Dose anyone know about Celaic Sprue?
472759
Well my mother is a celiac. Basically it is an intolerance to gluten, which is a protein found in most wheats and starch. The villi (nutrient absorption organs) within your bowel cannt absorb it and you may get severe bloating, pains, cramps, diaroheaor headcahe etc. Malnurtrition is also very common. If the diet is not adhered to, it can lead to Lymphoma of the bowel. I have a stack of info regarding this so feel free to email me:\nsmileitsleah@yahoo.com.au

My husband, who does research at the University of Hawaii med school, was telling me this weekend about a clinical study they saw a presentation on demonstrating how bitter melon helped control borderline diabetes in rats, which resulted in significant weight loss after their bloodsugar was stabilized.\nSo guess what we bought at the nutrition store this weekend? ;)

Hey, me too!!  I have sprue, food alleriges, food intolerance, hay fever and all kinds of allergic reactions to things.\nYou can develop a new allergy at any time of life, and remember that you have an "allergic disposition", like me, so you will just need to be careful and listen to you body.

Was a good program that answered part of your question on BBC 2 last week...not sure when it will be repeating but it's worth looking for...it was on our U.S. Discovery channel yesterday.  The driving force seemed to be food as other post have stated.

I encourage you to beware of professed doctors who give statements (e.g. "Prilosec is a dangerous drug. It is well documented that its use can lead to vitamin and mineral malasorption, intestinal dysbiosis and even a 'leaky gut syndrome'. " ) without any proof of where this "well known" data comes from.  These people will often make up statements like this in order to prove a point instead of trying to really help people.  \n\nWhile it is fine for your sister to avoid foods that exacerbate her gastric reflux, it does not mean she is allergic to them. At the same time, if she doesn't want to take the Prilosec, that is her decision too.  If she is truly "living in fear" of coming in contact with these agents then something more serious is going on and she should probably go see a psychologist to see if they can help her get to the root of her problems. I don't think the GERD itself is the most serious thing going on here.

I went to a consult of nutrisystem.  It was alittle expensive and to be honest me and my son tried some cheese curls that they offered my son would not even eat them and he was 2 yrs old. So if you have the money and like food with no taste go for it.

There are Ceiba trees at the ruins ... they have pods with many seeds surrounded by a dense mat of cottony fibers. Does this fit? Or it could be a legume (bean-like seed?) of some sort or a member of Bignoniaceae (flat winged seed?). If it is 9 months old it hasn't faced a full Canadian winter yet, I hope you are going to protect it!

It is not wheat and dairy that you have to careful of. You should avoid or cut down on the consumption of spicy food, fried food, chocolates and coffee for a while. I tried it and they disappeared. Try it!!

Here's a reference. Rather out of date, I'm afraid!\n\nhttp://www.cambridgecrofters.supanet.com/\n\nThey play traditional English, Irish and Scottish music for Ceilidhs and concerts.  The lineup is listed on that page, which is not up to date (I think there is one new member, one has died and one has left since then).\n\nThere are plenty of other links if you search in Google.\n\nThe contact is Dave Benford and his phone number is listed on the site referred to.

You don't say what country you are in. You are probably producing an antibody to the protein in the wheat. This protein is called gluten. If you're in the UK it called Coeliac disease - outside the UK it's usually called celiac disease. Remove gluten from your diet and you'll probably be OK. Gluten is in products made from Wheat, barley, rye and Oats. 1 person in 100 in the UK are said to have Coeliac. But one doctor tested 1000 of his patients and 35 had it. so that's more like 1 in 30. you don't always get all the symptoms you describe. left untreated - it can get nasty - so don't ignore it. get your doctor to send you to hospital for a blood test for that antibody. The test is called the anti-endomysial antibody test. Then get refered to a gastroenterologist if it's positive and a dietician. The specialist will help you join Coeliac UK if you're in the UK. Most countries have some kind of society to advise on diet. Coeliac is also hereditary - you could have inherited it or contracted it when you got an infection. You can pass it on to your children. It effects children and can stunt growth - not mine - I'm 6ft 2" tall! More info on the medical page of my website. Plus the other conditions you risk if you don't stick to your diet. Assuming you have it of course. Some very few people are allergic just to wheat - but it's very rare. You are more likely to be a coeliac - you have all the symptoms. Even beer isn't gluten free and lots of other stuff like soy sauce, so you need to join something like Coeliac UK to get their food list of Gluten -free foods. Gluten -free foods are available on a doctors prescription for diagnosed Coeliacs. Bread made from rice, biscuits( cookies) that are gluten free, pasta, pizza bases. Get a season ticket for your prescriptions in the UK - one for 6 months or a year - unless you get free prescriptions. Contact me if you need help and the blood test is positive.
