I have seen some of your prior posts. I am suffering from food intolerance flare ups presently and I am trying to convince my Dr to let me try Ketotifen. I wanted to know if you could send me the name and phone number of your prescribing Dr. My case is my GI Drs first one of a non celiac nature and she would like to discuss it with other Drs who are using the meds. Thanks!

Cough As A Reaction?
Rachel--24 replied to CMCM's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I havent had a cough that could be attributed to gluten but I definately think that its a possibility for you. I dont do well with processed foods and usually avoid it. Earlier this year while I was eating things I shouldnt have been eating I caught a cold which turned into a bad cough. Every day the cough would clear up...until I ate. Immediately after... -
How To Test Yourself Through Muscle Testing
Rachel--24 replied to hollyres's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi, I've had LOTS of muscle testing and I absolutely LOVE it. I really hadn't tried anything like this until about a year and a half ago. My Dr. sent me to this "voodoo" lady (thats what I called her at the time ) and I wasnt all that thrilled about it....but I went because my Dr. said she was good. She wasnt doing muscle testing....but... -
Sulfur Metabolism
Rachel--24 replied to Nanjkay's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Nancy, None of these questions can be easily answered. If you do have a problem with sulfur metabolism it can be quite complex and correcting it would more than likely depend on getting to the root of the problem. I see in your signature that you have alot of other issues as well? Some of those things may be a factor....chronic infections or heavy... -
Thanks. My session went very well...no adverse reactions. Most definately chelation should not be taken lightly...and it should only be done by a very knowledgeable Dr. with alot of experience in heavy metal detox/chelation therapy. I've been working with my Dr.'s for over a year now. They would not begin any kind of chelation until my body...

You can take binders that are not chelators...they just bind with the mobilized metals preventing them from causing more damage. The best is probably chlorella (from a good source). Its an algae very capable of binding with metals in the gut. It also has many other health benefits....some people dont tolerate it well though. I cant take chlorella or...

I'm not Carla but yes....it would be a temporary worsening of symptoms. Some people refer to it as "die-off"...I think of it as a redistribution of heavy metals. Yeast and molds bind with heavy metals. If you have a problem with mercury from amalgams...you would very likely also have a problem with fungi. If you kill the yeast...the metals they were bound...

Onions and garlic are very high in sulfur...same with eggs. Foods high in sulfur are natural chelators of heavy metals such as mercury. Usually people who have problems with heavy metals will experience some reactions to these foods...as they move the metals around. I had alot of problems with these foods but now that I'm under treatment I can eat...

Your journey to heal has been inspiring. I admire your strength and determination. All of your experiences and the knowledge that you share has helped us all.

I agree that gluten can cause damage outside of the intestines. However, I dont think a person w/out Celiac is sentenced to a life without gluten. If they can address the issues which led them to develop leaky gut and correct this.....making their intestinal environment healthy once again....I dont think the reactions would continue to occur. The more...

If its *all* or most bottled waters....I would suspect the plastics. Yes, chemicals from plastic do leech into bottled water....especially if it sits in the sun or something like that. If its only certain brands...it could be something they add into the water. I cant handle Dasani water cuz of the addded minerals and I react to bottled water if its been...

I know of good doctors here in CA. Sorry dont know about Iowa. I had alot of doctors who knew nothing about Celiac....I had already done lots of research and been on this board awhile and could easily tell that these doctors were clueless. I never thought I'd find a doctor more knowledgeable than I was but by chance I did....I found a doctor who I could listen...
