Comments for Gluten Free Society http://www.glutenfreesociety.org Educating Doctors and Patients About Gluten Sensitivity Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:11:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Corn Gluten Damages Celiac Patients by Caryn http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/corn-gluten-damages-celiac-patients/comment-page-1/#comment-96797 Caryn Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:57:38 +0000 http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/?p=197#comment-96797 Thank you so much for posting this very informative article. I have a blog that is gluten and corn free. I have always thought that there was a connection even though doctors have yet to find it. If corn is safe for 50% of celiacs then there MUST be a type of sprue caused by corn gluten intolerance too. I met someone with sprue from soy but that person still eats wheat. As for me and my house, we are going on a low carb gluten free diet this year and plan to greatly reduce all grains. Your website is going to be very crucial to our process. Much appreciation for all that Dr. Osborne does. I find I am linking to his work time and time again. Thank you so much for posting this very informative article.

I was dumb founded and a little angry that I have suffered with psoriasis that manifested on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet for 24 years, but instead of being informed of dietary influences I was given different creams and gels. I was diagnosis when I was 25, I am 49 now and this past year I have been almost totally psoriasis free when I cut out grains. When I do ocassionally eat grains, including beer, with in 3 days my psoriasis is back. One benefit for me has been the 45 lb weight loss I have experienced since cutting grains from my diet!

It is not to discourage breast feeding. It is to encourage breast feeding mom's to take a closer look at what they are eating as it can affect their breast feeding baby. There is no doubt that breast feeding is far superior to formula. All the best, Dr. O Anne and Cara,

Breastfeeding get's enough bad publicity, despite the huge positives to breast milk, cancer protection, higher immunity for the infants undeveloped immune system, less infections, protection for digestive system.....the list is massive for both mother and child. If you post something about breast milk then you should list all the positive facts and the negative effects of formula milk so people can make informed decisions based on comprehensive information.

Pleases It takes a lot longer than that for gluten or any other allergen to be completely cleared from our systems. Many, many mothers with gluten-intolerant babies have successfully eliminated gluten from their diets and thus resolved their babies' digestive and other issues. Your concerns about lingering gluten/gliadin in commercial cow's milk dairy is certainly legitimate and worth exploring, but I fear the possible implications from those who seek to undermine breastfeeding. Get back to us when there's a study on breastmilk after gluten has been eliminated for three WEEKS, at the very least. Three months would be better. In the meantime, let's be clear that the answer to this is NOT formula (for many of the same reasons you're concerned about gluten in cow's milk products, among many other risks associated with formula), as some will likely conclude in a panic.

Our carnivorous pets too are not set up to handle gluten. Think of it - nature gives us a clue: Animals able to digest grains (horses, cows, deer, etc.) produce youngsters who are up and running within half an hour of birth. Animals whose youngsters need to be nurtured for sextended periods of time (dogs, cats, wolves, monkeys, etc.) are designed mostly as carnivores or omnivores. I have yet to see a human baby skip out of the delivery room while mom is delivering the afterbirth. We humans are clearly not designed for grain consumption either. We too are hunter-gatherers. Hence, for us wheat is not the staff that upholds but the staff that kills.

I pay $20 per week w/delivery and they reuse the boxes too. I have some choice over the selection but since it's mostly seasonal and local I am eating a variety of veggies I would not normally choose but hate to waste. I live in Chicago and use the Newleaf Grocery for delivery. Hope this helps. I have organic food boxes delivered for less than u would purchase at the grocery store.

]]> Comment on Biopsy Testing For Celiac Disease Completely Flawed! by janice http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/biopsy-testing-for-celiac-disease-completely-flawed/comment-page-1/#comment-94377 janice Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:28:03 +0000 http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/?p=1119#comment-94377 About a year ago, I tested slightly high for antibodies, had a negative biopsy and extremely high risk of celiac disease on Prometheus gene test. I had been diagnosed throughout the years with IBS but nothing I tried made my symptoms any better. My new gastroenterologist was the one who suggested I get tested for celiac disease, and even though my biopsy was negative and my antibodies weren't through the roof although not normal, after my gastro saw the results of the gene test, she told me to just assume I have gluten intolerance and stop eating gluten. Because I felt so much better after going gluten free, I have followed her advice for over a year and could never go back to eating gluten. I don't have any problems with corn or gluten free bread or pasta. The only time I have a reaction is when I eat yogurt with gluten free granola, but it's not really too bad and nothing like when I used to eat something like turkey on rye for lunch. Anyone who feels better eating gluten free should just eat gluten free. Simple as that. Don't let old-fashioned thinking from doctors dissuade you from feeling better.

I have rheumatoid arthritis & indigestion & think gluten may be the prob, But I'm on very low income & no way can afford gluten free products in stores the prices are very depressing as is organic I do get organic milk & few produce when on sale only. also very hard for disabled ppl to cook healthy (all the washing & cutting etc.) Would appreciate some ideas or ways to make or find cheaper gluten free products.
