    Thank you! I am going to go read the post you provided. ?

    I am sorry you had such a rough time, but it is reassuring to hear that things can get better and balance out again. I am almost 5’9” and when I graduated high school I was lucky to be 110 pounds. I remember going to my family doc and begged for something to gain weight. Back then, I was made fun of for being so small. I ate anything and everything and...

    Wow - it just blows my mind to think this is something we’ve all had struggles with since childhood and never knew. I remember being slightly anxious as a child and was a nail biter. Was told it was a bad habit. I have learned it is partly due to gluten. When I eat large quantities of it, I feel the urge to pick at my nails. Being so thin that people t...

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I do have the energy to jog again. It’s hard now that I am so much heavier. If I start trying again, does this just add more inflammation or would it actually be good for my body? I don’t want to cause more issues. I will definitely look into the autoimmune paleo diet. Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much for this feedback. I was not aware that it would take 6 months to a year to feel better. I personally would rather not have an official diagnoses. I never thought about insurance ramifications. Knowing my brother has it and I am showing signs of some autoimmunity, but yet to be diagnosed, I think removing gluten and maybe all grain would...

    Have your neurological symptoms improved by going gluten free?

    I should add that my Integrative doctor recently provided me with a lab slip to have my HLADQ2 and HLA DQ8 genes tested. She said that if I tested positive, I should remove gluten from my diet forever even if I were not symptomatic. However, I called my insurance and they will not pay for the test as it is considered exploratory. They quoted me around $...

    I had 3 of those tests done, the anti-Gliadin antibodies, anti-tissue transglutaminase, and total serum iga. I was told all was okay. I am trying to get copies of the bloodwork and I can share my numbers. I did go gluten free for 2 months, but did not see much change. I was also dairy free, as well. It’s possible that I did not give it enough t...

    I do know autoimmune disease runs rampant on my moms due of the family. She has diabetes and now psoriasis, something with her thyroid and really bad arthritis. Her sister was a type 1 diabetic and died when she was 47. My cousin died while on a jog at age 48. No one has lived past 72 on her side of the family. No one except my brother and I believe...

    Thank you so much. No doctor would refer me to a gastro doctor, so I made an appointment myself without referral. I took all my copies of bloodworkwith me and begged for help. I explained my situation. He was one of the best in my town. I was told to throw all my integrative tests in the trash and to gain 20 pounds and I would feel better. At the time...

    Hello, I am not new to this forum but may be my first post. I am feeling somewhat lost and at wits end. I started having symptoms back in 2012 and I have been fighting for answers ever since. Let me start by saying my brother has celiac disease diagnosed by bloodwork and then confirmed via having a scope done. He has it bad, just having bread touch his...
