Hi,

A friend sent me this link Open Original Shared Link . Has anyone here heard of it or tried it?

New to this topic/forum - Has anyone tried the breads or flours? What about making your own from ingredients at an ethnic grocer? Some of the ingredients sound pretty unusual, but I imagine I can find them here in Los Angeles.

Thanks!

Merika

No--I haven't used that site and I've never heard it mentioned here. Some commonly used sites include:

I guess this has been UN-cross-posted, but the site is not just a place to buy food. It is an entire theory about how to rid oneself of allergies AND heal the body. It's not celiac-specific, but much of it falls into that category. This is why I wanted it cross-posted in the "Recovery" section.

From the home page it says "The SF Comprehensive Intervention Program is for individuals with chronic diseases, conditions, disorders and symptoms, including:

Leaky gut, malabsorption problems, digestive disorders, irritable bowel, diverticulitis [and more]" and "The SF Comprehensive Intervention Program combines a highly effective dietary intervention program and a highly effective environmental avoidance program with direct and intense counseling. The program acheives dramatic, abrupt symptom reductions, and maintains them. The program then guides you through diet expansion and to a complete eventual recovery."

Clearly, it won't get rid of celiac, but theoretically it might get rid of leftover symptoms and problems from the celiac. I also have multiple food allergies from celiac, and this diet would apparently work for that issue too.

Hi celiac3270 - yes, thanks, I know all the sites you mention. But they're just food suppliers of gluten-free foods. This other site is a whole 'nother animal :) Check it out, tell me what you think.

A moderator had the second post removed because the board rules do not allow for duplicate posts under various sections. The topic can be moved, though. If you have other questions not related to food and would like it under the post-diagnosis section, I could move it for you....

I see what you mean--that site, besides selling foods, goes into a lot related to food -- weight gain, stomach aches, etc. I see what you mean. I just wasn't sure if you knew about the other sites....

Hi celiac3270,

Yes, that would be great - move it to post-diagnosis :) I think I'll get better answers there. I can understand not wanting cross posts. Would it be ok if I posted a new question here in gluten-free Foods to find out about the taste of the products?

Thanks,

Merika

Sure--I'll move it. And "sure" to your second question :) -- the whole point of that rule was just so that someone wouldn't post the same question in every forum to try to get many replies. But if you have another question, feel free to post it. I'll move this one.

      Enegy level extremely low

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Test Results

      Oh, yes. When you reply with the reference ranges, please also add the units used such as mg/L or whatever. Different labs will used different units of measure just as they will deploy different reference ranges.

      Test Results

      Welcome to the forum, @breadbreadbaby! We cannot comment on your test numbers until you also provide the reference ranges used by the lab doing the analysis. Different labs construct the test analysis differently and used different reference ranges, Hence, there are no industry standards. You will likely have to repost the existing information in a new post as I don't think you will be able to edit your original. These two tests are the only ones that are celiac specific for which we need the reference ranges:  IgA - .98 Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4  Urate and ferritin are not specific tests for celiac disease. Urate is a test for uric acid levels and would be something run when gout is suspected. Ferritin is an iron storage protein. Though not a celiac specific test, iron stores are often depleted in those with long term celiac disease because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel by celiac disease. The small bowel is the portion of the intestinal track where all of the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed, including minerals like iron and the vitamins necessary to assimilate iron like B12. Many celiacs have few if any GI symptoms. This is common. We call them "silent celiacs". I was one of them. Silent celiacs are usually discovered indirectly because they develop health issues or irregular lab values indicative of vitamin and mineral malabsorption. In my case, it was elevated liver enzymes which had no other explanation. It took 13 years for me to get that figured out after the first appearance of elevated liver enzymes. By that time, I had experience significant bone demineralization.
