About Me

I am a retired minister enrolled in a Culinary Nutrition Expert Certification program. Upon completion, I look forward to helping others learn more about healing foods and how to include more of them in their lives.

    Molerey, I am very strict gluten free, so maybe that is why the complete gluten worked for me. Praying you find your answer. Chances are there is an additional irritant that likes to pal around with gluten that could be bothering you. Are you soy free? I found soy to give me the worst reaction of Gluten Dairy and soy.

    Hello, I have something called "Complete Gluten Digest". I assume my Wellness/ Functional Medicine Doctor produced it since it is included in the supplement's name. I will give you that contact information; you can decide if you want to contact them. They are in Lewisville, Tx (in the Dallas Area). She does online visits with her patients. I am not sure...

    Elizabeth, sorry but I accidentally posted a reply to Scott on your post. I wondered why it disappeared. 😂 he posted the same post to both of us.

    Soy will be my forever enemy. My reactions to Soy are immediate and worse than any gluten reaction I had before, when it comes to going to the bathroom. Dairy is interesting. I can eat Bluebell ice cream with no effects. But other brands cause the gas and bloating. I feel I can eat white cheese with no problem but not cheddar cheese. Casein is my issue...

    Thank you Scott. I am 11 years since diagnosis and going ultimately gluten-free. I will look this over possibly tomorrow. What I do know is that Soy .

    Nicole, Absolutely YES! I had pins and needles in my legs and feet, trouble sleeping, and I could barely walk, so I went to a Neurologist who tested me thoroughly, including running a Celiac blood test. They would not tell me anything about that blood test but said go see your doctor. I finally got a copy of my work-up, and at the same time, my husband...

    this is the best definition I have seen and how I understand it. Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms. It considers the interconnectedness of various bodily systems and how they affect health. Functional medicine practitioners often use a holistic...

    My Functional Medicine doctor is also a chiropractor and her office visits as well as her posture therapist ( physical therapy) visits were covered by my insurance. I did have to pay upfront and then submit my claim. Now that I am retired and on Medicare, I can’t process the claims anymore as she isn't registered as a Medicare provider. She did tell me t...

    Yes it did, because the liver labs improved, due to adjusted diet. That was 2017. I went to a specalist last year as a result of labs to have a liver scan and sonogram. Fortunately, although my score was 60% fat, I had NO scarring. I am working on reversing it by diet, which I did in 2017. Now I know what blood tests to follow to make sure it stays in check...

    Elizabeth, many people with Celiac also have dairy and soy issues. My Dairy issue is not lactose but Casein, the other protein in dairy. The way my husband and I figured out I had celiac was by researching the constant gas issues I was having. The interesting thing is that the issue was actually dairy. Anytime I would have dairy after going Gluten-Free, I...

    Scott, I was diagnosed on July 10, 2012, and have been strictly Gluten-free since July 11, 2012. I met Dr. Obrien at the Gluten Free event in Dallas the next year as well as a man, most likely a functional doctor from another Wellness facility, who said to me as he handed me his card, " When you get tired of going to doctors and not getting better, call me...
