    I'm a little confused. You mentioned being gluten sensitive. Have you actually been diagnosed with Celieac disease? What makes you think your gluten sensitivity is linked to your toxcicity disease? Celiac disease is tied to the possession of certain corrupt genes. Are you saying you believe that this toxic exposure you speak of has also caused damage or mutation...

    I think you should consider giving your body a chance to heal from a gluten-free diet before you have someone taking out sections of your bowel. Experts say it can take up to two years for the small intestine to completely heal after going gluten-free. With removal of part of your small intestine you are introducing an automatic nutrient absorption handicap...

    What is "intussueption"?

    What are the numbers on your liver enzymes anyway? I note you have Graves. Could your weight loss be tied to that? That's thyroid, right?

    Rachel, I don't want to scare you but fatty liver disease can be a serious thing, if you have it to a significant degree. But you say it isn't bad in your case. What are they looking for in the CT scan? You might want to talk to a gastro doc about a liver biopsy if your are uncomfortable. You don't want your liver enzymes to be elevated for a significant...

    I'm certainly no geneticist or biochemist but I think with CF the mucous problem is not just limited to the digetstive track but is found systemically, i.e., in the respiratory track as well so it would seem to be a coincidence.

    Hold on now! The length of one's eyelashes is genetically determined, like blue eyes. It woun't be affected by changing your diet.

    My guess its like a lot of other foods. It can be good for you in modest quantities but bad when used to excess. We are a nation of concentrators and supersizers. Of course, like many other foods, there are those individuals who have an allergy/intolerance/sensitivity to it who need to avoid it altogther.

    Wow! How long have you had the problem? Does this kind of thing run in your family that you know of?

    Can you be more specific? What is the nature of your heart disease? Is it plaque build up in the cornonary arteries? Congestive heart failure? Enlarged heart? Some kind of arythmia? Bad valves? I haven't heard of any connection between heart disease and celiac disease but I wonder if the nutrient malaborption which is part of celiac disease could come...

    ARCHIVED Spell Check?

    trents replied to trents's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    Sure, you can check it in your WP and then paste it, but the issue is convenience.

    As far as the amount of memory goes, left click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner and then left click on "Control Panel". Locate the "System" incon in the Control Panel window and left double click on it. Under the "General" tab there is information about the amount of ram installed in your computer. If necessary, you can have more memory installed...

    Is there a way to totally remove a posted message you have submitted to the message board? Occasionally I have inadvertantly submitted a post twice because it didn't seem to show up the first time I submitted but later I realized it was on a new page or something.

    I've been reading a book on food allergies and it points out that there are several proteins in milk that can cause allergic reactions. Casseine is jus the most common one.

    I'm not sure Zrteck or any antihistimine is effective in surpressing allergic reactions in the gut. They work for the nasal passages and epidermal areas but I'm not sure it would impact problems in the gut. Maybe somebody else could address this question with more authority than I.

    Have you actually been diagnosed as a Celiac by antibody tests and endoscopy or was this a self-diagnosis? As you probably are aware, any allergy testing, whether it be by skin or by blood, is far from completely reliable. They are all subject to the possibility/probability of not only some false positives but also false negatives, i.e., indicating an...

    ARCHIVED Milk!

    trents replied to VydorScope's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Seldom is someone totally lactose intolerant. Most adults who have a problem with milk sugar still make some of the digestive enzyme (lactase) and it may be just a matter of reducing the amount of noncultured milk products you use or adding some of the commercial enzyme products to them. Try some different brands of soy milk. They vary tremendously in...

    No one knows for sure what the connection is. The best theory I've heard has to do with the leaky gut syndrome caused by the inflamation of the autoimmune response to gluten in people with Celiac disease. According to the theory, the gut lining becomes more permeable and allows larger than normal protein molecules from incompletely digested food to pass into...

    I was wondering how many of you had elevated liver enzymes as one of your presenting medical conditions in the process of Celiac diagnosis. In retrospect, that was the first tip for me that something was wrong. I was first made aware of the liver enzymes being a little high when I went to donate blood in about 1990 at a Red Cross bloodmobile. They continued...

    How many of you had elevated liver enzymes as one of your presenting medical issues before Celiac diagnosis?
  22. trents
    Was the second test of the same type as the first? If not, that could explain the difference. Aside from that, there's the leaky gut issue. If there has been healing in your gut lining then some of those larger than normal protein molecules of an incomplete digestion stage are no longer getting into circulation.

    ARCHIVED Spell Check?

    Is there a way to check the spelling on the posts you create either before or after you send them? I have seen this feature on other forums.

    Found this article to be very enlightening: Open Original Shared Link It indicates that many labs don't purify the antigen extracts they use to test your serum's antibody production. Thus, the test may really be finding antibodies to fungus, bacteria and other pathogens that were in the antigen as contaminates rather than intrinsic immuno properties of...

    Were you guys aware that mega oral doese of B12 (1000-2000 mcg daily) is also effective in treating pernicious anemia? Thought you might like to know as that is now an acceptable alternative to shots.
