Th1 And Th2 In Immune System Problems
GAPS diet is a version of the Specific Carboyhdrate Diet that's got extra probiotics and a lot of gelatin-rich bone broth. It is designed to heal the intestine and hopefully repopulate it with healthier bacteria. Open Original Shared Link For the TH1 vs TH2 branches of the immune system, here are a few links. It's not simple and the articles explain it better than I will. The idea is that the immune system gets out of balance, but it can be different in different people. Herbs that work fo
Short Hair
Up until senior year in Highschool, I did hurt myself, usually when I failed at something and or got too emotionaly distraught. I used objects or my hands to hit myself. One moody day I did successfully knock my jaw out of alignment, that hurt more than I thought it would. I vowed to God if He healed me I'd never do it again. The Chiropractor couldn't get my jaw realigned, I had waited too long to go see him. Hurting myself was wrong and didn't fix anything, obviously. Other students were depres

On a limited number of packages, the lid describes the product as Blue Bunny Super Chunky CoDark Minded Child
I've had issues since I can remember. In kindergarten I remember thinking all the other kids hated me, that there was something seriously different about me, something wrong. These thoughts were most likely from my negative family, seemed to be passed down. I believed those negative things and it hurt. Then they sent me to chiropractors at age five for scoliosis, which I did have, x-rays proved that there were three curves. Could be debilitating if it wasn't controlled soon.

What's The Dishes That You Miss Due To Being On A Gluten-Free Diet? And I'll Cook It!
Hi guys, I'm a chef that cooks gluten-free dishes from starters to desserts. I'm not celiac myself but wanted to ask a question. "What are the dishes that you miss because of being a celiac or on gluten-free diet? It can be anything!" I ask this because I love cooking gluten-free: sticky toffee puddings, ravilois, fresh breads, bread and butter puddings, fresh pastas and so on. I would love your feedback instead of me guessing what to cook. Thank you, Scot
Waiting For Nov1 Blood Test!...back On Wheat!
I was off gluten for 6 days and have an appointment for a colonoscopy Nov 3rd and plan to take the Blood test on Nov 1 (can take it anytime before Jan 4, but why wait?) so I have two weeks that I have to go back on wheat products (and feel crappy, and sleepy and horrible!!!)before the tests. I do however, plan to go off wheat enjoying some of my favorites. I finished my ovaltine this AM and had Lasagna for Lunch!!! very sleepy, foggy headded and paying for it otherwise though!...Oh well t
Where I Stand And Taking One
It has been a while since my last post. I came home from medical school to think things over, but it has been the best decision for me. My head is screwed on straight and I am really focused. It has been an interesting few weeks. I came home to stay with a family member with Celiac, who was diagnosed 1 year ago. It is mind boggling just how little she knew about her condition and the danger in her everyday eating habits. It really saddens my heart that doctors do not educate patients more on thi
From: Gluten Allergy
I just recently found out that I'm allergic to gluten and wheat. I'm just wondering what other testing I need to have done? I got the blood test done for celiac and it came back negative. I heard that the only way to really tell is if you get a biopsy of the small intestines. My homeopathic doctor doesnt think I have it but I dont know what to do. She wants me to get done this testing called (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) Testing. It checks for food intolerances
Celiac Ninja's Experience
I haven't written a blog in years. Well I guess this should be about gluten-free eating and the trials I went through to get where I'm at. Probably future goals and stuff too.Oklahoma Firm Recalls Center Cut Steaks Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Wheat
Chef’s Requested Foods, Inc., an Oklahoma City, Okla., establishment is recalling approximately 875 pounds of center cut steaks because the packages actually contain turkey filets. The turkey filets contain the allergens wheat and soy, and the center cut steak labels do not list wheat as an ingredient, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product subject to recall includes: 10-oz. plastic double cup packages of “Chef’s Requested CEHighlights of 2 months GF life
Almost 2 months of GF and here are some highlights. I’m finding it hard to tell if being GF is helping. I had a sinus infection when I began my GF diet, and now have had one for almost 3 weeks (thought it was a migraine for the first week). I believe my body is reacting to the nasty antibiotics and my mind is more focused on fighting off the discomfort than appreciating any benefits GF might be providing. Unfortunately, I can’t separate the disc
Prolab Proactively Recalls Some Protein Products in Order to Correct Labeling for Items That May Have Undeclared Wheat and Gluten
PROLAB NUTRITION INC. (PROLAB) is recalling some of its protein items that may contain undeclared milk, wheat and gluten allergens. People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or wheat and gluten allergens may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume products containing these allergens. For this reason, below is a list of the protein products that PROLAB is proactively recalling, although no illnesses or discomfort has been reported to date: PCeliac Remission
When I saw Marku Makki talk, he spoke about desensitization and spontaneous remission in some celiacs. He has seen it in his decades of practice. It's in one of his articles but I can't seem to turn it up. I did find some other stuff for you. I don't know whether the Gut links will work for you because I have an academic affiliation that allows me to see research articles but I copied the conclusions. Desensitization. Open Original Shared Link This is the best article I can find. ItSick And Tired
This is my first blog, not really sure how this works, and i know i am terrible at spelling but here it goes. I went into a "gluten free" resturaunt and asked about cross contamination and i was told "if i actually have celiac disease that i shouldnt eat there". Apparently alot of "gluten free" resturaunts today are for people on a gluten free diet trying to loose weight. It is extreamly frustrating when every time all my friends go out to eat i have to sit without food and watch every one else
Spouse Does Not Understand
I do not have Celiac but I am gluten intolerant. I am also diabetic so I need to avoid excess sugars. The problem is my husband, who is wonderful, does not understand gluten intolerance and though I have tried to explain the importance of how I eat, he keeps asking me to go out for Pizza or to Burger King and places like that. He is a junk food junkie. I feel guilty because I keep having to say no. I want to go out with him but to places that I can eat healthy. I know he does not mea
Who's Frustrated? Oh Wait...that's Me....
If I really am honest, I began this journey years ago as a kid always overweight not understanding why. Finally was able to lose the weight in college actually through eliminating gluten, just not realizing it. Fast forward to two years ago. Gained the weight back...stubborn acne and still suffering from stomach issues. Gyno tests my hormones-they're normal. Then tests for PCOS-comes back negative. I so badly want to figure out what the heck is wrong with me-I'm successful in every other ar

John Scott pointed me to Wiki entry about the effect of diet on hookworm egg production: https://www.helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/NA_incubation:_very_detailed_method_by_Alana#Promotion_of_egg_viability_by_dietary_manipulation
Nothing presently in my diet was mentioned in the article, but it does bring up the obvious point that my diet would naturally affect the health and wellness of the hookworms that live in my gut. Something to think about.

Yes, there are several gluten-free certifications out there (one is the GFCO), and the usual standard they claim is 10ppm, however, recent findings indicate that even the GFCO's higher standards may not ensure that foods they certify are gluten-free:

What Parents Need to Know About Raising a Child with Celiac Disease (+Video)
What I liked: 1. Narrator had a good, clear speaking voice and smiled pleasantly. 2. Good practical information that was logically organized and succinct. What I didn't like: 1. Narrator was obviously reading from a teleprompter script, including topic headers, which seemed very wooden and unnatural. Almost like listening to a Joe Biden...- birthday
