    I agree with cyclinglady that it sounds suspiciously like plain old food poisoning, then again, it is flu season. I hope you have gotten over it.

    I am using the liquid. Better control. So, after two doses I am recognizing significant improvement. Specifically my perceived toe and foot temperature has improved. They do not feel as cold, numbness is improving. Early days but looking good. Brewers yeast is a form of yeast, so I do not think there is a gluten concern, just because it is also used...

    Amy, Yes the wheat affects the opioid receptors so you are addicted to wheat. That is why it is in most foods. In addition to fighting the cravings, you will be mourning the loss of a very old and dear friend. I found a research study on the quality of life relative to undiscovered celiac disease. Life is better without wheat. Read the previous posts. I had...

    I suddenly remembered a TV commercial from the 50's watching Arthur Godfrey or someone. Something like this: "Tired, run down? You may have Iron Poor Blood. Get Geritol and get your energy back!" At least that is what I heard in my head. So I bought a bottle, real cheap. The effect for the first week was like drinking a 5 Hour Energy. More than met my expectation...

    There is no downside to a wheat free diet, Celiac or not, other than a massive loss of revenue for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Wheat based breakfast cereals are only a "nutritious part of a healthy breakfast" because of the added vitamins and minerals. The 25,000 or so strains of modern semi dwarf wheat, which is today about 85% of commercial...

    Me too. I still get transient lower back pain occasionally when my bladder or colon is full. It goes away immediately on voiding. Regardless of anything other diseases you may have, being wheat free gives you relief so even if not Celiac you are Non Celiac Wheat Sensitive. There are over 200 symptoms that are improved with GFD gluten free diet. Google...

    Here is a partial list of what I no longer suffer from as a result of not eating wheat. Some like the sleep apnea and gerd and back pain and addiction to alcohol were almost immediate. The foot pain is improved to just numbness sometimes. My long term depression went away when I added vitamin D 10,000 iu a day for a year, but the improvement started almost...

    Celiac Disease is damage to the nooks and crannies in our intestines leading to malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies with all the various symptoms that make it so hard to diagnose. Then you add years of the antacids, antibiotics, Tylenol, opioids, alcohol, etc., each with their own particular side effects and damage. Now you've got a toxic environment that...

    Apoptosis is the body killing off old or defective cells. Iodine is its main tool. Insufficient iodine causes slow healing. Working Theory; As a celiac you have malabsorbtion syndrome also, so you are even more likely than the typical American to be iodine deficient. Among other things it will cause slow healing, low T3 and low T4 and high TSH and poor energy...

    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...

    Hokan Bean Thread Cellophane noodles. also called Saifun. Publix supermarket has it on the Ethnic food aisle bottom shelf below the Tamari, with the other aisian noodles.

    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...
  22. Wheatwacked
    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.
