Terrible Neurological Symptoms
Maverita replied to HectorConvector's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Have you looked at other possible food sensitivities? I looked up the ingredients of gluten-free Pita breads and all of them contained several ingredients that I cannot tolerate, including but not limited to: yeast, xanthum gum, unulin (if from chicory), non-GMO corn, buckwheat, etc.... Many nerve issues are relieved when inflammation is relieved, so... -
first post, warning, GI symptoms discussed :-/

The article above, Ten Things to Try if You Accidentally Ingest Gluten, includes rice milk as something soothing. They may have changed things, but last time I checked rice milk might qualify as gluten-free, but it may not be wheat-free.... 20 years ago my doctor pushed me to add rice milk to my diet and it made me sick... Turned out that the enzymes they... -
My heart goes out to you. I remember the pain and isolation of chronic diarrhea (plus serious flatulence). I too have experienced improvement with each tweak of my diet, only to lose ground for no discernible reason. You have probably tried these ideas, but... Have you eliminated all lactic acid, fake sugars and xanthum gum? all very iffy. all go right through...

By the time I was diagnosed as having celiac disease I had leaky gut syndrome and had developed multiple food allergies/sensitivities. This was discovered slowly as I cleaned up my diet bit by bit. My doctor accused me of not being compliant with the gluten-free diet, but she also suggested I use almond and rice milks, both of which contained just enough...

Study Connects Antibiotics in First Year of Life with Celiac Disease
Maverita commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Latest Research
For me it was 3 weeks of daily penicillin shots at 21 months of age. Then off and on through life until 18 months of daily tetracycline plus mega shots of penicillin following an accident. Shortly after that I developed not only celiac, but was diagnosed with multiple food and chemical allergies/sensitivities. I know now that I was undiagnosed through childhood... -
What kind / brand of face lotion is good?
Maverita replied to BellabellaBellabella's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I would recommend Medicine Mama's Bee Magic - the ingredients are limited to: 0rganic olive oil, beeswax, honey, propolis extract, Bee pollen, and Royal jelly. It is kind of heavy, so for use on my face I would work it into my hands and then lightly pat a moist just out of the shower face. OR just use some organic olive oil (again lightly) until your skin... -
Symptoms questions about being glutened
Maverita replied to Bookgirl32's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had a hard time tracking down my problems as well. A few things that are considered gluten free that were causing me the same grief as gluten were white (likely wheat based) vinegar, alcohol (also likely wheat based), and xanthum gum (who knows?). Also, beware of natural flavors, as that can hide grain-based alcohol, which is allegedly gluten-free but... -
I am not saying it is not the heat, but ozone could be a contributing factor. Where I live, hot sunny days often come with high ground ozone levels. High ground ozone can cause migraines. I am pretty much guaranteed a migraine when ozone levels get too high, and it can take a couple of days to get rid of it.
