The odd thing is that I can tolerate spelt just fine. When I eat wheat, I get gasey and bloated every time. How is it that I can have spelt, but not wheat. What is the ingredient in Wheat that I am having problems with. Also, I started taking some Standard Process supplements and started having the gasey symptom and found out it had de-fatted wheat germ in it. Can anyone offer anything about this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27012455.post-1147537616405125132006-05-13T09:26:00.000-07:002006-05-13T09:26:00.000-07:00Hey, Barbara!

And the medical confusion, leading them to mistakenly diagnose celiac as emotional problems, is quite common, as the symptoms naturally influence your psyche. Talk about mind-body connection - digestive issues influence your mood almost instantly.Hadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679534968114656918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27012455.post-1147531251096051922006-05-13T07:40:00.000-07:002006-05-13T07:40:00.000-07:00I have a friend who has celiac, and she suffered f...I have a friend who has celiac, and she suffered for years before one doctor, out of the many she had gone to see, thought to do the simple blood test. <BR/><BR/>Then, all of her digestive issues suddenly became clear. But, she suffered for years, basically of malnutrition to a greater and lesser degree, simply because her body could not digest food, because her reactions to gluten had degraded her digestive system to such an acute degree. <BR/><BR/>It is scary stuff, and it is apparetly quite normal for sufferers from celiac to go undiagnosed for years, and to have puzzled doctors misdiagnose them as having Crohn's disease, or IBS or even worse, to say it is an emotional problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27012455.post-1147071952286958092006-05-08T00:05:00.001-07:002006-05-08T00:05:00.001-07:00Oh, and hurrah on the sushi rebellion, Anat!

It's pleasant to hear that one can improve symptoms of autism with a gluten-free diet. And when you get used to it, it's not that difficult. The most tricky thing one has to deal with is usually to find solutions for the absence of the quintessential sandwich - like a salad, or some steamed grains and vegetables, in a plastic container.Hadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679534968114656918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27012455.post-1147008105171071162006-05-07T06:21:00.000-07:002006-05-07T06:21:00.000-07:00Gluten intolerance is one of the more thought-prov...Gluten intolerance is one of the more thought-provoking suspects in the world of <A HREF="http://www.autismndi.com/" REL="nofollow">autism research</A>, as well. <BR/><BR/>Having read a book on the subject by Karyn Seroussi (who, with Lisa S. Lewis, runs the above-referenced website), I put into practice a GF/CF diet for my own particular marvel-of-autism. He only stayed on it for three months (a visit to his father ended the participation) but the response was quite visible: all of his tics ("stims", or self-stimulating behavior: hand flapping, pulling on his left ear again and againa and again and..., much of the rocking or vestibular-system, etc.) disappeared. They have been slow to return - some have not returned at all. <BR/><BR/>With autism spectrum disorders hitting more and more children, the gluten issue really needs to be researched further. <BR/><BR/>(And yeah, gluten-free is hard to do... ...but so is dealing with a kid with autism...)Shunrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016600058016957827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27012455.post-1147008054349976562006-05-07T06:20:00.000-07:002006-05-07T06:20:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Shunrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016600058016957827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27012455.post-1147005662076364112006-05-07T05:41:00.000-07:002006-05-07T05:41:00.000-07:00hmmm, food (no pun intended) for thought on wheat ...hmmm, food (no pun intended) for thought on wheat issues. i hadn't thought of that angle lately, but i might try cutting out various wheat products and test the affects! <BR/>great job keeping up with the blog & having more yummy recipes. i laughed loudly at the yom haatzmaut BBQ description - we totally rebelled here in haifa and had sushi instead. oh, and yes, i hear you on how different vegetables look when they are straight from the farm - i can't remember which vegetable it was, but i was SO surprised that it grew on a stalk - i'd never seen it like that. <BR/>anyways..... keep it comin'! <BR/><BR/>anatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
