    thank you for all of your replies. i saw my general practioner today who said that the gluten-free diet is diagnoses itself. i have so many other health issues that i (after reading abstracts posted here and at the www.brain.hastypastry.net) feel relate to celiac; psoriasis, arthritis, that Dr's want to pump me full of drugs for. i want to see a celiac...

    i seem to have this response to many posts... it cannot hurt to add probiotics to your diet. they'll help digest your food and heal your gut. i would also pay attention to all the foods you eat, pay attention to what you ate last before an episode, sounds like it could be an allergy. and make sure that you get some sort of fat and or protein when you...

    ======================================= try taking probiotics and enzymes for a while, (in fact, do not stop taking them - they'll help heal up your gut) then try reintroducing lactose slowly with yogurt.

    ==================================================== if you guys are there at the same time, you should look each other up - you could dine gluten free together. just an idea...

    i have been gluten free for 3.5 years and lactose free for 2.5 years. i am still unable to simply eat dairy; cheese, milk, cream, etc. i am able to eat it when it is cooked, however, and in small amounts. don't know why, perhaps because the protein molecule has been denatured due the cooking process and is different to digest. i have read into this matter...

    I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. my face and head are covered with the sandpaper-ish stuff. i have been virtually gluten free for the past 3.5 years. yet i still have the darn stuff. i have recently (through much researching, etc.) pondered the idea that candidas comes as a secondary to celiac. (if you really read into it, it would be hard NOT...

    ===================================================== you're consuming alot of sugar, try to phase yourself to vegetables. start with your favorite veges and move on to trying different/new ones. your fatigue probably comes from high blood sugar levels, followed by crashing. get off the sugar, because most celiacs have candidas. DO get yourself...

    I have tried all kinds. my personal favorite is the whole foods bakery brand - the one with sun dried tomatoes and garlic - the other is just okay. it makes fantastic toast and anything else you want to use it for. they also have pizza crust that is to die for. i use it as a dipping bread for when we have pasta (brown rice pasta in my experience is the...

    =================================================== Have been on the Candex for about 2 weeks. Don't really notice anything yet. thank you for passing it on though.

    I went gluten free 3.5 years ago. since then i have gained 20 pounds. i was my high school weight for 20 years, and i thought i was just eating well and excercising. little did i know that i was incredibly malnourished and in fact though 20 lbs heavier still am. it takes a long time for the gut to heal, and the longer you've been sick, the longer it will...

    I had my gallbladder out a year before i realized i had celiac. but, in retrospect i feel i have had celiac most of my life and ignored it feeling that i was just having digestive problems. i did find out 1 year after going off gluten that i became lactose intolerant. giving that up made things better. i also am a vegetarian and that made a huge difference...

    =============================== okay i'm a little embarassed to even say this but, i did not know brewers yeast had gluten. i know it is a type of fungus, but did NOT know it contained gluten. do you know where i can further information reflecting the brewer's yeast/gluten connection?
  13. Guinevere
    =============================== go to www.healthtruth.reachlocal.net, click on the candidas button, look around until you find the candidas survey. it is extensive and pretty thorough.
  14. Guinevere
    =========================== thank you for the response. do you mind if i ask how you came by your information? there is no way that i can consume gluten, even once, to test for antibodies as it makes me miserably sick for about a week! not sure how i can legitimize this. will see dr nxt week.
  15. Guinevere
    . =============================================== thank you for this incredibly valuble information. I will be forwarding it to many others and will print for my own Dr's files!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    my father does have psoriasis and has not been tested for celiac or gluten intolerance. he tried giving up gluten for a couple of months, but could not keep it up. he is chronically constipated and is hooked on coffee. wish i could have shared something more helpful. my grandparents also had psoriasis, as does 3 of my siblings, one of which also is...

    I have terrible tendon problems. In shoulder, elbows, wrists and ankles. I believe it is due to malnutrition. I have been taking free form amino acids so that my digestive system does not have to break down protein to rebuild - it gets it in a "ready to go" form. I have also heard that it is important to take a balanced form of minerals as an adjunct...

    Thank you for your response. I would like to correspond with you personally about the ThreeLac as I have recently come off of it. Would you let me know how I can do that?

    I have been gluten free for 3 years and lactose free for 2. I have had psoriasis for 25 years (since I was 15) and psoriatic arthritis for 24). I have not seen any improvement in my skin yet. However, I have recently made a post regarding the connection of celiac, psoriais, etc. with candidas. There's alot of talk about them being connected. My question...

    I've been doing alot of online researching. According to the more alternative sources, Celiac can be related to candidas, leaky gut, and IBS. WOW, where does one begin. In addition to celiac and lactose intolerance, I have psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. According to the information I find on these above mentioned diseases, they're all connected...

    I became gradually lactose intolerant even after giving up gluten. My symptoms were similar in some ways, gas, diahrrea, bloating, etc. But were not as intense as gluten (similar to a Mac Truck). At present (2 years later) I can consume very small quantities of dairy (very small, like 1 t.).

    Two years ago, I was tested through endoscopic and blood work for celiac disease. At the time of testing I had been gluten free for a year. Both the endoscopic and blood work came out negative. However, I have very strong reactions to gluten. In fact, it is my third day in a row of intense headaches, stomach ache, nauseau, brain fog and fatigue after...
