• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi! While, I do not specifically have celiac disease, I have a severe wheat allergy, so I follow a gluten free diet. I have a blog in which I post gluten free recipes several times each week! I hope this will help you! Feel free to email me or visit my blog if you need help or recipes on your gluten free diet!

sincerely,
carrie

I think that is where I am at. There are some things I can eat and then there are some things I can't eat. I don't think I have full blow celiac but I have have an allergy to something. It is just easier to eat Gluten Free and feel well.

Be wary of soy too, Born2Serve. It's becoming more obvious at least in the alternative healthcare community that gluten allergy tends to go along with soy allergy as well.

Oddly, someone can have just a soy allergy and not be intolerant to gluten.

No one understands the mechanism yet, but the pattern is increasingly obvious.

Oh btw, my best friend is severely allergic to gluten and I'm used to cooking for her, so if there's any way I might be able to help just ask.

If you are interested, it might be worth finding an Applied Kinesiologist to discover what you're intolerances actually are. In the U.S. kinesiologists tend to be chiropractors. In Germany they tend to be MDs.

I found out I was a Celiac about a year ago. I get all the stomach issues which I will not go into detail about here plus blisters all over my hands and feet within a day of eating gluten. I also had some fairly severe neurological issues which developed throughout my 20's (I'm 32 now) and those have lessened in severity ever since I went off gluten. My diagnosis was fairly simply. I had had these blisters all over my hands pretty much constantly for years, as well as the afore-not-mentioned gut issues. When a friend suggested I might be a Celiac I took wheat out of my diet for a month to see if there was a difference. The blisters and other issues went away completely after about a week. I had a doctor do a blood test, but by that time I had been off gluten for a month, so it came back borderline negative. I told the doctor about trying to go off gluten and he said, "Yeah, forget the blood test, that's what it was."

Hey, Jimmyl, if you can you might try out the Australian allergy treatment I posted about elsewhere. I'm not celiac, but I was corn/dairy/citrus, seafood allergic. IOW, just about everything except gluten.

I've made a few trips to a clinic in SC that's doing this treatment and it's had amazing results for me. Last night the family went out to our once favorite Greek restaurant for the first time in many years. We were all dairy allergic, but since this treatment we all had pizza and no reaction at all. The dessert I'm sure had corn in it (well, and the pizza did to) and no reaction there either. Today I made chicken parmesan, and again, no reaction.

My best friend is (was?) gluten/soy/citrus/rice/corn allergic. She's since removed the corn, soy and citrus, and almost removed the rice and gluten. It'll probably take her a couple more visits to the clinic to finish finding all the components she's reacting to.

Anyway, here's the info on the treatment. www.allergytx.com

Well, it's not really an allergy, as there's no histamine reaction, but I do have many allergies as well. I'll check it out.

I don't have a histamine response either (technically it's an "intolerance", but this treatment has worked fine.

My son does have a histamine response to dust mites, and it seems to have cleared that up as well.

I have a histamine response to quite a few antibiotics, so I think in a future visit I'll see if I can get that toned down or eliminated.

The only kicker is if someone is already anaphylactic then this treatment isn't for you. They're still developing it though, and apparently there have been a few patients who were anaphylactic to something that aren't not -- it's just that you have to take things very very slowly so the body doesn't get overloaded.

Oops if you have a pacemaker this doesn't work either, in case that's an issue for anyone.
