Hey, thanks! Well to cut a long story short my blood tests came back negative, but for a number of reasons including the fact my mums came back negative first I decided to try and cut gluten out to see if it helped. It made such a big difference 4 years ago that I've never really looked back... I was told thta if I ever wanted to be officially tested I'd need to eat gluren again for 6 months to see in results? That's a good idea though, I do kepe meaning to do elimination but it never seems a good time haha! Thank you
It it came back negative it is impossible for you to have the disease unless it was a false negative (which is very rare) sounds like you have gluten allergy or intolerance or nightshade allergy/intolerance. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, and you have to be carrying the gene for it for you have to it. In all honesty there is never a good time for elimination diet but it would be important for your health in the long run, because statistically cutting out gluten when you don’t need to actually can have some pretty serious long term health consequences and risks. The good news about intolerances is that you can micro dose everyday and build up your tolerance to them - I.e build up the gut flora that actually allows you to digest those foods easily. Night shade allergy is obviously not curable, but you need to cut out potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, capsicums etc (night shades) rather than gluten
Nightshade allergy presents very very similar to celiac/gluten intolerance/ or allergy. And often those with celiac also have nightshade issues too unfortunately. If you can’t get to dietician you can do it yourself, there are some good guides around, but you must be strict. That is, if you don’t follow the plan exactly and eat a food group that is not allowed that day, you do have to start from scratch. But to be honest, and maybe we have different stats here in Germany (I know Aus has one of the highest allergy rates in the world) it is not that common for people to have real intolerances and allergies. Most of the time it is due to gut flora issues (low microbe count), and bad food hygiene practices (such as not chewing) rather than a true food intolerance - influencers and Instagram have hyped this far far too much.
as Sarah would say! Most English speaking countries speak British English.
Thanks. Everyday we learn something new. Now I know the difference.
You’ve literally vlogged it and he didn’t.
