I tried juicing this morning for the first time and am so glad i did! It had apple, cucumber, celery, carrot, beetroot and ginger and was the best tasting drink I've had in a long time. I was wondering if it might not be better for me to get my veggies/fruit this way as my guts seem to hate dealing with high fibre - whole veggies. Also I've been peeing like a loon, so I guess it is also good for flushing out toxins - which I've had a big problem with recently. Then perhaps I can stop worrying about adding in vitamins/minerals too, as the juice has them all? Have to say that I feel very bouncy! And the herb mix I'm on seems to be making me feel better and better day on day.... Thanks to those in the thread last time who said that things will get better... now I am starting to see it.

I've never tried juicing, but it seems like a good way to get nutrients into your body? It seems like you can add all sorts of things to boost the vitamins?

I'm so glad that you feel like like you're starting to turn the corner and feeling better! :D

Glad to hear you are doing better Caroline! You so deserve to be feeling better, so I am glad something is working for you.

It makes me wonder if my friend Graeme should try juicing things again. His intestines are so sore from taking a lot of grapefruit seed extract and uva ursi recently to counteract a bladder infection. I think he had both items a bit too much since he had intestinal bacteria that his doc got rid of by using those very same herbs this last Fall and Summer. I took him off them when I realized what was happening, and the new herbs really helped.

He got over the infection but now can hardly eat anything without severe pain due to gut inflammation. Right now I have him off chicken. Instead he's sipping watered down goats milk yogurt with a little slippery elm. It seems like its all he can manage, except for the occasional avocado--all soft, non fibrous foods. Even cooked celery and sweet potato was too much for him. Any suggestions??

I think too he may have the beginnings of RA--like his mother had. He's been having a lot of inflammation with weakness and difficulty walking. Even his skin seems slightly reddened and apparently is sensitive. He sees his naturopath in another week. He is mostly Welsh with some English. Are these kinds of conditions common there?? My feeling is that the English typically have very sensitive digestion.

Right now I am doing way better. I discovered I am amine intolerant as well as salicylate intolerant. Eating the sauerkraut, gluten-free miso and extra fermented yogurt was way the wrong thing for me. However by doing so it pointed out what really was going on. By avoiding amines I am actually starting to sleep soundly. Its hard to believe! The last four days I have been able to go to sleep an hour earlier--and I am starting to feel more refreshed in the morning--a first for me.

Maybe its Spring, but the world seems more possible. Am so very glad for both of us!! Keep up the good work Caroline! I'll be sure to suggest juicing to Graeme.

I love juicing! :D I think it's an amazing way to get fruits and veggies into our systems. I'm about to make a big green juice for lunch. Super yummy!!!

Oh dear, poor poor Graeme. Juicing might be the way forward but I would go with the softest most soothing of vegetables like cucumber and well cooked beetroot (not in vinegar!). Keep away from the acidic stuff like lemons/toms etc. Has he tried warm well cooked white rice with butter. I find that works really well if my gut feels very sore. Gut inflammation is just awful. I would say stop taking everything vit/herb/bacteria wise until everything calms down. Just soft white rice, or perhaps potato if he can tolerate solanaceae. Perhaps also some warm soup. You said you took him off chicken. What about bone broth? He is so lucky to have a friend like you!!! It should take just a few days to calm down, then he can start adding things back in. He won't be missing too much nutrition in a few days and can catch up later.

Sorry to be dense Bea but what is RA - Rheumatoid Arthritis? Shall I look up in my books to see what they say? Once he is settled then he can go back to the fermented foods. I think in the short term as there is quite a bit of acid in fermented yoghurt it may be hurting him more than helping him. cutting back and adding in might be the way to go here.

On a great note I had a test exam and a presentation to give last week. I got 80% in the exam (anatomy and physiology) and a high 2:1, which would be about 69% for the presentation (with two other ladies). So am feeling quite chipper about that. We did the presentation on the first day of spring! We are out planting in the garden. Clipped our dog Pippo today too and have done a raft of other things. You are right about the spring.

On not so great a note I asked my husband to take an autism quotient test today and he came out with a lower score than me... however, I know for sure he has aspergers. He is just too well adapted to doing a test like this honestly! Somehow I need to get him to see a specialist who can diagnose him properly. I expect he will go to the grave before he does something like that!

Hugs to everyone who responded on this. Long live Juicing!

Oh how I wish I could try juicing :( But I can't really have fruit and definitely not juiced fruit because it spikes my sugar and I end up with heartburn and throwing up when my sugar is high from that.

Poor you Alex. Hopefully one day. Can you not do veggie juicing instead?

I'm not sure how just veggies would taste...other then that I may be able to get away with just veggies. Pretty much everything I have found on juicing puts fruits and veggies together.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By More2Learn · Posted

      Thanks, yes, I've gone back and forth.  There is a lot of autoimmune disease in my family, so primarily I was thinking a real diagnosis might be helpful for other family members -- especially as I have two young biological nephews.  I feel like I am at a crossroads, where if I'm going to test now would be the time, since I've been in a less-than-perfect eating period.  I'm either going to just going to use what I've learned in these last few months to purposely never cheat again (obviously there is the accidental glutening situations) or test first, and then do that.  I don't need an official diagnosis so much that if I'm doing well I'm going to sabotage that by then starting to eat gluten again. I'm so glad you said this.  Even from what I've read so far, it makes sense to me that this is a misconception.  But growing up with all kinds of allergies, I can see how, as for the general population it's just easier for everyone to simplify it down to a type of "allergy," people would assume this.  It's just how most people look at allergies and diets and gluten avoidance has been painted as both.  I even see it in my journey to date, when I say I want a gluten free selection at a restaurant and I am asked "is it an allergy?" and it is so much easier just to say yes (even if the answer is actually well, no, it's autoimmune).  Because the "yes" answer is the "this is serious" answer.

      By kopiq · Posted

      Hi all, I was diagnosed by blood work about 2 months ago and have since went on a strict gluten free diet. I have an endoscopy in January and the GI dr said nothing about staying on gluten for it; hes aware i went no gluten. starting to heal symptoms include: (this is huge) sensation coming back to genitals and when having a bowl movement. everything has been numb for a long time down there including lower belly button area. good size (not abnormal) bowel movements once a day or every two days. small dot size wart just fell off my finger that was there for years. have not broke out with a cold sore this winter (every winter prior for years i would develop a cold sore on my lip) Ongoing issues I don't sweat. not from my hands, or armpits or feet. I do not get butterflys in stomach. my hands have been so dry for years ive been using a crack cream as they crack and bleed very severely in the fall and winter.  (since going gluten free ive not used crack cream but they are still very very dry and chapped/flaky, no sweat or moisture in palms of hands at all. I dont crave food. i have no cravings at all, not for pizza, ice cream , nothing. my cravings are dead. smell of foods kinda make me hungry, but my stomach blocks it. pins needles in feet get weak legs standing up from sitting and dizzy, things almost turn black. i cannot tolerate veggies or vitamins. Iam vitamin D deficient according to my Dr and Ive tried vitamin D pills. they give me a massive migraine for 8 hours and upset my stomach. the heat from the direct sun make me extremely tired to the point of wanting to pass out. again i don't sweat. broccoli gives me a migraine headache as well. mushrooms, bell peppers burn my stomach. fruits burn my stomach, fats (peanut butter, any oil or fat from meats make me sick to my stomach for a couple hours or longer. salt and pepper burns my stomach. all these issues cause pain at my belly button area and expand to the rest of my upper stomach and sides the more i ingest through out the day. I currently eat bland basmati rice, chicken, pork chops (fat trim), boiled russet potatoes no skin for three meals a day. my snacks are gluten free ground buckwheat flour pancakes. (just water, no oil , salt, dairy.) how am i to get vitamins in my system if i cannot tolerate them in my stomach? i mentioned epidermal vitamin patchs but dr said no. why cant i stand the heat from the sun ? why cant i sweat? thanks for any info.

      Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result in false negatives in other IGA tests. The tTG-IGA is the single most popular test ordered by physicians. The Quest test is not a complete celiac panel by any means (refer to the linked article above) but it might be a good place to start. Personally, I think you know enough to conclude that you need to get serious about avoiding gluten, whether you have celiac disease or NCGS. Human nature being what it is, however, many people seem to need an official diagnosis of celiac disease in order to stay on the bandwagon. Otherwise, they seem to rationalize cheating on the gluten-free diet. And there is this misconception out there that NCGS is inconvenient and uncomfortable but not harmful so it's okay to cheat. The more we learn about gluten-related disorders the more they seem to not fit into our neat little black and white categories. By the way, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder.

      These responses are all extremely helpful, ty.  Really good reminder about omega 6.  I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it.  To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters.  I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test.  Two questions: 1-  Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend that I just buy and take a test like this as a first step? 2- I've been somewhat gluten free since ~Jan 2023 (technically organic, gluten free, soy free, light on dairy).  I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, rice -- a common breakfast for me is three eggs and a sausage link, and I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich or bread.  However, because in my mind I didn't think I had an allergy, and I more was doing gluten free to avoid artificially iron-enriched foods, I do make exceptions.  I'll eat breaded calamari.  When my Dad visits, I split mozzarella sticks with him because he loves them so much.  I'll eat the "gluten sensitive" items at a restaurant and if they asked, "is cross contamination ok?",  I always said yes.  Based on that, since I never probably fully eliminated gluten, but it was significantly reduced... is that good enough to take the blood test?  Because the pain in my side gets SO bad (really sometimes I can't function, and I absolutely thought I was dying), I am hesitant to do the gluten challenge.  Would it make sense to take the test, and if it's negative, then consider doing the challenge and seeing if I can deal with eating the bread every day? Thanks again!
