    Thanks for the linked article, Naturechick. It's totally correct in it's premise that we normally consider wine 'unprocessed' and elemental. For those of us in the world who are trying to be mindful of what we are putting into our bodies aside from just gluten (and mindful of what effect massive production/agricultural processes are doing to the ecosystems...

    I'm wondering if there is an issue with lower levels of cross contamination of the nut flours you are using. They could be certified at 20 ppm but perhaps they contain lower levels of gluten. When you remarked that you had been recently tested for ttg iga (?) levels, it showed you were fine. Did that mean your numbers are decreasing and you are now...

    You're welcome, Gladgirl. When do you go in for your next MRI? I also have a brain tumour in the pituitary/optic chiasm called a craniopharyngioma. Slow growing. At this point they don't want to operate as the symptoms are far more preferable to the excision. Kamma

    Hi Christiana Gluten Ataxia only shows up in some people's MRI as shrinkage of the cerebellum region in the brain. I say some people because if the ataxia is caught soon enough, there is no shrinkage of the cerebellum. I'm not sure if there is a different set of protocols that Neuroimagers use in setting up the MRI for suspected different diseases...

    Jonvon, Check out this site for information / research papers of Dr. Marios Hadjivassilliou, a U.K. neurologist and the leading expert on Gluten Ataxia. Open Original Shared Link After being diagnosed with gluten ataxia a few years ago, my vertigo took months to resolve on a strict gluten free diet (i.e. I don't eat any 'gluten free' products at...

    That's the beauty of reading of others shared experiences: you are encouraged that there is a light at the end of the tunnel or it gives you ideas to try. I'm a little shy of saying to people, you have this or that as it could be totally off base but it helps to figure out a possible path to pursue medically. Check out the symptoms for meneire's disease...

    Here's a list of the food triggers. Some affect people while others don't. You have to do an elimination rotation and introduce them back one at a time to see if they are a trigger for you. Cheeses that are aged or ripened (such as Blue cheeses, Cheddar, Gouda, Brie, Parmesan, Romano, Gruyere) Alcohol, especially red wine or beer Chocolate, cocoa...

    I was diagnosed with a couple of labels and went through a year of testing with different specialists before they decided on MAV. I don't have migraines so when they came up with that, I was like, waaaahhhht??? But they explained to me that you can have migraines without feeling them which seems ass backward to me. I also have tulio's syndrome which is...

    Migraine Associated Vertigo. I was diagnosed with it around the same time I was diagnosed with gluten ataxia. The rocking is horrible isn't it? There's a whole forum dedicated to it at the name mentioned above and you can access some good reading and research there. Basically, there's two ways of treating it and neither are 100%. Some choose the...

    Hello mdohtnla It is frustrating and not just a little frightening to have something wrong with you and take a battery of tests to have them come back negative when all you want is a diagnose and a plan of action to get better. One thing you might want to investigate further is Gluten Ataxia as some of the symptoms you described closely fit with it such...

    Thank you for the update, Gatita although it isn't as good of news as you probably hoped for. I'm sorry about that and yes, it's hard to see someone disintegrate in front of your eyes. Your heart gets wrenched around and you want to do as much as possible to bring them back to health. Your brother is fortunate to have a sister such as you. Remember...

    Morning, coil. Have you ever had what is called vestibular testing? This usually involves an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialist and one of the tests is to pour water in your ear and measurement of your eye movements (nystagmus) in response to it. If the testing was abnormal, then it would show the problem to be your vestibular system in your ears...

    Morning, Designer Stubble... Tissue Transglutaminase (ttg) is actually an enzyme contained in your body that cross links with the gluten proteins in wheat, rye and barley stimulating the immune system to respond with B Cells (White Blood Cells) to produce the Anti transglutaminase antibodies IgA and IgG to go on the attack. I'm reading your results...

    The laws in Australia require that for a product to be labelled gluten free, it must contain no detectable gluten and the current standards test down to 3 ppm not 8 ppm. Products that test above that and up to 20 ppm can be labelled 'low gluten'. Gemini, I find dilettantesteph's posts to be very informing and she provides her experience which can be...
