New - Is It Worth It?
lonewolf replied to DownWithGluten's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
YES! It's totally worth it. Almost 11 years ago I was told to eliminate wheat/gluten, dairy, soy and eggs and to make it a bit more restrictive throw out meat and poultry, legumes, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, bananas and a few other things that I can't remember. Several friends and relatives told me that "it isn't worth it" and to just find medications... -
Tonsils are actually an important part of your immune system. I had mine out at age 23 after a lot of problems, but now I see that they were diet related and it could have been avoided. You might want to consider changing your kids diet and seeing what happens with their tonsils before having them removed. You don't want to just remove a major symptom...

Where was this board 19 years ago? I had my tonsils taken out then after numerous bouts of tonsilitis and courses of antibiotics. I had those "stones" and never knew what they were until I read this thread. I had wondered if it had to do with my diet later on (like, 9 years later) and now I'm sure of it.

Itchy Ears
lonewolf replied to happygirl38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
YES! I didn't know that anyone else had this. I always thought it was psoriasis in there, since I have been fanatically gluten-free and it's still happening. I have been cheating a bit with eggs though, so maybe that's it. I have noticed that sometimes my ears start to itch with the first bite of something - somtimes even with a glass of water. I've... -
You might be interested in reading the book, "Nourishing Traditions" By Sally Fallon.

I've read a lot about this. I'm assuming you read an article and recipe by Sally Fallon, who is the chairman of the Weston A. Price organization. I think that the reason we have so much trouble with Celiac and gluten intolerance is that we don't soak and then ferment (sourdough is basically fermented grain) our grains like traditional cultures did. That...

Interesting. I've had the sharp pain in my right side too, along with gas, a lot in my life. I went for years when I had it every day. When I went wheat free it cleared up for the most part. It completely disappeared when I went totally, fanatically gluten-free, and hit me again a couple of weeks ago when I accidentally got "glutened". That was how I...

Keratosis Pilaris - Link To Celiac?
lonewolf replied to achiera's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This is interesting for sure. My youngest son (adopted) has it really bad on his arms, legs and a little on his cheeks. I asked the doctor about it when I had all my kids in for celiac testing last week and he assured me that it wasn't related at all. (This doctor was up-to-date on Celiac too.) This was the second doctor that had assured me it wasn't...
