Hi,
I consider myself on the road to recovery thanks to a great Dr. and clinical nitritionist-who are both celiacs. I have been sick for 1.5years and found out I had Celiac 4 months ago by a nurse practitioner. I thought I was headed for a hospital stay. I tried to manage my diet myself at first, but even though I was gluten-free, I did not feel the way I knew I should. I was put on an elimination diet and found out I have an intolerance to dairy, wine, and soy protien. (soy protien has a similar molecular make-up as the gluten protien) I am now starting to feel somewhat normal again, and after I rid myself of H. Pylori bacteria which I was tested positive for, my Dr. says my body will be able to repair the major damage that has been done. I have learned so much from this Dr. and I am so thankful I have found people that can help.

Hi Rachel,
I believe we have the same DR. Did you find the flier at Cupertino nutrition?
Well, I am going on my third visit with him and I am currently on the elimination diet which I find very hard, but its only for a month. I always had a feeling there was another food out there that bothered me and I think it is soy, but not sure yet. He told me soy protien can cause the same reaction as gluten in some people becasue of the similar molecular structure of the two proteins. I found that to be very interesting. Maybe that is why I could never feel 100% He aslo told me that it could take up to 3 weeks to recover from being glutened.
Let me know how your visits go and Ill keep you posted on mine.

Hi,
I will only eat a salad that is self serve with individual tongs for each item. Otherwise, I bring my own food. I've been glutened to many times by prepared salads.
