Strange Email From Gi

Well I ahve already posted that my older daughter alivia tested + for celiac also. But the GI dr ran some more blood work and i emailed him the results and if they were ok. He said that her wbc are slightly decreased (her celiac screening they were also decreased in aug) and her allergy cells wre very high. And he then said the results of the biopsy should be interesting? I emailed him back asking what that means but have not heard back yet. We are still waitinf for the biopsy appt to be scheduled.

Happy Birthday Alivia!

I can't offer anything regarding results, but I do have to say that I think it is incredible that a GI makes himself available through e-mail - I would love that!

Hugs.

Although I do not have an understanding of the tests (numbers), I would think he would mean that the biopsy results will be "interesting" in that it will possible help determine a diagnosis. My daughter's blood test results were not high enough to alone conclusively diagnose Celiac, nor was the biopsy result alone, but as explained to me, together led them to a positive diagnosis. Hope this helps.

Has Alivia started the gluten-free diet yet? I'm not a big fan of the biopsy, and with the blood tests being positive and her sister having it, the odds are certainly in her favor that she has it, personally I wouldn't go through with the biopsy and just get on with getting her on the diet. (but that's just me).

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Alivia!

Happy birthday to you!

Ditto on a GI who's available via email.....WOW! Not sure what that means either..wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

Maybe he meant that he's interested to see what the results are. Which would make sense because why would anyone run a test if they didn't care about the result.

Happy Birthday, Alivia!

      Reishi and cordyceps are immune modulators, they stop you reacting so much/producing antibodies to lectins. Uptake is better when taken as a tincture, you can buy it pre made as a tincture, usually vodka based, or make your own which is much cheaper. You can find instructions online, basically powdered mushrooms soaked in strong alcohol for a month, shaking regularly. Then the strained mushrooms are heated gently in water for 8 hours, strained again and the water then combined with the first alcohol extract. Some of the properties are water soluble, others require alcohol for extraction. It’s also prescribed for fatigue which is a side effect I’m happy to put up with.

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.

      Corn Gluten vs. Wheat Gluten: Corn gluten (zein) is different from wheat gluten (gliadin), but both are types of gluten.  Inflammatory Response: Some celiac patients have shown an inflammatory response after consuming corn.  Cross-Reactivity: Corn can mimic gluten in sensitive individuals, potentially triggering immune responses similar to those caused by gluten.  Individual Sensitivity: Many individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance find that they can't tolerate corn gluten, even though they avoid wheat, barley, and rye.  Nonresponsive Celiac: Some individuals with celiac disease don't respond well to a gluten-free diet, and this may be due to gluten contamination or other factors, including reactions to corn gluten.  Corn Derivatives: Even processed corn products like high-fructose corn syrup or corn oil may cause issues in sensitive individuals.

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey! It’s great that you’re exploring ferments like kefir—they can be a wonderful support for gut health, especially when navigating celiac or gluten sensitivity. Kefir is rich in probiotics, and many people find it soothing during gut healing. It’s great that you’re already thinking about making sauerkraut and kimchi too—those are fantastic next steps! And that’s incredibly generous of you to offer kefir grains; I’m sure there are folks in NYC who would love to start their own batch. Keep sharing and exploring—you’re off to a great start!
