    If it was just male pattern, I do not believe you would see hair loss in other locations. Get screened for Celiac Disease if you have not already done so. Have you asked your doctors if you have alopecia? I have read that people with one auto-immune disease, will on average develop 2 - 3 auto-immune diseases. So it could be alopecia or a vitamin deficiency...

    Work with a good naturopath, functional medicine doctor, or doctor very knowledgeable about nutrients. I had some blood sugar issues at first. Berberine and Cinnamon are excellent to help even out blood sugar and avoid going into diabetes or some other disease. But work with someone knowledgeable that can make sure you don't have something else going on...

    No, I did have some symptoms of that, but no official diagnosis. I also had restless legs, and when I get glutened, that's usually my first indication.

    Absolutely you can feel worse...at first. As soon as I gave up gluten, I felt like I had the worst flu of my life, like I was hit by a truck that backed up over me several times. Bones ached, I felt weak, poisoned, I could barely stand up, I felt like I was 100 years old. Before going gluten-free, I did not have the so-called typical intestinal symptoms...

    I'm on my way over! Sounds wonderful. I was going to inject my turkey breast too, but realized I'd given my injector away years ago as I didn't know if I could clean it well enough to be safe, and then I never got another one. If you want to, can you share your recipe for the marinade you inject? I'm going to run out and see if I can get a cheap injector...

    That's why I try to stick to just whole food. All the processed gluten free things are worse for you than whole wheat.

    I did not have any intestinal symptoms before I was diagnosed with Celiac's, but I did have that cough, acid reflux, sometimes food would get stuck going down, and severe asthma. The acid reflux got a ton better when I went gluten free, but the asthma and cough persisted. I would cough for hours when laying down and trying to sleep. My traditional...

    It does take time to be completely healed, but you will get more and more healing as you continue on your path. I was diagnosed in the summer of 2015 at age 58. At that point, my kidneys were failing, I could hardly walk around the house, and I felt I was slowly dying (after decades of going to doctors, a natuopath diagnosed me in 15 minutes, thank God...

    A fluttering effervescent feeling in the abdomen was the only intestinal symptom I had.
  10. Beverage
    Lack of noticeable symptoms does not mean that an autoimmune reaction had not been triggered. Interpreting the level of reaction based on your symptoms does not necessarily correlate to having a reaction or not. I did not have the typical intestinal symptoms at all. It is hard for me to know when I've been glutened. It took a month of eating something...

    Kareng, thank you very much! I miss my full blown all home made sauce and noodles and everything. I tried with gluten-free noodles, and it was just mush. I will try it with these noodles. This looks like something we would love and so easy!

    I got an official written diagnosis WITHOUT the endoscopy. It's getting more accepted by celiac knowledgeable physicians (mine was an MD that is also a naturopath) if you meet these 3 points: 1. positive antibodies in blood test 2. positive DNA test 3. response to the gluten free diet
  13. Beverage
    Kareng...can you share this recipe? I miss my famous lasagna.

    I'm so glad you found out. I was 58 when I found out, now 63. Looking back, I probably had it since I was a teenager or at least young 20's. So many other problems that are taking me years to overcome, and some I never will. But I still consider the day the naturopath told me as the day that man saved my life.
  15. Beverage
    I wouldn't even walk in that place, the air is going to be filled with wheat flour.
  16. Beverage
    I also did not have good luck with traditional doctors in diagnosing Celiac's and in any follow up. I finally found a great naturopath up here near Seattle. One big lesson I learned from mine is that not all forms of vitamins absorb the same and give you results. Also certain combinations of vitamins work better, as they help each other absorb. Classic...

    Celic's gain weight because they subsitute gluten free processed foods made with refined white flours from rice and other starches .... uhhhh, yea, not good, they're just as bad or even worse than refined wheat flour. Eat whole foods. Meat, vegetables, some fruit. Snack on cut up veggies, nuts. No refined processed stuff. I found tons of great ideas...

    Magda, I am so sorry to hear you are having so much trouble sticking with being gluten free. You might investigate why you are either in denial or if it's a rebellion thing. Just go hang around someone with dementia or alzheimer's disease... yea, that was my Mom's fate because she was not diagnosed, but we found classic symptoms all over her medical...

    It's harder than many thing to keep gluten out of your digestive system. It's not only what you put in your mouth to eat, it's also what you breathe or touch and then possibly touch your mouth. Anything you put on your body...shampoos, conditioner, cleansers, body lotion, they can contain obvious gluten ingredients like wheat germ oil, but the tocopherols...

    I miss falafel. Made this recipe using gluten free dried garbanzas from Nuts.com, substituted gluten-free flour (made a double batch and half cooked the extra and froze them so I can eat just a few anytime, just heating in oven): https://www.americastestkitchen.com/videos/4088-falafel?extcode=MCSAD10L0&ref=new_search_experience_2 And...

    I finally got my sister to get tested, it took a few years to get her to ask for it when she goes in for her annual blood tests. She has diverticulitis, hiatal hernia, food gets stuck all the time (been to emergency several times for it), unknown causes of diarrhea (just something she ate but doesn't know what, "something spicy" "certain spices" "other people...

    I am another one that does not get intestinal symptoms when getting glutened. I get joint pains, sometimes headache, weak feeling in legs and arms, depressed, crying, muddy thinking, sometimes it makes my asthma trigger. I tried purity protocol oats early on, and had to eat it for a month before I got any intestinal symptoms. So I'm also one that reacts...
  23. Beverage
    Correct. With auto immune disease, the response is often stronger as the immune system recovers and gets stronger. So eating gluten and having less of a reaction is a sign that your immune system is WEAKER, not that things are better. I don't think that's what you want to do.
  24. Beverage
    I felt like I got hit by a semi truck for about a month after I stopped eating gluten. Body aches, weak, shaking, muscle spasms, gut ache, and headache. I could hardly get out of the chair. For me, I lost 30 lbs. in that month (and I wasn't overweight), all water weight, and under all that, I was just a bag of bones. So I was starving to death. It all settled...
  25. Beverage
    I wouldn't do it unless I was going to the electric chair, and maybe not even then. The thought of it churns my stomach and makes the hair stand up on my arms. I'm not sure I could even swallow it. Yuck. Poison. I have accidentally eaten things I thought were gluten free and absolutely no response. That doesn't mean there was not an auto immune reaction...
