I have had issues with food for as long as I can remember. But the fear is the worst. I too have had nightmares about gluten. Dang it....your dreams should be where you can pig out on pizza and donuts......LOL

I tried NAET about 10 years ago. It did absolutely nothing for me. Nothing. I did 12 treatments and then threw in the towel. It was just too darned expensive for me at the time.

Oh..here is the company.

A colonic is only water Shay! A lot of water granted, but only water. The idea is to 'wash out' the inside of the colon and get rid of putrefactive and compacted matter along with any parasites and unwanted bacteria. A good colonicist should usually give you a good dose of probiotic cultures to repopulate the bowel. I've heard some good things about it but never tried it.

We have a well know colonics place here run by a woman named Billie Odor. I dont lie.

I also wonder whether fasting could help to sort the gut out. It was practiced a lot back in Bible times but few seem to do it these days. Never fancied doing it myself and with the Diabetes it might be difficult, but thinking logically it might just starve the little beasties out (and me too!).

This interests me as well. But I worry about my blood sugar and the fact I hate being hungry. Woke up last night at 3 am hungry. I basically just started SCD, so I think my body misses all of those carbs.

I think the fungal things have improved a bit as I am no longer getting the itchy, greasy scalp and for the first time in my life now only need to wash my hair once or twice a week rather than every other day.

I had greasy scalp too and flaky in some areas like around the edge of my hairline. And it completely went away when I got my Thyroid meds to a good dose. Thyroid also got rid of this strange like 2 inch square patch of hair that was as kinky as pubic hair on top of my head. My hairdresser just didnt know what to do with it as the rest of my hair has a nice slight wave.

I just ordered these probiotics. I ordered the 6 strain 50 gram powder. They are pricey. I found them while looking for a non-dairy yogurt starter. I am going to make coconut and almond milk yogurt. Someone online had a blog and really touted the yogurt culture as working well and tasting good, so I found them and discovered they make pro-biotics too. And I called and spoke to the owner of the company. These are pure human strain bacteria. None of that weird soil based organism stuff or bacteria cultured from odd places where humans would never get bacteria anyway. No fillers. No gluten. No dairy.

I was going to buy their yogurt maker, but found it 20.00 cheaper on Amazon.

***I will report back Ali!!

I have personally never done a liver flush (they scare me) or a colonic (I dunno....seems that my adhesions that make my intestines into a woven basket that sticking something up there and digging around isnt such a good idea) ......But that is just me.

We ALL have genes that can have negative health consequences (if triggered). Unless there is a perfect family out there that has never had a single disease all the way back through generation after generation where everyone just dies of old age by taking a nap at 90 and never wakes up....

If I knew I had some weird gene that could make my child be born without a functioning brain, or with some horrific disease, then I might consider adoption. But Celiac is treatable anyway. So even if your child has the genes, gets triggered and gets dx celiac.....you know the cure.

If your doctor will do that...then great! Most wont with a neg blood test. But in NEVER hurts to ask.

I have become my own doctor. My physician is just an adjunct to my own care of myself.

And Enterolab tests more than genetics. They test fecal for antibodies to gluten/egg/soy/dairy.

You can contact Enerolab directly. I did the genetic tests about 4 months ago.

I tell my family that I have the genes for gluten sensitivity and that my doctor recommended gluten-free diet. I did Enterolab on my own. I just have a supportive doctor. But my family dont personally speak with my physician. I could tell them whatever I want to make them understand. I am not going to photocopy my records to show my family just so they believe me.

Ask your doctor for a copy of ALL of your lab records. It is your legal right. Then come back in here and let us know what they tested.

Have you eaten tomatoes recently? Several people I know have had the same symptoms as you recently, including myself. I have a feeling it's related to the salmonella outbreak somehow. I thought I was having a food reaction but it lasted for days and wasn't fixed by diet.

I have been having bloating and D for a few days myself and I know I was not CC. I made cilantro dressing and ate it for a few days. They are now thinking the Salmonella could be tomatoes, cilantro and other ingredients in salsas too. I am wondering.......

After watching a report years ago about all of the nasty bacteria and fungus that grows on leftovers in the fridge (and the amount of nasties is just staggering), I simply will not eat anything past the 24-36 hour mark. My husband laughs about it. But I wont touch it if it has been in there longer than a day or so.

If your food isnt getting absorbed then your body is still hungry. This is why.

I like peppermint tea as well for this sort of thing.

Welcome!

Did you get your iron/Ferritin checked? Runners often become anemic.

Did they test total IgA to see if you were deficient (and if you are) therefore making the Celiac panel useless???

You would need IgG testing then.

You could still have Celiac with a negative blood test. There are many who have neg. blood/pos. biopsy and visa versa. But you will need to STAY ON GLUTEN for the biopsy to be accurate (and even then it can be patchy damage and they might not catch it).

You could also just be gluten intolerant.

Either way, the cure is the same: A strict Gluten Free diet

You can push for a biopsy and see if your villa are damaged.

You can pay Enterolab for genetic testing and stool testing.

You can just do the diet and see.

It depends on whether you a. want to get well no matter what or b. need an official diagnosis to make you comply to the diet.

I believe that can indicate liver problems. You should talk to his pediatrician right away.

Have you been overly stressed lately? Your adrenals could be tired. If you google "adrenal fatigue" you can see if this sounds like you.

I honestly dont miss all of that stuff. I am lucky.

I dont cheat.

Oh Geez...

You really need tests first because you can make it worse if you take things for thyroid without addressing a low adrenal state. Yes to a nauropath!! They can help you with both thyroid and adrenal. Dont delay!!

Girl!!! Get your thyroid tested right away!!!! And dont settle for a "normal" on the TSH if it is above "2". Most do best with it under "1" and some (like me) need my TSH fully suppressed to not have your symptoms.

If your doc. will not listen or order Thyroid panel, order it yourself at Healthcheck or directlabs.

And if you test hypothryoid, I recommend Armour natural. But by all means, get yourself out of hypo state even if you have to take Synthroid.

You can PM me if you need more information about Thyroid.

I figured it out though...so what does that say about me.

I think I am going to try that sweets, scotch, & butter diet.

Sign me up too!!

Yes, you need the IgG testing for antigliaden and TtG. I had those done as part of a complete celiac panel.

Thanks CeeCee!!

Either Celiac or Gluten Intolerance can cause deficiencies.

Blood tests are notoriously inaccurate. And biopsy is too because damage can be "patchy" and if they do not take a sample from a damaged spot, it will look negative.

Having a family history and a celiac gene doesnt mean you have celiac. But if you have symptoms and a pos. with Enterolab, then I suggest trying the gluten-free diet.

The best way to know is by trying the diet. If you eliminate gluten and your symptoms improve or go away, then you have your Dx.

Thanks everyone. I am going to try the boil for 2 minutes and let sit turned off for (whatever amount of time they recommend) next time. I just bought fusili. Will see!!

I agree that we are all individual. Not long ago I saw an interview of a man in his 90's who said the secret to his longevity and good health was lots of sweets, butter and good scotch.....LOL That diet would kill me.
