    Yes, I also found going gluten-free to be a real plus for my mood. However, what really helped afterward was a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) supplement, and also magnesium. I can't say enough positive things about these two nutrients. I think it is obvious that the body and mind cannot function properly when it lacks the nutrients it needs.

    If you are not intolerant to all grains, some which have decent protein content are teff, amaranth, buckwheat (not related to wheat, and not even a grain), millet, and quinoa. Chia seeds have a good amount of protein too. If you like green peas, they are loaded with protein. An easy way to eat a lot of peas is to put them in the blender with some water, and...

    I think it is important to keep in mind that yeast grows. Therefor, the longer you wait, the more positive the test is likely to appear. That is, until there isn't anything left for the yeast to live on. So IMO there would be a time limit to the reliability. I think that's why they specify doing the test first thing when you wake up, before eating anything...

    Hi everyone. I ran into this easy home test for candida, and just had to post it. I've never heard of this before. It just uses an ordinary glass of water - nothing to buy! Open Original Shared Link

    Apologies for the late response. Since I don't do dairy, I wouldn't be one to use that product. The Source Naturals one is sublingual, so there are no digestion issues with it. Just for clarity, sublingual means it dissolves under the tongue. I'm not suggesting that it is the best product, but I know it works, and it's cheap. Also most others have ingredients...

    Yeah, I agree, and the bit about the diagnosis criteria is encouraging, though I will be surprised if anything changes on that front anytime soon.

    Feeling cold all the time is often a sign of nutrient deficiency. A Google search turned up multiple references to B12, and I've read similar things about numerous other supplements, such as magnesium and zinc. So I'd recommend Googling up feeling cold/chills and some of the other symptoms you may have and see what relates to you. Also consider any food cravings...

    One thing that stands out is the pharmaceutical grade supplements. I've read that at least some are synthetic, and not very if at all effective. For instance, vitamin D in the natural form is D3, but the pharmaceutical grade one is D2, which is essentially useless from what I've read. Apparently they do this because they cannot patent a natural vitamin. ...

    What I don't quite understand is the "grind it yourself kind" statement. If it isn't ground already, then it's not peanut butter yet LOL. Wouldn't that be whole peanuts? I guess what you mean is that if you buy whole peanuts, they're more likely to have more mold due to the fact that they would probably be sitting around longer than the ones which are ground...

    They don't warn for it. The cyanocobalamin form is the most common, probably because it's cheap. Go figure. Here's one place to get the Source Naturals product: Open Original Shared Link

    I've found I get a nice creamy frosting by mixing carob (or cocoa) powder, coconut oil, and a bit of Stevia. Optionally you may want to add a little salt too, as it seems to help the flavor. I don't use cocoa, but I'm sure it would work just as well as the carob. The more oil you use, the softer the frosting, so just start with a small amount and work up...

    I think if you're eating the natural peanut butter, which is just peanuts and salt, then it's not so bad IMO. The ones full of fillers, sugar, and all that are what I'd call junk food. That's not to say there isn't something better than PB, but the body seems to do a decent job of telling us what it needs (at least most of the time). I agree that coconut...

    The use of the "cure" in your post seems to suggest that after using the drug, a Celiac can become non-Celiac, stop taking the drug, and go on with their lives (including the consumption of gluten) as if they never had Celiac. Is that really what is being promised? I mean, in my view, having to continually take a drug is "disease management", not a cure....

    Although I haven't had the need to take off weight, some things which are said to help are using coconut oil in place of butter/margarine and cooking oils, and getting adequate fiber intake. Also avoiding artificial additives, MSG, and high-allergenic foods would probably help to some degree. Occasional glutenings may be hampering your weight-loss efforts...

    It does sound like it could be DH, or perhaps something else gluten-related. The pimples typically associated with DH are often said to be tiny, pointed ones, with a red rash around it. However, not everyone on this board seems to get this exactly, so I suspect there can be more variation to it than the "textbook case". Other things can cause a rash too...

    Unfortunately, that product contains an inferior form of B12, which actually contains cyanide. It also still requires conversion by the liver, so the benefits aren't what they should be. Additionally, the liver must take on the task of disposing of the cyanide. I didn't see any gluten-free statements about it either. Source Naturals makes one, as do others...

    In many cases, it can take weeks or months to see improvement from a gluten-free diet. However, there may very well be other food intolerances, especially at first. One of the most common of these is lactose intolerance, so it is strongly advisable to avoid dairy for awhile too, and reintroduce later, to see how it goes. Some other things to consider avoiding...

    No, it is NOT all in your head. Something is causing the sensations. As others have suggested, both nutrient deficiencies and food intolerances may be contributing factors. While I can't be sure if restless leg syndrome has anything to do with it, I do know that RLS is often a result of nutrient deficiencies, most notably magnesium. So I would echo the suggestion...

    I have always regarded any level of the antibodies as indicative of at least an intolerance, if not Celiac. It doesn't make sense to me that the immune system would be reacting at all otherwise. If antibodies to every natural food substance can be identified, then that's a different story, but until then I see no reason to think the antibody levels must reach...

    I also has terrible pains like that, until I began taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. I don't know about the lumps though. A quick Googling turned this up: Open Original Shared Link

    I don't know if candida has anything to do with it, but I'd think that would be something to look into. This board has tons of posts on the subject, which you might find helpful.

    Beans and peas are legumes. That is, they grow in pods. Lentils are typically referred to as Open Original Shared Link, and are also a legume.
  23. RiceGuy
    Yes, I do think it is a direct result of the intestinal damage, as that's what causes the nutrient deficiencies despite healthy eating habits.

    Most of the improvement in sleep patterns came once I started taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12). I'd highly recommend it. There is no known level of overdose, so take all you want. The recommended dosage is 3-5mg per day, preferably spaced throughout the day rather than all at once. The 1mg strength seems like a good way to do that. Just make sure...
  25. RiceGuy
    Besides a B-complex and B12, many on this board find it beneficial to take magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and probably a few others I'm not recalling ATM.
