celiac/leaky gut (was Re: dairy problems)

[Guest guest]

hi, heidi and all--

<(or " Neo-Celiac " -- there are a lot of people who seem to have

Celiac symptoms and are cured by the Celiac diet, but who don't test

positive for the antibodies involved). That turned out to be my

problem, and, coincidentally, my husband's (who can now eat fat just

fine). >

did you have a biopsy of your digestive tract tested to make the

diagnosis? i had my blood tested 2x --once through reg MD and again

through the Uofland's screening study-- and both tests returned

negative. rather than go through the biopsy, i opted just to remove

gluten anyway. then i added it back a la NT, but on a very small

scale.

a couple of days ago, after my tummy became distended on NT oatmeal,

i got rid of my final source of gluten. of course, with all the

special things i put in my oatmeal, i can't point a definite

accusative finger at the gluten, but i won't miss it.

tia--
