Hi everybody. I ran into an article, and immediately thought of this board, so here I am to post a link. I hope I don't have Crohn's Disease anyway, but if this where the only way to treat it, ugh!

Again, this isn't for anyone who is grossed out easily, nor if you're currently enjoying a meal.

Umm, yeah, I've read about that already, and it's pretty gross. I hope, for your sake, you don't have Crohn's and won't have to try it! :wacko:

So whay does it work? Do the worms feed on the gluten?

I don't know where it was, but I read a much larger article on that . . . they don't actually give you the worms . . they give you the eggs. They eggs have some effect on the gut that they reduce the inflammation. I can't remember where I saw it -- I know it was on the web, but it was the entire study. It actually made sense. You purchase the eggs, keep them refrigerated, and take them, I believe, as a capsule. They don't "hatch" in your digestive system, so you don't end up having the actual worms in your system -- the eggs simply do their thing and reduce the inflammation -- it's just I can't remember what "their thing" was. At one point, I was talking with my neurologist about trying this.

Yes, I remember an article about that--I think it was Karen (?) who posted it a while back. Lynne, it dosen't sound exactly like the one you describe, but I found it--

Hey Patti . . . . went to that thread, then the site -- No, that wasn't it . . . I actually went to a site where you could purchase the things . . . they described in detail how they sterilize them (I think three times . . not sure . . . ), how they're packaged, etc. There's an entire site devoted to the information and purchase. It's kind of cool, really, that it can remove that much intestinal inflammation.

FOUND IT!!!!! www.ovamed.de -- that will get you to their home site -- you can read from there . . ..

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
