Hi there Re reading my post I realise that I didn't fully explain my dental situation. Due to undiagnosed celiac disease for many years my teeth are in a terrible state. They literally crumbled away in my mouth. I lost one of my front teeth when it suddenly split in two vertically. I can't have implants because of bone loss so my dentist fitted...

Sorry. Forgot to include link to research connecting leaky gut and Covud 19 https://www.news-medical.net/news/20201118/Severe-COVID-19-complications-linked-to-gut-barrier-breakdown.aspx

Hi there Bit worried about an article I've just read in The Saturday Times. Apparently a leaky gut enables Covid 19 to infect the surface of the digestive track and internal organs. These are vunerable as their surfaces carry widespread ACE2 receptors, the portals that coronavirus uses to invade us. A quick search on the 'net backed up the article...

Hi there I used to make burgers for my catering business. Most burger seasonings have some form of gluten in them. If the burger label mentions seasoning then don't buy them.

Your post is very similar to my post yesterday. I lost 30 pounds in my first two months of being gluten free. Although it was nice being able to get into my old clothes I started to worry about how quickly I was losing weight. At this point I was still trying to eat what I thought was a healthy diet. Then I read a post by cycling lady. I changed my diet to...

Many thanks to all who have replied to my question and tried to help. Reading Christine's last post I think I am doomed. My case is so similar to hers. I have always had fine/thin hair like her and my hairdresser says the same sort of thing. I am trying biotin as a last ditch effort. It can't make things worse. One thing that strikes me is how...

P.S. Re staying away from mince pies etc, I am diabetic and have read all the research linking diabetes and dementia. And the link between sugar and cancer. And the fact that some of the top cancer specialists don't eat sugar. I now think of sugar as poison. So I find it quite easy to say no.

Hi Christina It's so easy to be wise after the event! I too have always had mysterious symptoms all my life. Fainting fits in my late teens and twenties, always bloated stomach, problems with balance all my life - I just assumed I was clumsy, very bad teeth etc etc. Just before my seizure I went through a very stressful time. I also started...

Thanks Trent, I was feeling bored today so you've given me something to do. I love research. Some of the articles I've already read have given me more food for thought. Re gluten ataxia. I originally had no gut problems ( apart from bloated stomach and terrible indigestion at night ) so I assumed that I had gluten axaxia. But since I diagnosed myself...

Trent I have cut out dairy but not fat. Actually I have increased my fat intake and decreased carbs as I am also type 2 diabetic. When I was eating more fiber I had really bad constipation - I never went more than once a week. Now I have cut down on fiber and increased my fat intake I have 2 to 3 bowel movement per week. Christine I have normal...

Thanks for your reply GFinDC. The doctor did check my b12 levels, it was 340 but I was taking b12 supplements. My sodium level was normal and my blood pressure is 126/75. I was amazed at this because I have always craved salt - I eat it neat like it was sugar. So I guess that my gut isn't absorbing salt like it should which is why I crave it. Makes...

Hi there, For as long as I can remember I have had trouble with bloating. If I’m going out in the evening I usually have to fast all day if I don’t want to look fat. In my late twenties my vision started getting bad. I had to wear glasses when I took my driving test. It got steadily worse until I couldn’t see anything clearly if it was over 10 fe...
