Are Pfizer's And Moderna's Covid Vaccine Really Safe?
Scott Adams replied to Misslee's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
And how many have died from either of these covid vaccines...zero? How many now have taken it...millions? No deaths have been reported. Quit fear mongering @marc9803 . You still haven't mentioned ANYTHING here about the number of deaths worldwide so far from covid-19, the number of deaths that will occur without anyone getting a vaccine for covid-19, or the... -
Good luck, let us know how things turn out!

Biopsy results waiting
Scott Adams replied to LisaTiants's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It would be worth sending an email, or calling your doctor to see if you can get the results sooner, especially if you are suffering on a gluten-free diet. It sounds like all your celiac screening is now completed (I assume you had a blood test before your biopsy), and if so, you should be able to go gluten-free, but I'd let you doctor know beforehand. -
Study linking IBS to zinc deficiency.
Scott Adams replied to Blue-Sky's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It is interesting for sure, and some past summaries we've done have shown that zinc deficiency is even more common than anemia: "67% of celiac patients showed zinc deficiency, 46% showed decreased iron storage, and 32% had anaemia." -
The important thing for you to know is that you should not go gluten-free at this point until you have the recommended biopsy. You need to keep eating gluten until all testing is finished. More and more doctors are diagnosing celiac disease by only using blood test results, although your results may not allow this, but you may want to discuss this with your...

The number I used, 20, was pulled out of thin air, but the idea is that @Sotorp will have a lower reading than if they were eating gluten daily until the testing was concluded. If the cut off for celiac disease was 10 on a test and they score 7, but were gluten-free for a time before the test, what exactly will that tell you? Many doctors would tell them...

Are Pfizer's And Moderna's Covid Vaccine Really Safe?
Scott Adams replied to Misslee's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This article nicely covers where things are with vaccine reactions, and concludes: “In general, the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the rare risks, experts say.” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/here-are-the-cdc-guidelines-for-allergic-reactions-to-covid-19-vaccines Millions have now been vaccinated, including my mother, and we are sim... -
The usual amount of time for an endoscopy would be two weeks of eating a slice of wheat bread each day, longer for blood tests:
-
If you want a definitive diagnosis you may want to postpone the endoscopy for a few weeks and keep eating gluten until it’s finished, otherwise you may not get a clear answer, although your blood tests results probably indicate gluten sensitivity at the very least, and possible celiac disease.
-
Is this an article or author biography, to me it seems like the latter, and doesn’t explain very much about their approach, other than this bit which I believe is misinformation: “few medical specialists are in fact aware of the actual inflammatory reactions which are caused by prolamins present even within cereals celiac patients are allowed to eat...

Unless your goal is weight loss you need to eat more according to how much you exercise.
-
Maybe, but such results might lead to a doctor telling you it’s not celiac disease “because you’re under 20,” which would be a false conclusion.

@Kate333 My vertigo symptoms included a spinning sensation, and the feeling that I was going down in an elevator when I wasn’t in an elevator, and the feeling like you get if your standing on the edge of a tall building looking down. This sometimes triggered panic attacks which made it far worse. These symptoms actually started as far back as when I...

As noted this article was originally published in 2008.

Also, I did not get a chance to read it but since it was deleted by the author I’d be very suspect of this “new” way to explain and/or cure food intolerance.
-
The link to the article no longer works and it appears that it was removed by the author, so I’m removing the link.
-
Technically speaking you risk false negative celiac disease results if you’ve been gluten-free in the weeks leading up to the tests. If your results are negative you could not rule out celiac disease, which, I presume, is one reason why you’re getting the tests in the first place.
-
I may have been too harsh, especially not knowing how the conversation went, but my thought here was that if you told them you’re gluten-free and doing fine, but they pushed you into a gluten challenge, that approach seems wrong to me. I would have told you that you’ve probably got gluten sensitivity and not pursued a celiac diagnosis unless that’s what ...

Are Pfizer's And Moderna's Covid Vaccine Really Safe?
Scott Adams replied to Misslee's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
@marc9803 your posts, unfortunately, are full of misinformation. As @RMJ has pointed out, there is no antifreeze in the covid-19 vaccine, so please stop spreading misinformation that is clearly designed to make people afraid of it. You say that "There's another group who simply said they are not stupid to take any of those first generation covid vaccines... -
Thank you for this recipe!

Actually vertigo is a symptom of celiac disease, and it is a symptom that I had before being diagnosed.
-
I do wonder if a gluten challenge for some people is worth the risks, especially in your case where it seemed that you had figured it out, and were happily gluten-free. Obviously I wasn't privy to your conversation, but asking a celiac, even a self-diagnosed one, to eat gluten for a month to prove that your self diagnosis is correct is just wrong. If...
-
If you have celiac disease and have been on a gluten-free diet for a while, probably at least a year, possibly two, and you still have ongoing gastro issues you should definitely consult with your doctor about it. I don't know why they would not want to pursue other possible issues. Keep in mind that during your recovery time you should also pursue other...

Safe Gluten-Free Food List (Safe Ingredients)
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Safe & Unsafe Foods & Ingredients
There is not gluten in any vaccines that I know of. As far as I know there would not be a reason to put gluten into any vaccine. -
01/01/2021 - It's winter, and that means maple syrup season is just finishing up in the maple growing regions of North America. That also means we get more than a few questions about maple syrup. Specifically, is maple syrup gluten-free...
