About Me

 

     Celiac...Can't eat gluten (rye, oats, barley, wheat etc.) and sometimes dairy/sugar....and soy. Celiac comes from low sunlight heritage countries like: Scottish, English, Irish, Canada, European and more or people who didn't eat dairy/gluten in past heritage, but now eat it/bodies can't adapt to it like: Indian, AfroAmerican, Hmong, Chinese, Mexican etc.. Millions of people are Celiac, but may not realize it and blood tests/biposies to diagnose it may not work.

 

      Gluten destroys the gut lining and destroys the villi in the small intestines that absorb nutrients...then cells are not made right or work right...then another health issue may kick in. I got MS from being Celiac. A person may not always feel their intestines being hurt. The whole family tree maybe Celiac, but each person may get different health issues from it. I got low thyroid/MS/built up heavy metals from being Celiac.
     When the body is low in nutrients and cells are not made right/work right a Celiac person may get one or more of the following: failure to thrive, tired, sad, sensitive/cry alot, learning disabilities, Autism, Attention deficient, hyperactive, wet pants, ear infections, food allergies due to leaky gut, stomach ache, eczema, diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, IBS, lactose intolerance, eating disorders, yeast, asthma, overweight (crave dairy/gluten/sugar)....., depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks, suicidal, sleeping problems, obsessions, drug use, cigarette use, alcoholism (crave gluten in the alcohol), addictions, short height, hair loss,.... bipolar, schizophrenia,  seizures, gall/kidney stones, endometriosis, PCO disease, infertility problems, thyroid problems, Chronic fatigue, psorasis, acid reflex (heart burn), ulcers, premature gray hair, swollen joints, arthritis....Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Cancer, MS, Crohn's disease, Lupus, Osteoporosis, high blood pressure, hormone problems, dementia, heavy metals, Alzheimers, die young and more... for which Celiac maybe the root cause. 

     Great book- Dangerous Grains by Braly... Shows how Celiac can be the root cause for many illnesses and more (The list of illnesses is not complete...since many things can go wrong in a person's body once their body is low in nutrients.)

     Treating the symptoms and not the Celiac (root cause), lets the person's health get worse... Their health may decline slowly adding more health issues each year and/or their health may "crash" quickly, with a life threatening problem. Some people think it is just aging...but it is due to Celiac slowly destroying their intestines, then nutrients aren't absorbed, then cells they aren't made right or work right. Some people who didn't get Celiac help die early deaths and some suffer with their body slowly breaking down. 

    Celiac is autoimmune. The immune system may destroy the gut lining/thyroid and more. Celiac is not an allergy. Celiac can cause "leaky gut", which causes food to leak into the blood through sores/thin gut lining, then the blood builds up antibodies to the food creating food allergies. It helps to rotate foods, so allergies aren't as strong.

    I heal my gut lining by: Not eating gluten/dairy, taking LDN, Slippery elm, Valerian, Glutamine, Vit A, green tea and more. This stops future allergies/health issues from Celiac.

   Gluten may wreck the stomach cell lining that makes HCl and intrinsic factor to carry Vit B12 into the intestines. I needed Vit B12 shots....and HCl (stomach acid)/Now brand Super enzymes when I ate. Acid reflex is due to too low of stomach acid....the person needs more HCl.

   Lactose intolerance is due to gluten destroying the villi intestine tips which make the lactase enzyme to digestion lactose. When the villi tips are healed, some people may eat dairy again. 

    My dairy problem was greater than Lactose intolerance...it was autoimmune...it destroyed my body/brain. Dairy gave me seizures, depression no medicine could help, demyelinated my brain which made my MS kick in, and caused me bladder problems.

    I took Osteoprocare instead of dairy. I shake it well and pour it into lemon water. Osteoprocare is drink which has Ca orotate, Mg and many cofactors which helped it absorb into by body. Other calcium supplements gave me bone spurs...they didn't have enough cofactors to work right in me). Soy is not a good dairy substitute...it can block thyroid hormone, affect hormones, affect a child's/adult's brain/body.

 

    I do not eat: dairy/gluten/sugar/starch/soy/flax/MSG/nutrasweet/alcohol/bad fats (transfat/hydrogenated fat, high saturated fat/high monounsaturated fat)/heated oils/highly allergic food and more. I eat a modified Asian way. Asian people eat meat/veg/rice three meals a day and don't feel sorry for themselves. They don't eat dairy/gluten unless they get school lunches or food pantry food. Cultures who didn't eat dairy/gluten in past history should avoid eating it now. This free food may cause them many health issues/doctor bills. We need to learn to eat their way, not the American way, which may destroy their great health now...and after a few generations of eating dairy/gluten, they may not survive as well...  they may get the American health issues. The world needs to learn their awesome way of eating which makes great health...brain/body working well...and low depression.  

    I eat: fish, organic vegetables, organic brown rice (instead of gluten),cage free eggs, raw walnuts (crack open the shell to avoid gluten contamination on conveyor belts), lemon juice in reverse osmosis water and tea.

   People can buy Celiac recipe books, but I can't eat these recipes yet. It is easier/cheaper for me to cook by scratch and eat the Asian way, than redo recipes. Asian people are very healthy/smart/coordinated. They are a great model for me.

   Gluten free products are at local stores and health food stores. It needs to say "gluten free" on it. You can't assume corn meal is gluten free unless it says it on the label. Some boxed gluten free food has air gluten contamination in it, from being made in the same building as gluten food. Gluten free oats may hurt celiac people and hurt me. Premade Celiac food can be expensive and may have fat/sugar/dairy and more that I couldn't eat. I mostly cook by "scratch"...no premade Celiac food or boxed Celiac food. I want to know it is contamination free and ingredients I can eat and is cheap.     

    Corn meal may also be genetically modified which majorly hurts animals in tests...may hurt people majorly too. Soy/corn/cotton seed/buckwheat/salmon and more maybe mostly genetically modified.

    People can buy or make nongluten noodles, bread, flour. I order a 25 pound bag of organic brown rice from a health food store, which lasts a long time. 

       Dairy/gluten contamination can be: in pans, the factory/restaurant air, toasters, medicines, shampoo, toothpaste, hand lotion, in tuna, makeup, in vitamins, injected into meat, in labels as casein, textured vegetable protein, malt and more), premade food, unshelled nuts (I buy them in the shell to avoid gluten on conveyor belts), cutting boards, grills etc. 
    I avoided all restaurants except for The Tempura House that cooked special for me, called the "Wendy Special"(vegetables/rice/hard boiled egg/tea) Hardee's low carb burger, Burger King, Outback Steak house, are a few restaurants that cook for Celiac people.

    Low absorption of nutrients in the intestines due to Celiac causes cells not to be made right/work right. When brain cells are low in oxygen burning, it can cause: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, fear, obsessions, MS, sleep problems and more.

     People who go to a psychiatrist/psychologists or are alcoholic/codependent, use drugs or are constantly depressed may be Celiac. Celiac can affect personality/mental/emotional health since it affects the brain and body. Bipolar/schizophrenia/ADHD and more maybe Celiac. Many Celebrities have Celiac "crashes" on TV for the world to see, but they may never get help for Celiac...so they never treat the root cause...and never get any real lasting help.
      LDN (low dose naltrexone) is a medicine from a compounding pharmacy that helps to block Celiac, but not 100%. It is like a miracle, healing the gut lining, helping the intestines to absorb nutrients again and keeps the immune system from going down due to dairy/gluten. 3 or 4.5 mg of LDN is taken before a person goes to bed. It feels like taking a vitamin, has ~ no sideeffects, is cheap, works fantastic and is amazing. It blocks the opiate receptor sites that dairy/gluten stimulate, that cause the immune system go down. LDN lets the immune system work properly. LDN heals the stomach/intestines, helps stop hair loss, helps the immune system, helps depression, gives energy, helps mood, helps stop cravings, helps personality, helps the liver to remove heavy metals and helps every cell of the body, etc. Wow! It is like a miracle!...but the Celiac diet is still needed since a person may override their LDN medicine with what they eat.

   Celiac can be diagnosed by symptoms/health issues/family tree health issues/trial of not eating gluten or dairy for a few weeks and then eat the food again and see how it hurts them again.

   Blood tests and biopsies to diagnose Celiac may not work and doctors may not be trained in Celiac/vitamins/good oils/LDN etc.....but www.enterolab.com is a stool sample and genetic cheek test that helps to diagnose Celiac (within 6 months of not eating gluten.     
 
    I had 1000X more energy/stopped being dizzy/tired when I didn't eat gluten for 2 weeks, but ate organic brown rice instead. My knee that was swollen and ready to explode, was ok after 3 days of eating not eating gluten. My MS was due to dairy/gluten and when I stopped eating it...my MS symptoms went away unless I got contamination. 

    My body healed fast when I stopped eating dairy/gluten permanently...  I started to absorb more nutrients in my intestines...then I detoxed with Now brand Detox Support etc and EDTA/DMPS IV chelations and rebuilt my cells with vitamins/good oils. Eating 100% this way, can bring health/healing to a Celiac person fast.

    I wrote a daily journal of the what I did for that day and the symptoms.. listed my food,vitamins, medicine, symptoms, things I learned.... which helped me figure out that antibiotics, gluten, dairy, sugar/starch, bad fats, heated oils, coconut oil, flax, olive oil, corn, alcohol, chocolate in fat, cashews, soy, MSG, and nutrasweet, and allergic foods were like poison to me. I no longer craved dairy/gluten and unhealthy food. I chose health over "junk food". Eating healthy reeducated my taste buds. Carrots now tasted sweeter! Healthy food tastes great!   

     Some Celiac people are full of heavy metals because their liver cells are not made right or work right due to not absorbing nutrients...so their liver does not detox right. Heavy metals can come from pesticides/mercury fillings/water/soil/smoke etc. Heavy metals may block 1000's of chemical reactions in the body, which may cause them to not be able to eat/digest certain foods like sugar/corn etc., block thyroid, block certain vitamins from working and cause the body to be in chaos. Heavy metals caused me much suffering/panic attacks...much hell. I was so glad the EDTA/DMPS IV chelations could pull out the heavy metals and get my body back to working right.

     I took the Now brand-Detox Support, milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid to detox/rebuild my liver. I did EDTA/DMPS IV chelations (from an Alternative medicine doctor) to remove heavy metals from my body/brain. Hair tests show if heavy metals/good minerals are high or low. If the hair test is low in good minerals, intestines may not be absorbing nutrients well. If the hair test is high in heavy metals...their liver may not be working well and they need to detox by EDTA/DMPS IV chelations.

  Summary:
     To help rebuild the cells of my body/brain so they would work right:
     I ate no: dairy/gluten/sugar/bad fats (no saturated fat/no hydrogenate fat/transfats...no olive oil or cashew monounsaturated fat, no flax seed oil/soy/heated oils/no MSG or nutrasweet, no highly allergic foods and ate organic. I didn't eat at restaurants, except the one that cooked special for me. (They used my pan and was careful for contamination.)
    I ate fish, organic vegetables, organic brown rice (instead of gluten), eggs, raw walnuts (crack open the shell to avoid gluten contamination on conveyor belts), lemon juice in reverse osmosis water and tea. I cooked by scratch and ate many raw vegetables. I did not buy premade Celiac food in boxes.
    I took Nature's Plus- Source of Life multiple or my longer supplement list which had special vitamins and sometime special vitamins for certain health issues. 
    I took these good oils: 2 fish oil (Omega 3), 2 Evening primrose oil (Omega 6), 2 Lecithin, 1 Krill oil, Phosphatidylserine/DMAE, CLA. (These good oils help cell membranes, thin blood and helped my brain.)
     I took 3mg of LDN (Low dose Naltrexone) to help block Celiac. It is like a miracle for Celiac people, but the Celiac diet is still needed, since it can't block 100% what a person eats.
     I took 5000 IU of Vit D3 (like sunlight) daily. A blood test over 2000 IU maybe needed.
     I took a 5 cc of Methylcobalamin Vit B12 shot every other day.
     I took Dairy free acidophilus (when stomach acid was low).
     I took HCl and Now brand- Super enzymes when I ate.
     I took Osteoprocare instead of dairy and ate organic brown rice instead of gluten.
     I did EDTA/DMPS IV chelations which unclogged blood vessels, lowered inflammation and removed heavy metals since my liver was not working well to do this. The IV chelations helped me get back my sugar digestion and other digestion. It helped chemical reactions in my body work right again. Oral EDTA did not help...was water soluble. I also took Cilantro capsules, MSM, glutathione push or capsules, Vit C, brown seaweed sometimes.
     I healed my gut lining with: Valerian, Slippery elm, green tea, VitA, glutamine, onion, LDN and no gluten/dairy.
     To raise oxygen in my brain/body: rhodiola, 5000mcg of biotin, the good oils, Vit B12 shot, coenzyme Q10, fish oil, ginkgo 120mg, Vit E and more..
     I took histidine, spirulina, fish oil and more to help my brain heal. (See my longer supplement list)

There are informational/recipe books and internet help on Celiac.
               There is alot more to learn...

Gluten free:  brown rice, sorghum, quinoa, buckwheat if not contaminated or GMO, amaranth etc.

 

Support:  

   Alternative medicine doctors can help: Celiac, rebuild/detox your body/brain cells with vitamins/herbs, give LDN, detox heavy metals with EDTA/DMPS IV chelations, give Vit B12 shots, give a thyroid dose that works, give bioidentical hormones, do hair tests and more. These doctors may help you feel 20 years younger.

Osteoprocare (dairy substitute) - You can sell it yourself. (see internet)

There is a Celiac Support group in some cities. They help people with Celiac recipes, questions, and give great support!
