ARCHIVED Possible to get a FULL Celiac serum panel in CANADA?
Positron replied to winjer's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Or you may have had celiac disease, and your doctors prescribed surgery, thus they are guilty of malpractice and you need a lawyer. This has happened before. I hope that is not the case here, but with 4 positive test it seems that the doctors may see that something is wrong, and that thing might well be THEM. Good luck -
ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
99 percent of all whole food is gluten free, so there is no food shortage for celiacs. Yogurt as I said contains lactose which is very hard for people who had their intestine damaged by gluten to digest, lactose is poison for me, as is gluten so I can not take the advise to eat yogurt without great pain. That said once I stopped eating the wrong foods,... -
ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am not a fan of yogurt, not that I do not like it as I do. However one pill that contains no calories has more and more types of bacteria than does a gallon of yogurt, also yogurt contains lactose which is poison for me and many others who had their guts damaged by gluten. The really bad thing with yogurt is that if you use it for this purpose you run... -
ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think the real point is that once a person goes completely gluten free, that there is no need to take any medications. That said there are no medications for gluten intolerance, all you can and need to do is to stop eating gluten. I actually used probiotics for about 6 months, but now I am completely healed, and take no medications at all. Diet is the... -
ARCHIVED how long does gluten stay in your system?
Positron replied to 1398-Days's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Villi do not always heal to the extent that lactose can be tolerated. Mine never have. Maltodextrine is a wheat product most of the time, however corn maltodextrine is a corn product and is safe for those who can not consume gluten. What is maltodextrin? Maltodextrin is a food additive that is produced from a grain starch. In the United States... -
Can a person with gluten disorder die from complications of eating gluten? Yes or no only please. The correct answer is why no person with pains should continue to consume the poison that is causing those pains. Also remember that once a doctor diagnoses this, they can no longer treat you for it, because there is no treatment,

ARCHIVED Positive biopsy ? About blood test
Positron replied to Binti1962's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I went to a doctor a few days ago for an unrelated issue. We got to talking about my self diagnosed celiac disease and lactose intolerance. Since she is a doctor she has to know more than me, at one point she ask me what do I eat as though this could not be true. I should have responded food. Doctors will do as many test as the insurance plan will allow... -
ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
No probiotic can make a patient better. There is no medicine for celiac disease, to treat the disease you must stop consuming gluten. Also if you need a probiotic, you are still not gluten free. No doctor prescribes probiotics to cure gluten disorder, if they do they are quacks. -
ARCHIVED Dr. refuses to order tTg and DGP
Positron replied to manasota's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If celiac disease has been making you sick for 8 years and you know that you have this, then it is your fault for continuing to eat gluten. This is not your doctors fault. -
ARCHIVED Positive biopsy ? About blood test
Positron replied to Binti1962's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Your doctor is a typical insurance fraud specialist. The blood test means nothing, it will be negative most of the time. Also if you had a biopsy before a typical blood test, this is so bad as to qualify as malpractice, as it is backwards. This is like doing a cancer operation before the cancer test. -
ARCHIVED how long does gluten stay in your system?
Positron replied to 1398-Days's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It takes a full 2 years for the damage that a serious gluten issue can cause to heal. You will still be finding things in them that contain gluten for at least another year on average. I found lactose in my allergy pills recently. Remember that maltodextrine is made from wheat, so always look for corn maltodextrine which is ok. -
Are you taking an acid blocker such as Prilosec under a doctors care? this will decrease acid letting your stomach heal, this was very important for me. Bye the way, it takes 2 full years for healing to be complete. Are you also lactose intolerant due to the gluten issue like me? If so milk will cause similar symptoms, and a protein shake with whey is just...

ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You misunderstood, all the brands contain bacteria. Open Original Shared Link I used this with good luck, but now since I learned what I was doing wrong, they are not needed. -
If you want to be healthy you need to eat real food, not protein shakes that were not helping you in the first place. Try tuna on Udis hotdog rolls, it's delicious and healthy too.

ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Probiotics are just bacteria, that grow in your gut. They are all the same, once they get there they multiply, buy the pills not yogurt, I bought mine in Walgreens, don't remember what type they were but the varieties of bacteria are listed on the box, more is better, but paying more is not because once they are present they just continue to grow. However... -
ARCHIVED Support?
Positron replied to Kaj242's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Medical doctors need to stop pretending that they have never heard of gluten sensitivity until after they do 3 months and hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical test on suffering individuals. They treat us like cash cows, my doctor told me that gluten issues could not cause intestinal bleeding, so that he could run more test on me, however I never showed... -
ARCHIVED Probiotic - Which is the Best?
Positron replied to anyana's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Once you stop eating gluten, and give your gut time to heal, you will not need probiotics. Yes they can help with some symptoms, but they are not the answer. I used them, and thought they were important, however they are not the cure, not eating the wrong foods is the answer. Thus you need less, not more. -
ARCHIVED Looking for Dairy Free milk chocolate recipes
Positron replied to Positron's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Tried those, I am looking to make real Swedish chocolate. The life chunks have no milk, so they are not milk chocolate. Thanks though........... -
Shop Rite prices are far cheaper than Costco. You have to check prices per pound or quart as the bulk products are packaged differently. Then you have to add money to your order because you have to pay to shop there. Costco also has less than half the selection of a typical mega supermarket. Been there done that, it's a waste. Shop Rite also has far...

ARCHIVED How important is it to also go dairy free?
Positron replied to sella's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
You can eat as much dairy as you want, if your celiac disease has not damaged the cilia in your small intestine. If that is the case then you can not eat dairy, this is entirely dependent on the individual. In my case I noticed and diagnosed lactose intolerance first, then two years later I figured out that it was caused by gluten. If you have any damage... -
ARCHIVED duodenal bulb biopsies results??
Positron replied to A.J.Black's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Cycle, your doctors can not treat you if you have celiac, you can treat yourself however. The doctors will use you as a cash cow however and run millions of dollars of test on you. Stop eating gluten, and also be sure that if your cilia are damaged that you can still digest lactose as well. Seriously ask your doctor what treatment they have for you if... -
I understand that the poster is trying to get tested. However if a person is gluten intolerant, and the problem has progressed to the point of abdominal pain and internal bleeding, eating gluten can cause death. Thus there is no reason to die for a medical test, besides the test does not enable any treatment. You get tested for cancer, then they decide...

ARCHIVED Gluten-Free is my last hope. Any help, suggestions welcome!
Positron replied to Forman337's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Doctors do not test for celiac, because they have no treatment for it. I am gluten and lactose free a well, celiac caused lactose intolerance, I only figured out the celiac part after the lactose part was caused by the celiac. -
Nothing you are doing is normal or correct. You need to stop listening to your doctors if your problem is gluten. There is no medical cure for gluten sensitivity, so they can not help you, and any doctor who would tell a person to poison theirselves should be sued for malpractice. You need to stop eating gluten, it will take your body 2 years to heal, your...
