Can Hypnotherapy Be Used To Treat Coeliac’s Disease (allergy To Gluten/wheat)?

No. Hypnotherapy cannot heal the small intestine, or cause the absorption of grain protein in individuals with gluten-sensitive enteropathy.

Hypnosis can’t treat allergies or indigestion issues, not to mention how much worse Coeliac Disease is than just that.
Improper digestion needs to be addressed within your stomach, and telling your mind to change how something is digested won’t change the digestion… although you might be able to trick your mind into not feeling pain from the indigestion.

Also, for the sake of argument, if you could stop the reaction you got from Coeliac or allergies, it could make you very sick if not kill you… the reaction is how your body processes and/or eliminates the contamination from the allergens.

If You Have Celiac Disease Or Wheat Allergy, What Foods Do You Eat?

Maya — Wed, 13 May 2009 09:33:57 +0000

I was diagnosed with coeliac disease 7 years ago, and the diet is very nutritious and easy to follow. Basically, you are not really depriving yourself of anything, because, there are so many healthier alternatives for coeliacs. You can eat all fruits and vegies, fresh meats, glutenfree cereals, youghurts, icecream, dairy products, ohh, the list goes on. The only thing that you must avoid, obviusls, is anything that is wheat based, and anything that contains gluten. See, it is the protein in the wheat, called gluten, which damages the lining of a coeliacs stomach. If you have just been diagnosed, then, you have to become an expert at readind labels. Anything and everything you buy, be sure to read labels, as youd be surprised that wheat is in so many things. I didnt know till 2 years after my diagnosis that soy sauce had wheat in it, but you can buy the wheatfree soy sauce. Also, cornflour is wheat based. Be sure to buy (maize) cornflour. There are also alot of foods, including chocolate and junk food that contain glucose syrup (from wheat), but these foods are very safe for coeliacs, because what alot of them dont know is that, yes, glucose syrup is derived from wheat, but once it is processed, there is no detectable gluten found in the syrup whatsoever. I could go on and on, but if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I have been eating gluten free for over 5 years now. I started out eating vegetables, fruits, and non processed meats. The first thing I added was salad dressings and how to read the ingredients in them really got me started reading labels and how to find gluten. My favorite salad dressing is Annies Roasted Red Pepper Vinegarette.
The key for us is shopping and only bringing home gluten free things and then everything is ready to go and if you keep shopping for things that really taste good rather than just being passable, then your friends will even eat your foods without any problems. This weekend we are having two other couples spend the weekend and they will eat all my snack food without any problem.
About the only thing that we haven’t been able to replicate to an acceptable level is biscuits. And that is mainly because I made really good ones and haven’t spent much time trying to replicate them.
I eat a relatively low carb diet most of the time and find that George Stella’s two cookbooks are almost naturally gluten free.
Whole Foods carries a pretty good selection of gluten free things. As a matter of fact, our local whole foods store is having a gluten free tour of the store this Thursday(1/17).
I also regularly eat out and more and more restaurants will take care of gluten free diets. Carrabbas has a gluten free menu as well as many chains.
Wine is acceptable and Anheuser Busch has had a gluten free beer out for a year now called Redbridge.
If you have anymore questions feel free to contact me.
The important thing is to look at all the things you can have and not concentrate on what is off limits.

How Many Of You Have Celiac’s Disease Or A Wheat Allergy? What’s The Hardest Part For You?

Maya — Tue, 12 May 2009 21:32:24 +0000

I was diagnosed 6 months ago with Celiac’s disease. There have been alot of different struggles, but the hardest part for me is the fear of eating anywhere but home. I’d like to know what your experiences have been and how you’ve gotten through them.
Thanks!

I know how you feel. I was diagnosed in 2003. Eating out is challenging at times, but doable, even in an Italian restaurant (and there is some REALLY GOOD Italian food that is naturally gluten-free).
First, knowledge is your friend. Learn the safe and forbidden ingredients at the websites listed below. That way you’ll know what you shouldn’t even consider ordering.
Second, never be worried about saying to someone “I don’t mean to be difficult, but have a severe reaction to certain types of food …” as a preface for asking your friend to explain what’s in her “secret” recipe or for a waiter to check with the kitchen on whether you can eat something. Also, feel free to use that as an excuse to make substitutions, even if a waiter tells you substitutions aren’t allowed. Restaurants want your business and their managers know that you wil not visit them if you cannot eat their food.
Third, if you’re going to a social event where food will be served (weddings, business parties, etc.), there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating before you go and then just nibbling on safe foods while you’re at the event.
Finally, explore types of foods you’ve never tried before. Many cultures use no gluten-containing foods in many dishes. There are recipe and food blogs all over the web that can help you.

My mom and brother are both celiacs. My mom is also allergic to a few other things because she went on eating wheat for so long, not knowing what she had.
My mom makes me watch out for my brother when we go anywhere without her, I’ve learned to ask questions for him. Even at other peoples’ houses, I make sure that there is no wheat in his food or he’ll be sick for weeks.
At restaurants, ask questions about the food. Sometimes they may be able to make the food different for you, just quickly explain your situation and stress how important it is that no wheat/gluten touches your food.
Once when we went out to eat, my mom ordered something that would normally have bread crumbs on it. She told them no bread on hers, that she couldn’t have it. When they brought her food out, it had bread crumbs all over it. She had to explain again and make them get her a new one. Just the other day we went to a sushi place. I have been there before, my mom had not. She was asking me questions every few minutes, trying to make sure she wouldn’t get ‘glutinated’ as she calls it. In the end she and my brother were fine, no signs of glutination yet.
