Coconut oil is a natural anti-fungal, anti-biotic, anti-viral. It's also a medium chain fatty acid, but for the life of me I can't remember why that's significant. :lol:

If I understand correctly, I belive that a medium chain fatty acid does not easily store as fat in your body.

I do not mind discussing dairy

I'm just as anti-dairy as you are (some other posters here can attest to that :ph34r:), but I do think that raw organic dairy is probably less harmful than processed dairy. I stay away from both versions though, and can't claim to be an expert on raw milk. I have done some research on it though, and the argument for it is quite compelling.

Mango,

I did a lot of research into dairy. I found the most compelling scientific arguement against dairy... I didn' tsave it to my favorites!! I will try to find it again. It may take awhile. I would tell you (with no proof right now) that no "milk" pulled from the mammary glands of another species should be given to a human being. Raw or homogenized. It is not meant for us to consume. I am sure of this- and not simply due to the "yuck factor". I am glad to know there are others out there who feel as I do about dairy. Unfortunately, we cannot make any "dairy" good for us other than our own mother's milk. Just like all living creatures who nurse, the time comes when we no longer require the milk of our mother's. I urge everyone to stop consuming all "dairy products".

I believe you, really I do :lol:, but I'd love to read your info. if you find it again. PM it to me if you ever get a chance, thanks :)

I'm not the person you were talking to, but here is some information about dairy.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By RonMc · Posted

      I use Dapsone for my dermatitis herpetiformis. Was not an issue in the beginning of diagnosis. Once I did the covid vaccine it changed and now I cannot stop using the medicine for more than 24 hours or it flares up with a vengeance. Then it takes just over two weeks for the med to get it back under control. My dermatologist was able to identify and treat it, fortunately for me I was her third patient with dermatitis herpetiformis to have a reaction post vaccine. Trial and error with other antibiotics and a ton of steroids prior to this med. Not cheap and can be problematic for liver and pancreas.

      Thanks, Knitty Kitty. No, I'm just taking B12...also a vitamin D3.  For gerd - Pantoprozole. Trents, thanks for the links. There's a lot to digest there (pun intended), I'll have to read those a few times to grasp.

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies.  I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG.  I hope you will share the results with us.  If your body isn't making a large amount of antibodies, then the intestinal damage would be less as well.  The antibodies attacking our own cells is what causes the damage. Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies besides the ferritin?  Several vitamins and minerals are needed to correct iron deficiency.  Have you been taking any vitamin supplements? Positive on the genes, I see.  Increases the likelihood...  Good job on ramping up on gluten for the test!

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By ellyelly · Posted

      Thanks so much for the link and for your thoughts! I have been on a gluten - containing diet and ramped up my intake in the couple of weeks leading up to the endoscopy, so I’m hopeful that the biopsy is painting an accurate picture.    I don’t quite understand what else might be causing the lymphocytosis and the inflammatory cells/ clusters of plasma cells and struggled to get clarity from the specialist. Perhaps this is common and nothing to be concerned about?!   In case relevant, my mother sister are both celiac, and I have the genes: HLA-DQA1*05:01 = Heterozygous HLA-DQB1*02:01 = Heterozygous Thanks again!

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ellyelly! How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy?  Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand.  This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels,  reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal).   If you weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten per day in a minimum of two weeks prior to the endoscopy, you may want to do another gluten challenge with repeat endoscopy. Here's an article that explains, be sure to read the comments.
