    Is this magnesum going to be absorbed through the intestines, or do I need to be searching for a sublingual version? -Sherri

    I just got dx'd and I've had a bizarre off and on sore throat for a few years. It literally comes on and goes away within an hour. Weird. Obviously better than having it all the time...but it's never been explained. Maybe it's aliens.

    What is "celiac stomach"?
  4. BRUMI1968
    I think I read that Celiac contributes to all other autoimmune diseases - if in no other way than in making the body suceptible. ITP is not genetic - they don't know what causes it. My doc thought maybe vaccinations or being on antibiotics a lot as a kid (I had lots of bladder infections). The reason prednison works is because it shuts down your immune...

    Great information! Thanks. I know I'm lacking all the other vitamins/minerals, so I'll start finding some good magneseum and trying that. I'm already better today, but can still feel the process is pretty slow moving through the system. I also appreicate you spelling out hard/impacted stool vs. constipation - because that is definitely more my problem...

    Wow...all that stuff sounds healthy. What about a sugar intolerance? Like fructose or something. is that possible? I'm just grasping at straws now. I certainly hope you feel better!

    I was diagnosed in early twenties. They did a bone marrow biopsy to rule out leukemia, and they ruled it out. The treatment for ITP which you may know is Prednisone for life or removal of spleen. I started on 100 mg of prednisone a day and went down so that by the end of the month, was on about 5mg per day. It was so awful - the treatment practically...

    English/Irish/Scottish/German. Tall (5ft9) blond hair as child, got darker and darker; now about 20% gray (at 37 y.o.) blue eyes fair skin My mom and sister are getting tested soon, now that I got a dx.

    My doc said pernicious anemia AND celiac disease, but they ddin't check my urine for anything...it sounds like they should've said vast deficiency in B12, probably caused by celiac disease but perhaps then testing for P.Anemia. Anyway, have had one shot and it didn't seem to help too much; take sublingual every day, also not helping too much (with the extreme...

    I had the itchies,mostly on the back of my head,on my spine, and down my rib cage. I thought maybe it was from where the chlorine was hitting me when I take hot showers (which in the winter, I do probably twice a day from being cold, probably from severe anemia). Anyway, I started puting lotion on after I get out of the shower, but I think being gluten...

    Also check out mercola.com and search that site for Soy.

    Anyone else with other autoimmune diseases? I have ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura), though I'm currently untreated and just fine. It is when the spleen decides to kill off all your platelets until you bleed to death. Great! Now I'm thinking having Celiac all my life might've contributed to getting ITP.

    I'm wondering what you mean by not being able to eat lots of fiber - like what specifically? That may well be a problem, I'm just trying to figure it out. Most people don't get enough fiber. I get most of mine through veggies like brussells sprouts, sweet potato, etc., and fruit such as avocado. I eat about four pieces of toast a day out of rice/pecan...

    I just noticed that I told you whenever I ate dairy (even small amounts) I would be able to tell due to the firming up of the old output. Then i told you I added back butter (in the form of ghee). Could it be I answered my own question? I'll cut out the ghee for a week and see what happens.
  15. BRUMI1968
    Yeah, I have been diagnosed as IBS since I was a teenager, and they always tried to get me to take Metamucil or something like that. Well, I always have been a rebel, and thought a natural food that God/nature invented must be better - but it wasn't until two years ago I finally got the whole thing under control. Here's what I did. 1. went to Ayurvedic...

    I went to the Walk for Peace and Healing right after the Celiac walk. (Honestly, I was too tired and brain fogged to get to Seattle on time for the first walk - I live in Bellingham.) But the shirts were great; there were still some folks hanging about in them. I especially liked seeing the little kids running around. Thanks to you guys. By next year...

    I stopped using Canola Oil because I read on mercola.com that when it is heated up, it becomes terrible for you. In fact, the only oil that is safe to use for high heat cooking is coconut oil. Olive oil is fantastic raw (virgin - unprocessed oil) but once you heat it, it can become carcinogenic or at the very least, lose its goodness. Coconut oil, of...

    You said you've eaten them before with no problems? I've personally had the problem of finding a food I love and eating it all the time until it starts to bug my stomach. I did this with honey, I've done it with sesame bars...you name it. I have to try to control myself for eating something to death.

    I'm reading the best book right now, "The Omnivores Dilemma" by Michael Pollen. He is a "natural history" writer, and here, he investigates the natural history of a fast food meal, an organic meal, and then a hunting/gathering meal. Anyway, the whole first section turns out to be about corn. It is amazingly interesting, and you'd be shocked to know how...

    Another problem with nightshades is that they require calcium to be digestd. This means that if you have not eaten calcium rich foods with the nightshade, it will leech calcium from your bones. This is important for vegans to understand, so they don't lose more bone mass - and many celiacs have osteopenia or osteoperosis too, so leeching anything out of...

    I checked the website of the face lotion I use - Dr. Haushka's - and it had the 'answer' in a Q&A section. In that case, many of the cosmetics used wheat germ oil, but they claimed to have removed all the protein in the process. They mentioned a couple things that have gluten. I don't know if other componies do this as well. I also have been Emailing...

    Another reason some foods say "may contain" and then say corn, soy, wheat, whatever, is because companies will use whichever thing is cheapest at the time of manufacture. This is especially true between corn and soy, since both of those foodstuffs can be made into virtually anything. Basically, a recipe can handle various ingredients in a slot - soy protein...

    Thanks to everyone. I realized that when I described myself as an eater, I used the old abbreviated version I use to protect myself from someone feeding me chicken stock or cheese or something. Actually, I eat salmon/halibut and eggs, but no other animals, and no dairy. Oh yeah, I actually added ghee, clarified butter, back to my diet a month or so ago...

    Okay...was diagnosed last week...so about a week gluten free. Always had the more constipation end of things. Already had quit wheat for two years, but not gluten. Am vegan too, have been for two years, vegetarian for 20 years before that. Needless to say, no iron or B12 in this girl. Anyway, now I am having this most ridiculous poop - it is like sawdust...
  25. BRUMI1968
    Hi everyone! New here, and surprised to find others who can't eat nightshades, though really it is no mystery that they would make folks sick, since they are poison. I had eliminated virutally everything from my diet and was still having intestinal problems; then hit on potatoes. I should've known since I have not been able to eat cooked tomatoes without...
