It would also be helpful for us to have a choice of supplements name brands and specifics from which to choose or  ask our doctor or pharmacy to order.
Also, I have found corn cause a lingering inflammatory problem or more so quietly filters an inflammatory response throughout my whole body system. A build of corn in my system leads to skin welts or sensitivity to detergents and an overall inflammation leading even to bladder and kidney problems. It is just much quieter than gluten. Removing corn is difficult as it is in 97% of all grocery store items . But the removal of corn allows my body a rest and a chance to be normal. I understand a clinical study found this corn problem in 50% of celiacs so I imagine it is quietly destructive to may people. What can be done to make this more well known, listed as an allergen, researched as a possible culprit for many diseases?<br/><br/>

Experiencing Sjogrens for me signals gluten has found it's way into my system. Once the source of gluten exposure is eliminated, so is Sjogrens. Ingesting DHEA, which may contain trace gluten excipients, could dangerously camouflage the true source of the problem. People with silent CD are especially at risk.<br/><br/>

Also who would you go to on finding out your hormonal or adrenal insufficiency that may be adding to celiac problems and Sjogrens syndrome--I have both as well as fibromyalgia, osteopenia, cysts on ovaries, left sided pain when eating, right lower quad pain most recent symptom, as well as edema, fatigue, all over body & joint pains, cysts on the base of spine, memory loss, upper and lower extremity tremors, tingling, numbness, and another new symptom of left breast itching, and bilateral severe breast pain, spinal pain, hip pains, go from diarrhea to constipation & back again, fevers, cold intolerance, fatigue, malaise, migraines. rashes that itch terribly, unexplained edema that diuretics do not help, occasional blisters on feet when take hot bath and on fingers. Huge amt of stress, constand nausea, some vomiting, appetite loss, hypoglycemia, man that's all I can thing of right now but I know there's more. Can the hormonal imbalance effect all this as well as the celiac or is the celiac my major problem here?<br/><br/>

The pill is also associated with decreased libido, even permanently after the pill is discontinued, which makes me wonder if it does permanent damage to the androgen hormone production in women (required for libido).<br/><br/>
