I suffer from DH and have not had the discipline to go paleo, or elimination diet , but have a low iodine, whole food, etc diet.

I continue the no gluten, no dairy battle, have reduced my dapsone to 25 mgs 2xday

I was wondering if the the garden of life Raw Meal mixed with coconut water is

Good to have once a day 7 days a week,

I have not been good with my "leaky gut" healing....for example have not been following a food rotation, forget my fermented veggies etc....but have been good eating whole foods and avoiding processed foods.

Having one meal a day be a powder shake does make my life simpler.

Thoughts?

And thanks....

I don't know if its a good idea to replace real food with a drink but..... I just don't feel comfortable with barley and wheat grass. It should be gluten-free, but ......

I would avoid Raw Meal.  It said gluten free all over the package so I assumed it was safe.  It left me in fetal position for days.  Going from my bed to the toilet to vomit it out.  After I called the company Garden of Life to let them know,  the rep on the phone ditched any responsibility.  I wasn't eating out or taking chances with anything else which was packaged.  It was the Raw Meal.  I know because one of my symptoms of gluten is the outside of my right arm itches - and this product gave me those itches.  Foolishly I kept consuming the product.  I got sick.  I called back a second time and again they denied responsibility but offered me a credit for more G of L product - after ditching responsibility for selling a product which wasn't what it claimed to be.  I wouldn't buy another product that Garden of Life had anything to do with again.  BTW G of L was recently bought out by Nestle.  They claim that the quality wont drop.  I doubt it.

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By MHavoc · Posted

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?
