    I think it's fair to say most mainstream doctors do understand there is a connection between mind, body and spirit. I don't know any that would deny that. It's just that they aren't well trained to, nor have the time for, nor get paid for exploring that in depth at this point in time. But they aren't oblivious to it. That would be unfair to say.

    Yes, I've always been amazed how you can have a long hose shoved into your body from either end and come out of it not even realizing anything was done.

    Barrett's esophagus occurs more often in people with chronic GERD (Gastro Esophagial Reflux Disease) than in the general population. The constant irritation and inflammation caused by the stomach acid getting past the lower esophagial sphincter (LES) causes cellular changes in the esophagus and that is called Barrett's esophagus. That said, GERD is more common...

    Unless you are a sensitive celiac it can be hard to tell when you unintentionally consume minor amounts of gluten. Symptoms may be very vague or entirely missing. This is especially true if you have been regularly exposed to minor amounts of gluten, such as through cross contamination, that allows your system to maintain some degree of tolerance to gluten...

    Buckwheat is not a cereal grain. It is the seeds from plants in the same family as rhubarb. Totally different than wheat, barley, rye, rice, corn, etc.

    Good question and one I remember coming up before on the forum. I'm not aware of any research suggesting that we can get glutened from eating animal products coming from animals who were fed gluten. Having said that, we used to confidently claim that distilled liquors were free of gluten but anecdotal experiences are challenging that assertion. We are also...

    You could have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which you are feeding with the high carb diet of rice and fruit. You can get tested for this medically but a first step might be to revert to a very low carb, higher fat, higher protein diet (lots of meat, eggs, and nuts) and see if you don't feel better. What carbs you do take in should be of the...

    Hello, Zoey and welcome to this online community! How do you know you have celiac disease? Have you been tested for it and did the test results show that you have celiac disease? Or have you reached this conclusion because of the symptoms you are experiencing from eating bread and other wheat products? Yes, candy can have gluten in it so you have...

    I can handle 8 weeks or so. No problem.

    Looking forward to this. Please follow-up when the results are in.

    But in your previous post you said, "It's thiamine deficiency." That's pretty unequivocal. That's what I had a problem with.
  12. trents
    The study you sight concerns T Cell/mast cell proliferation in MS patients, not those with celiac disease or other bowel disorders. I doubt if thiamine deficiency alone can explain what many in the celiac population are experiencing with regard to resurfacing of their symptoms after years of gluten free living. I don't think thiamine supplementation is the...

    I don't know how to make it clearer than to just say immune system factors other than what can be contributed to what we eat, whether gluten or non gluten containing foods. I just get the feeling after reading that article and after reading the testimonies of many forum contributors that for more than a few people who start out with a celiac disease or gluten...

    Food companies can and do change their formulations over time. And the formulations can vary across world markets. Are your M&Ms manufactured in Australia or some other country besides the US? But thanks for the input. It needs to be looked into.

    Ditto to what Scott said. Have you actually broached the possibility of celiac disease with your physician? This might be helpful: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis/screening/. Give it to him and ask him to run the "Other Tests" as well. If he is not responsive, seek out another practitioner.

    I would not think something like that would contain gluten just by the nature of what it is. Gluten isn't listed in the ingredients and I can't imagine any getting in there from cross contamination in handling or processing.

    Many celiacs have few or no symptoms in the beginning phase of the active form. We call them "silent" celiacs. It's only after the symptoms begin to manifest themselves significantly that they seek medical help that leads to a diagnosis. By then, however, damage to the immune system, the bones and the neurological system may have already happened. The average...

    Unfortunately, just as genetic testing cannot confirm celiac disease, neither can it completely rule it out. We are hearing of cases where the genes are not there but people do have celiac disease. I think there is a lot we don't know about the genetics of the matter. The current gene alleles associated with celiac disease are skewed toward the European/caucasian...

    Does the 10 year old have the same set of parents? By that, I mean the two boys are not half brothers are they? If they are full brothers they would have the same gene combinations, wouldn't they? Please realize that having the genetic potential for celiac disease is not a guarantee that you will develop active celiac disease. Many more people have the...

    This study is over two years old now and I have not heard of any follow-up studies to verify results. You would think other researchers would pick up on this, given the accuracy of the initial research results.

    I had my first (Moderna) shot this past Saturday. I'll be 70 next month. Sore arm for 2-3 days. Slight fever that evening, fatigue, muscle aches in lower back and neck for a couple of days. Cough and chest congestion also but I was feeling extra tiered earlier in the day and I wonder if I had not already started coming down with something before the shot...

    Allirose, it could be that you have become allergic or intolerant to the protein in the milk. But there are often additives in chocolate, like emulsifiers, that can cause people issues. Can you list the entire ingredient content of the chocolate bare in question or snap a pic of it and attach to your next post?

    The small amount of iron in a multivitamin will not have much impact on your iron levels if your are significantly anemic. Besides that, many with iron deficiency anemia are also low in B12 which is necessary for the absorption of iron. Some people have what's called "pernicious anemia" which is the lack of an enzyme called "intrinsic factor" which prevents...

    Scott, in context it's not clear to me whether the "exclusionary diet" is referring to excluding gluten or excluding CMP and then reintroducing CMP.
