Detoxification

I met some lady with celiac disease the other day and she was surprised when I told her I didn't do anything special for detoxification when I found out I had celiac disease (I just stopped eating gluten). I'm not sure what else she did, but she mentioned that she just recently went for blood tests at an aruvetic (not sure what the actual word is) practitioner, and after 9 months she could still see gluten in her bloodstream. If you stop eating it though, shouldn't it be out of your bloodstream without doing anything additional?

What does anyone else think about this?

I don't know about seeing gluten in the bloodstream directly - maybe her words for something else. But my impression is that she might have been getting some gluten unknowingly. If so then she still could be.

I didn't do any detox-specific stuff, but I would hope eating healthily will enable your body to move stuff along as best as may be expected under the circumstances. Be sure to get your daily magnesium, iron, Vitamin C, calcium, etc. Those and a few others come to mind as typical deficiencies, and don't overlook B12. I'd recommend a daily sublingual supplement of that in the methylcobalamin form.

When I looked into detox stuff, I found that it seems to also purge vital nutrients from your system. Minerals appear to be particularly vulnerable to detox products. I figured that wasn't exactly what I needed!

she was talking about ayervedic medicine - which is grounded in tantric philosophy and is part of yoga practice. Ayervedic medicine "types" your body and determines according to an extensive analysis of skin type, body shape,personality trait, etc. what foods are postiive for your system and which are regressive. I don't follow it, but do know it has some merits (ayervedic practices have been around for hundreds of years). I don't quite know how it would apply to celiac & detox b/c all the body types can have grains that contain gluten, but some more than others...however, that is where she was coming from...

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
