Buckwheat is great. I loved cream of wheat and the hot buckwheat cereal is so much like it. So good for much more than pillows. :D

The twist on your words were evident. Merlin's answer was very sarcastic. I appreciate good discussion, but when it gets reduced to defensiveness and sarcasm, it stops being productive.

Berneses had some very good points, too.

It seems that if we just give our bodies a break by staying away from things that hurt us and eating things and even drinking cleansing teas that help the body heal, it's our safest path. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves when we are not overloading them with toxins. I mean, if we cut our hand, we don't have to think about how the wound will heal ... so if take the toxic load off our bodies by avoiding the garbage we tend to feed them, we should heal to the point we are able. Someone made an excellent point about our livers and all other organs being designed to clean themselves ... it's our modern diet that is hurting them!

It's true about modern diets exacerbating elimination problems. Diet is one of the prime reasons for continual gallstone formation as modern diet is all animal protein such as meat, cheese, milk etc. People are not eating enough good fats like avocado and nuts(no no for celiacs?). Without good fats the gallbladder will not release enough bile to digest meals and this stagnation of bile will lead to stagnation of bile in the liver causing stones. If you think the liver produces at least a quart of bile a day then you can see how all that could get backed up and start congealing if there is not enough fat in the diet.

As for the sarcasm above, I've been quizzed with questions exactly like that since the start and it's gets tiresome when you have to repeat the same thing over and over. Also, apart from not appreciating the consequences of constant diarrhea, I have never trivialised Celiac disease and the consequences. I have only taken on such a tone when people try to use the same tone to discredit the liver flush. Many people here haven't exactly been saints. I know people say it is because of me proclaiming the liver flush will cure celiac but that is the topic that is open to debate and I admit that. We never even got past the validity issue regarding the actual flush itself.

Now, on the topic of odd cures for celiac and food intolerances, has anyone seen a naturopath who used magnetic resonance therapy to cure food intolerances? I've been treated 4 times at a cost of 25$ each and he wants me to continue. I don't think I will. Basically what it is is a machine called a biocom machine (engineered in Germany) which measures your bodies (organs) response to an offending allergen. He can test for virtually anything...msg, pet dander, food dies, preservatives, etc etc etc etc. Non invasive and very easy. He determined what I was allergic to and then proceeded to reverse the signal that my organs sent out thereby "canceling" it out and in effect curing me of these allergies. He says he can cure even peanut allergies, hay fever you name it...sometimes it takes years of treatments and people may need to come back yearly or semiannually for a "booster". I know it's a shot in the dark but I thought I would try it, I really had my doubts about curing the wheat and gluten but I do feel like my lactose intolerance is better since. I just wanted to know if anyone else had ever done it too.

There is no science behind this. You can't reprogram your cells not to react through magetism, and for sure that's not a nuclear magetic resonance machine he's got there. They cost millions and are designed to diagnose by imagiing. I could find no reference to this on the internet. Sorry.

The whole liver cleanse idea is bogus to me. I reply only to echo what others have said about PLEASE be careful & consult a trusted physician BEFORE attempting anything that adds laxative to laxative to laxative..."liver spams" "gallbladder spasms" ...???? The liver can't spasm. As some of you may remember, my gallbladder had to be removed not because of stones but because it functioned at 0%. This was determined ONLY by tests. What if I had dumped all of my liver's bile into that gallbladder that couldn't contract. And by the way, eventhough my gallbladder wouldn't contract, my liver function is excellent. This was also determined by my physician who was THOROUGH in his exam BEFORE HE made ANY recommendations. So, that's my advice...know the WHOLE story before you do anything that could cause serious complications.

That said. I will not post back to this thread. I will not be drawn into defending or arguing my position. Please friends, be careful.

      Thank you, I do feel the likelihood is high which is why I am reluctant to do a colonoscopy as I feel we will find the answer. Whatever the endoscopy says though and even if it were to be negative he will be going gluten free as the positive EMA has to mean something with symptoms and one parent coeliac.  But there is a niggling doubt as I try and make the right choice… I just want him to get better and be happy again! 
    • Scott Adams
      As the article mentions: EMA-IgA (endomysial antibodies IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) Blood Test for Celiac Disease: So the likelihood is very high he has celiac disease, and even if the biopsy results turn out negative, I would still consider a gluten-free diet.
    • Jy11
      Thank you. The borderline IgA deficiency  is something I was wondering. Basically my query comes about because he had been offered an endoscopy to check for coeliac but a colonoscopy to check for IBD. We are keen to go ahead with endoscopy but trying to decide on the colonoscopy and the likelihood of it being coeliac is what is aiding our decision. His inflammatory bloods are normal and so are stool tests. We basically are trying to decide the likelihood of being coeliac… If that likelihood is high then we are wondering whether or not to put him through the stress of the prep for the colonoscopy. Or see if the endoscopy confirms coeliac then decide after…  He has been eating gluten containing cereal plus toast… Then sandwich plus all snacks gluten! We are naturally a low gluten family as dad is coeliac. 
    • Scott Adams
      PS - I forgot to mention, was he eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks leading up to all blood tests? If not, this can cause lower than normal antibody results.
    • trents
      Thanks. Now it all makes sense. So, it looks like he may be IGA deficient or on the cusp of it. So, the reliability of the tTG-IGA testing is dubious. Being that the EMA is positive, my money would be on him having celiac disease, especially with the symptoms he is experiencing. The next logical diagnostic step would be to have an endoscopy/biopsy done of the small bowel lining to check for damage. Has the physician mentioned this? Sometimes they are reluctant to do this on children. Please hear this: Before you attempt to put him on a gluten-free diet or even cut back on his gluten intake, make sure you aren't planning any more testing for celiac disease. Removing gluten from his diet will sabotage any future testing. From the way you spell "coeliac" I'm guessing you are in the UK so I realize there may be stipends and follow-up healthcare benefits available to your son if there is an official diagnosis of celiac disease. But I also understand it can take many months to get a procedure in place with the backlog in your healthcare system.
