In 2005 or so I was diagnosed by stool test as positive for gluten intolerance, or Celiac. The symptoms I had at the time were feelings of early fullness when eating and constipation, as well as anxiety and overall poor health. I went on a gluten free diet which improved my symptoms almost immediately. Was on this strict gluten free diet for 3 years until I came across an alternative energy-based treatment for allergies called NAET. (naet.com.) I’ve talked about NAET in a previous post. After several treatments for a wide array of allergens I was re-tested by muscle testing and found to be free of the gluten intolerance. Not scientific proof per say, but I started eating gluten again and was free of the symptoms I had in the past.
I’ve been eating gluten for a few years again now and just recently had an endoscopy for some other stomach problems I’ve been having. They took a biopsy (tissue sample) and tested for Celiac and H.pylori. They both came back NEGATIVE. So to recap, in 2005 a stool test showed positive for Celiac and in 2009, just this past month, I had a biopsy that was negative for Celiac. Proving that Celiac is NOT an incurable disease, but a curable one!
(It is possible, I believe, to be cured by treatment with NAET or BioSET, but it could also be that going off gluten for 3 years allowed my gut to heal. So, going off gluten for a time may be all one needs and not necessarily to be off gluten forever. )
I was really glad to find this blog. I know personally a couple of people who were not officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease, but knew they had it. Neither wanted to undergo the biopsy. I was diagnosed with CD in May 2007 and have been aggressively gluten free since August after the biopsy. I am now Undergoing NAET treatments. I have slept better in the past 4 weeks than I have in years and the restless legs which I’ve had with increasing severity in the past few years is only a minor problem at this point. Most people who scoff at NAET have not tried it. At least that’s my perception after research of many weeks, before deciding to give it a go. I’m blogging my experience because there are so many who say NAET will NOT successfully treat Celiac I want a record of my experience regardless of the outcome. Already I feel better, but it still remains to be seen if this time next year I’ll be enjoying a sandwich from Carl’s Jr
Hi Juanita,
Thanks for the reply. Please do put a link–that would be great. I’ve heard so much negative, but mainly from people who haven’t tried NAET–they just decided it’s weird and left it at that. Frankly, it is out of the usual scope of treatment, but as far as I am concerned, it’s scientific, and also I believe it Biblical because the energy, vibrations in the universe, etc is in line with what we know about creation.
I am really excited about this although I have adjusted relatively well to a GF lifestyle. To be well again after years of being sick was worth it. But, I’m all for feeling completely well.
May I post a link to your blog on my favorites??? I’d like people who read my experience to know I’m not just lucky
Hi Juanita,
I have the grain NAET treatment last week, and I’ve tried a bit of gluten in several forms.
So far no major symptoms other than a burning feeling around my lips and in my gut. I don’t know if this is a gluten reaction or not.
I’ve had a couple of VERY stressful weeks and wonderful if the burning in the gut is stress-related.
When you first tried gluten again after NAET did you have any side affects?
I can deal with what I have experienced, but worry about causing internal damage of which I am not aware until it’s too late. Any other information that would be helpful?
Lisa,
For me, I think I might have had to treat for gluten a couple times (one treatment and one “booster” I believe) and I know I had to treat it along with some emotional treatments. At least one emotion and I can’t even remember which one though it most likely was anxiety, panic, or fear. It seemed like for a while I still had symptoms while eating the gluten because I was still afraid to eat it, even though I was muscle testing strong for it. Then on an appointment to treat something else my doctor re-tested me for gluten again and I was strong and he asked me if I’d been eating it and I had and I didn’t even realize I had been eating it and nothing was happening. So I was fine after that. It’s like it just took a little while for my brain and body to believe in it. Then one day it just clicked. So my advice is just to keep going. Maybe test it with emotions.
It’s been a couple years, maybe three, since then and on my most recent endoscopy the doctor found no sign of Celiac. However, I think it’s still better for me if I eat gluten in moderation (as for most people probably) because of the effects on blood sugar and insulin. If I could do it, I would take grains out my diet completely and I’m sure my hormones would be better for it. But I can’t! I’m hoping to go back to my NAET guy again soon to have a check-up on the things I treated in the past just to be sure I’m still strong on everything. From what I’ve heard, it is possible to start reacting to something again during times of high stress on the body. I do have a vial kit and sometimes have my husband treat me, but I think I’d like to go back to my doctor soon. Having issues with blood sugar and insulin that I’m wondering if are connected to an allergy…

Juanita,
Thanks for your reply. I too wonder if I’m “doing a number on my head.” It’s so hard to know.
According to my practitioner, NAET should need no follow ups, but there may be other things come to light that will need to be addressed.
I am pretty sure I will need another grain treatment tomorrow which is really not a big deal. There were two treatments previously (of the basic 15) I didn’t get a strong clear the first time.
How did you deal with knowing you had no external symptoms yet we all know there may be no external symptoms while internally damage is occurring? I suppose that is my biggest concern, but I do not relish the idea of another biopsy. I’ve had 3 in the past 3 years which is 3 more than I’d have chosen.
Any other tips, ideas, information you have that would help me through this would be much appreciated.
Thanks again!
i was diagnosed with coeliac disease over thirty five years ago, and kept to a gluten free diet. i went through a naet programme about five years ago, and found i was able to eat gluten with no side effects – nausea, headaches and bloating. i did, however, go for regular ‘top-ups’ when i felt it was necessary. a year ago, i was recommended by my m.d to see a gastroenterologist, and they took a biopsy of my small intestine, and it was confirmed i am still coeliac, and my small intestine was compromised. however, i am returning again to the naet program, as i feel very strongly it helped me. as i am planning to travel to europe for a couple of months, i need to be able basically keep to a gluten free diet, but
not want to get nuerotic about eating gluten, and do not want to spend three days being sick if i inadvertently eat gluten. anything that helps my immune system can only be positive. as coeliac disease is a physical problem, the gluten kills off the villae in the small intestine, logically, naet won’t work, but i think in my situation, it did work for a couple of years, and i am definitely willing to give it another try.
Hi Juanita
how are you doing with your gluten intolerance? just checking in after following your blog, but it has been a long times since you wrote. Also- what do you think is the difference between bioset and naet that it doesn’t take the 25 hour avoidance? is it the points they use after the treatment or the order of the vials? or something else? and also with allergy antidotes do you need to do the avoidance?
thanks in advance
