Celiac Disease Trigger Needed

This message is from Cochran on the SiliconeKids group. I asked

if she would share it with .

In my work with people, the first question asked, " are you allergic to

gluten and/or milk?' Few people are aware if they have allergy - what

I find most often is that people have varying degrees of gluten

intolerance rather than full-blown celiac disease. They have irritable

bowel with a variety of symptoms.

Milk is another true irritant to the bowel that is often overlooked.

These allergies can cause the body to crave rather than reject an

allergy irritant thus you hear people say, " oh, I love milk or bread " .

That is often a clue to the problem. For some raw milk is digestible.

The key is to identify which problem you have - many people figure it

out by the simple elimination diet test. The key is to know all the

foods in the list that contain gluten. This can be difficult because

gluten and dehydrated milk are often used in " box mix " type foods in

addition to the inordinate amount of chemicals.- especially MSG and

maltodextrins. You can go to an allergist and have a series of tests

for environmental and food allergies. Food allergies testing can be

expensive.

The issue of health in the gut begins with having healthy bacteria.

Many people have a gut full of candida/parasites and are not digesting

or absorbing their food. Gluten flattens the villi to prevents

absorption. I have found using products such as pau d' arco (taheeboo)

or ia and re-seeding the bowel with healthy bacteria key to

recovery of a healthy bowel. This is true even in the presence of

heavy metals.

Figuring out how to eat becomes especially tricky for people who eat

away from home routinely.

In my years of working with people, I have found removing the irritant

is key but healing may not spontaneously occur.

The work of D'Adamo with regard to blood types is significant.

Persons with O Blood type are often allergic to gluten. There is a

general theory that suggests the O blood type belongs to persons of

Paleo times. Our genetic code does not change - the gluten and milk

based foods were introduced into the diet post Paleo man therefore

this is the most likely person to exhibit signs. These signs can be

mental, physical or emotional.

As a school nurse, I saw children taken off milk or gluten begin to

learn and were taken off ADD/ADHD drugs.

The trans fatty acids can destroy the bowel too so determining the key

is not always simple. It is most often a combination problem therefore

takes time and thought to work out the problem.

The key is that an inflammatory process that is going on - If you have

inflammation the doctor can do a work-up to determine if you have

C-Reactive Proteins or abnormal immune response.

It now appears that most disease in the US is related to the

inflammatory process.

A key to reduction of inflammation is via the removal of of irritating

or offending carbohydrates and the addition of what are believed to be

necessary carbs. For some this is simply and for others much de-tox

must occur to get to health in the colon.

Thanks for the wonderful work you do sharing information to help others.
