    Oldturtle, yes, I have to say, the evidence iS strong. Not once in all my time in China did I experience a gluten reaction. There were no ‘accidents’ —except when eating products from the west. For example, my students and fellow teachers and friends lived to receive chocolate bars as gifts from home so I would bring a box, and if I succumbed to the t...

    Nice article! Thanks.

    Oldturtle, that makes perfect sense about the antibodies. I was thinking it applied to my situation and it does but there’s another factor to consider. Long story but important to read. I was never diagnosed per se, but at the time my doctor gave me the original test —I think it’s called tTg—the numbers had to be above 20 to suggest a biopsy and if ...

    These look exactly like bedbugs as someone has already mentioned. I got them often in China. I got so familiar with them. I knew when I picked one up on a bus or when shopping, as the bite became very familiar. I’d go home and immediately put everything I was wearing into the washer and take a shower. It worked. Before I learned to do that, I would h...

    hi All, I had been getting so gradually sick that I don't know when it started, (but I am now assuming 1994). In 2008, I succumbed to pressure from my insurance rep to get more insurance, and they would even come to my house to test my blood. I was denied insurance and recommended to see my doctor, who told me I had the liver of a severe alcoholic...

    Also, I did get dh later. It disappeared after I gave up dairy, which apparently is quite molecularly similar to gluten.

    I never got the test because I didn't want to deliberately eat gluten....Until...on a mad whim I had decided to eat a bun after a year off gluten, and got so sick--and because a week after eating it I was still experiencing symptoms from the one bun, decided I would go get the test. It was a tTg test and even though it was one full week after I had one...

    I went off gluten, and the dh didn't go away but got gradually worse. Then I went off dairy completely and the dh cleared right up. It hasn't come back, and I've heard that dairy is not much different from gluten on the molecular level, so the immune system is just being overly protective I guess. After a year I re-introduced dairy gradually and the dh...
