More and more, T1 is being diagnosed along WITH T2. T1 is basically

an autoimmune disease ... the body produces antibodies to the

pancreas and destroys it (or, in this case, the insulin producing

part of it). Often the antibodies are produced because of an

IgA allergy ... in rats, casein and gluten both reliably cause T1.

Also zonulin, which produces leaky gut, causes T2 in rats.

In humans, if they know the offending allergen, removing it

from the diet causes the antibodies to be no longer produced.

Unfortunately, most docs don't check ... they SHOULD check

before the pancreas is destroyed. I feel for her! They should

also check for tumors and such.

I have heard that autoimmune disfunctions can be successfully treated by

removing the toxic load from the cells and providing glyconutrients to rebuild

the immune system.

Glutathione precursers can be used to reduce toxic load:

If the IgA comes out positive, that's good enough. Chances

are if she is that sick and gluten is the problem, it'll

be positive. That doesn't test for casein, or the

other allergens, but gluten is by far the most common issue,

I think.

However, have her doc give her the numbers, and do a

" total IgA " . If her total IgA is low, then the test is

meaningless and they have to do a Ttg test or IgG.

If her total IgA is, say, 15 and the cutoff is 20, she

doesn't have celiac but she is still gluten intolerant.

(some docs will say, if the level is 15, that it is

" negative " which isn't the case, a level if 15 is still

not good).

As for her weight and strength ... get her on coconut

oil! It is far easier to digest, doesn't affect insulin

levels.
