    Echinacea boosts the immune system when taken for a short time, but long term usage actually suppresses the immune system Open Original Shared Link

    I got incredibly sick from eating these, but it was before I realized that I couldn't eat soy, either.

    Caring about your health is not silly, but it does seem to be more of a girl thing. I'm glad you are one of the enlightened men who choose to take action, rather than try to 'tough it out'.

    Yo no hablo espanol, pero, en la escuela secundaria he estudiado. Me permito recordar algunas. abre la puerta cerra la boca da me una cerveza which I think translates into: open the door, close your mouth, get me a beer. that should get me pretty far. I'll be going the end of August and plan to do barcelona, the southern towns, and Madrid...

    You are so strict!!

    Survived lab meeting. As usual I have to do more work. I think this whole system is messed up - whenever you do something, it leads to more somethings to do. If you do nothing, you never have to do anything.

    Keep in mind that there are a lot of sites out there suggesting products or procedures that could do you serious harm. I wouldn't suggest that you simply follow instructions from a website. You really should find a qualified health practitioner to assist you, if you plan to do dramatic things to your body.

    I've spent the last week running back and forth to a lab across the city to try out a machine my boss wants to buy. Now I'm supposed to analyze the data, compare it to what we use now, and present it at lab meeting tomorrow. Trouble is, the output isn't exactly the same (only one parameter is consistent between the two systems) and I essentially ran three...

    Tell him you also feel better when you exercise, but you find that to be an 'unpleasant lifestyle'. Since you've never been formally tested to see if you need to exercise, should you stop doing it?

    Your doctor needs to review his immunology text. The cells that know how to make the specific antibodies stay in your system for years. They only produce antibodies when challenged with the appropriate antigen. If you have antibodies in your system after 8 months you either a)Clear antibodies very slowly, or b)Still occasionally get some gluten (or a combination...

    Yes, but does that mean something like: 0-20 (no response, normal); 21-45 (equivocal); 46-100 (positive, high response). Or does it mean their whole test goes from 0- 20? That's what I mean about not giving you enough information. It's like getting a test back from a class that says you got 38 points. Well, is that out of 50? 100? 200? Just where do...
  18. Jestgar
    hmmm. If 0 - 20 were the normal range, then 47 would be really high. Maybe 0 - 20 is the negative range? It's really hard to tell when they don't give you complete information. Either way, if you feel better off gluten - there's your answer.
  19. Jestgar
    Your lab results should come with a range. 47 might be < positive for your lab.

    Because all the available men look like that......

    It's actually 200 mg/kg. They tested 22 products (excluding oat tests) and found 59% had less than 20 mg/kg (13/22), and 3/22 had > 200 mg/kg. 2 of these were corn products and one buckwheat. It does not tell you which products they tested, but they do say that contamination trended up with increased processing. Also, as you pointed out, this was done...

    what are you calling celiac antibodies? I'm not familiar with that term.
  23. Jestgar
    Emphasizing the word opinion here, as there are no studies done on what we call gluten intolerance. I, however, am of the same opinion as RWG. I think they are two (multiple?) versions of the same thing.

    I think I may have herniated a disk a couple weeks ago while mowing the lawn (I knew I shouldn't do chores!!!). My leg's been numb since then and yesterday it ached abominably. Fortunately I spend most of my day not sitting, which is easier, but I can't seem to convince anyone that I could do my job just as well from my bed.
