    My suspicion is dehydration caused by too much fiber. Combined with your cold, fever and perhaps any medications, loss of appetite and the high fiber content of the chia, slowing down the passage of the post nasal drip thereby giving it more time to irritate. I had a similar experience with Graviola during a phase of anorexia, when I would take it without...

    Same stuff, different brand. Ingredients Mung Bean Starch. Cellophane. I don't know why I thought glass. The Hokan Saifun is $2.09 for 3 noodle cakes 3.75 ounces. ingredients: mung bean flower and water. After it is cooked I snip it with scissors. Saifun noodles are known as: Mung Bean Threads, Cellophane Noodles, Bean Threads, Silver Noodles, Jelly...

    At 21, I went to the doctor complaining of some pain on urination. He stuck his finger up my rear and said my prostate was enlarged. He then said it would get worse with age. He also said that prostate cancer was rare in patients with BHP. He also said I should tell my wife we need to have more sex as treatment. That did not go well. So all these years I...

    It is sad to say goodbye to old friends. I finally gave up M&M Peanut, my lifetime favorite, when post GFD I discovered that it has added lactose bringing that issue, and that peanuts cause my prostate BPH to flare up. The gluten free diet cured my Benign Prostate Hypertrophy diagnosed originally in 1972 after about three months wheat free, but I would...

    A great milestone for you!

    Alka Selzer. The combination of aspirin and bicarbonate takes about 15 minutes or so to calm my gut. Followed by whatever food I tolerate. Cream of Rice is a good choice. Mung bean glass noodles have a low glycemic index and is great in chicken soup. I use No Salt Chicken Broth and add Tamari (no wheat soy sauce), a sheet of Sushi seaweed (iodine for healing...

    "They found 40 patients with combined cerebellar ataxia and sensory ganglionopathy..Nineteen patients had gluten sensitivity, of whom 3 patients had biopsy proven celiac disease...Only 3 patients were classified as having a truly idiopathic combination of cerebellar ataxia with sensory ganglionopathy." So, 37 of 40 patients diagnosed as cerebellar ataxia...

    Celiac disease was a problem long before Round Up. My son was biopsy diagnosed in 1976. That is Big Wheat spending millions in order to divert attention. Here is a question. Why is it, when they hold congressional discussions on Genetic Modifications in Food, Wheat is specifically excluded from all discussion? Why is Wheat still government subsidized?

    I've been cold intolerant all of my life and it has improved since becoming gluten free. I have to take hot showers to raise my core temperature to stop shivering. I was following Ratso Rizzo's ("Midnight Cowboy") advice when I moved to Florida. All, I believe are complications from eating wheat and gluten. My son was diagnosed Celiac in 1976. My...

    I Know how you feel. My son was born in 1976. They tried to convince my wife that he was just colicky because she was so anxious and she should take valium. I looked at him and thought "Biafra Baby Belly" because he looked just like the news photos of the Biafra famine in the 60's. Eventually, and without the valium, we got to the only specialist in...

    Absolutely.

    Your defacto diagnosis is self evident. Wheat is bad for you. More celiac tests will only prove what you already know. The only treatment is don't eat wheat. It is not your fault. As you get wheat free you will discover other health issues that were hidden and probably caused by wheat as a secondary. Treat them as they come up. You may be low in vitamin...

    Regardless of the scientific proof of no gluten, cross contamination would be a high risk. I boycott anything Wheat. Plus, I don't know, they lie a lot. Walgreen's Nutritional Shake every morning for breakfast. At $1 a serving it can be considered a meal replacement. You could doctor it up with your own flavors and berries and stuff, but I like the...

    Wheat free or die. The sooner you start the better you feel. All those years going to the doctor and they had no clue. What makes you think they know more than or care more than you? Follow your gut.

    The single most important thing is to get off wheat. The beginning is the hardest. I think that since you have been eating a wheat diet since birth a few more weeks to break the Wheat Addiction will not cause harm. Shopping is easy. You read the label. If it has wheat, find something else. Tuna salad with Fritos was a favorite of mine, also watermelon. Your...

    Hi Janwill. I am sorry for your loss. You are lucky to have discovered that you cannot eat wheat now. Better than suffering for years with misdiagnoses and the damage the wrong treatment can cause. Once you get over mourning your loss you will find life is better. For starters you will likely avoid diabetes and obesity. That is good, yes? Wheat consumption...
