Overcoming

Greetings old friends and new folks.  At one time I had lost all of my swelling (after avoiding all foods I had antibodies to).  After that I added many foods back in.  Shortly thereafter I began to swell back up and for some reason, I missed the problem.  Finally I had gone from 155 lbs to 203 lbs (No sweets) and I turned to my health providers to solve it.  We couldn't figure it out.  I decided to consult with an expert in the nutrition field.

I watched, "Thy Thyroid Secret" by Isabella Wentz to help find the person who might help me next.  Teri Cochrane's (nutritionist) patient seemed to talk about similar problems as mine namely extreme swelling and bloating besides super-sensitive allergies.  Because of her testimony I decided to visit with Teri Cochrane; she is the author of the new book "The Wildetarian Diet".  She had me do a 23andme genetic test and found I had (besides celiac genes) a gene that gave me problems breaking down sulfur, one that makes it difficult to break down fats,  one that made it difficult to break down pesticides and even my own hormones.  Those she calls "the big 3", so she put me on the most stringent diet that she recommends in order to try to re-balance my body and give it a break.  She also determined that I had chronic Epstein-Barr. I began late last summer and have had my weight go down to 165 lbs.  I feel so much better and my energy level is coming back although sporadic.  

Basically, I went back to the diet that I used when I had the allergy problems and I find the food very satisfying.  I also am using supplements and herbs to help fight the Epstein-Barr virus and help to heal my system.  I am profoundly impressed with the diet.  IF anyone has tried for a year or more and still is having difficulties, I highly recommend looking into the Wild Diet.

I am surprised that nobody replied to this. Is the diet also gluten-free? Can you tell us more about it?

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      I have Celiac, and just got diagnosed with ADHD as well, but the internet is not being helpful in researching which meds are safe for me or not. Does anyone know off the top of their heads which ones are safe?

      Glutensensitive? or something else?

      By trents · Posted

      Any testing for celiac disease done while on a gluten free or even a restricted gluten diet will not be valid. The blood antibody tests for celiac disease are designed to detect specific kinds of antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten ingestion so when you remove gluten or restrict it you eliminate or reduce the inflammation to the point where it's levels fall below what can be detected by the tests. You say you had been eating "some gluten" in the weeks leading up to the testing. Recent guidelines for the pretesting "gluten challenge" call for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. 10g is about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread and I would certainly give it more time than two weeks, say four, to be sure.  You may have NCGS or celiac disease but you may also have IBS as well or SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which are all more common among celiacs than in the general population.
