    Yep, it does seem I'm getting better. Thanks everyone for your good thoughts.

    Gosh, well I just got my results from my blood drawing yesterday: I'm not even sure what to say. How did my anemia go away that quickly? I began the diet at the beginning of June, wtf?

    Ok thanks! Yeah I thought that was a really weird question for a hemotologist to be asking me. I thought "WTF eat ice? Like food?! Eat?! !! ??" but I guess I do like to munch on ice...? Is that so wrooooong? (Nothing else, it's only ice, because my stomach feels better when it's cold.) He acted like I was a looney, and eating ice was dangerous...

    Ah right, I forgot about ferretin. I keep failing to register any ferretin, which is to say I'm below the threshold of detection. Which is pretty low.

    Before diagnosis, I drank Guinness Extra Stout constantly. I reacted with sneezing, but otherwise felt great for days afterward - it seemed really healthy stuff for me. Except for once or twice when the left side of my face melted... but I got better. Anyway, now I know why I sneezed and my face melted.

    Hello, I tried eating a high-calorie diet for several years, and then taking iron supplements and eating red meat every day for a month or two. Then I had a hematocrit done, and got a 17. Being a man without hemophilia, or a large bleeding ulcer, etc, that's strange. Now I have a diagnosis of Celiac Disease, but I wonder how normal it is to be so anemic...

    "Hmm, Celiac Disease. I'll never be able to eat a lot of things again, let's see... this... and that, never eating that again... can't finish this half Guinness, or the one I hadn't opened yet... ...Well I can still eat these funny-shaped rice cakes I just got. Yeah *munch*crunch* yeah, rice cakes."

    Yeah I am not liking that either. I was surprised to learn my brothers had blood tests done (I don't know what the results are yet), I was getting the impression my warnings were ignored. And ignored some more. My mother being Irish, and my father not, she's the likely carrier, but she is making excuses and bloviating about how she "knows" she doesn...

    Pfft. Yeah, having been thirteen and ill all the time, and then fifteen and too ill to stay in school through the day some times, I can tell you it isn't fun. And I'm a guy, for a girl it will be impossible to stand being that sick all the time in front of everyone. Here's an idea, I'm assuming here that she's been following the diet well...

    The hostility and presumptuousness is a bit heavy here, come on everyone. This is an unusual condition - it's autoimmune, but also dietary. Since it's dietary like a food allergy, it's reasonable to think it can be wangled-around like a food allergy. But wait, the food is just a trigger for an autoimmune condition, so it's reasonable to think "...What...

    I am not a mycologist and so I am not familiar with the unusually large need fungi have for iron. It could be building a common structure, it could be helping to convert an environmental material into useful food.

    You will need to stay within legality Cindy, and Open Original Shared Link suggests you can indeed do this legally in both NC and NY (although I gather you would only consider doing this in NY). I should point out I'm not sure how useful this tactic would be, but I maybe you want to anyway.

    C.D. causes iron malabsorption which causes us to leave iron in the gut, which is encouraging to Candida. Once it grows into an area it can be difficult to get rid of.

    I have stopped taking it, but originally it went like this: start on 3mg, become tolerant and use 6mg, become tolerant and use 9mg, become disturbed that I'm tolerant to even that much, decide to skip a night or two and try to fatigue myself into sleep with low-weight/high-repetition excercise (with limited success, I always felt a little worse without melatonin...

    Yes, my condition has not improved at all since diagnosis. But I haven't had much time on the diet, and I went undiagnosed for a long time. I've only had an easy time because I'm so used to having to change my diet, most people say it's terribly unpleasant. "No pizza?! OMG Ima gonna dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee", but see I just want to stop suffering...

    Insomnia has been a reliable symptom for me. I conclude it is due to the discomfort of this condition, since the rare times when I've gotten rid of the discomfort have been followed quickly by sleep.
  18. Rice Cakes
    C.D. suppresses the appetite unhealthily - if you feel as if eating makes you feel good now, well gosh that's no surprise. Your insides aren't (or aren't as much of) an uncomfortable mess anymore.

    Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is not something I would recommend taking frequently - after doing so to aid sleep, I found it was making me very ill and I will no longer use it for anything.
  20. Rice Cakes
    celiac disease causes us to leave iron in the gut, which encourages fungal growth. The more likely problem is a diet failure, Stuporman have you been keeping to the diet absolutely? Or has it been there since before you were diagnosed? Ok who's the wise guy with the filter. What if I wanted to use the abbreviation to mean compact disc instead...

    I was wondering what everyone used flax for, actually. Granola, baking, bars. But I hadn't thought of yogurt, that's good - especially since I usually have to get plain only.
  23. Rice Cakes
    Does anyone have any suggestions for making it less of a pain to get lots of fat through yogurt? I finally have my reason why I've always liked to have lots of yogurt (fat malabsorption, anti-thrush treatment), but I'm having to eat quite a bit of it still. I have gotten Stonyfield Farm's whole milk yogurt for years, but now I can't even find it at the...

    Ah, for a gluten-free mimic of Guinness's Extra Stout.
  25. Rice Cakes
    Yeah I didn't think about any of that before you mentioned that up above. Yuck. Was it solely celiac disease that disqualified you?
