Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 In my " gut " ha ha.....I always wondered about these Elisa food intolerance tests, not being very accurate...and also enterolab's Fine M.D. claims that 81% of us have a sensitivity/intolerance with gluten anyway (so who does that leave out???...obviously not this " sick " family).....so why doesn't he pay us for his expensive tests?????...........it made me wonder why insurance wouldn't cover them! Now I see at least one reason to why.....they are not very good and horribly expensive! I rather by groceries at Cosco (thanks for the tip Carol)! We are having success only doing 1 teaspoon at a time with activated charcoal! Still need some advice on giving activated charcoal to a resistant 22 month old....anyone has and idea???? When should we increase the amount? FEARFUL! Carol, and anybody else with many years SCD....did you grow out of your intolerances/allergies/sensitivities....how are you doing compared to six years ago...give me hope, if you have any. I know some of your story...but not enough. Could you eat wheat cake if you wanted to...not to go back to your ways before SCD....but to have a slice of " real " cake, maybe once a year for a birthday????

I did not out grow or grow out of all of them.. Like a diabetic I have learned to live with them, manage them and work around them. I have good weeks and bad days but am A-1 compared to six years ago. I can have the very occasional non legal thing but never know if I manage to escape immediate consequences because as Jody warned, I could experience a reaction up to two weeks later. Like you, I have a great attitude. SCD is my soul mate and I signed on for life. No potato or bagel is that important when you think that the food I've learned to create on SCD makes it necessary for me to occasionally count calories. Following SCD made a cook and even a cooking school instructor out of me. My meals are varied, delicious, quick and fairly easy to make and if they aren't, I don't make them. I regard SCD as a combination of art and magic and it is an exciting hobby as well as a healing tool. It comforts me to know that others get completely cured. Celiac is supposed to be the toughest of the gastric diseases. I have other health challenges to deal with as well as aging. At least I'm still alive and a lot more active then many in my age group. i am in that bracket where the phone survey people don't even want you to participate.LOL Carol F.
