I'm so glad you asked this. I just started too  3 days ago and I  already feel less weighed down and  less fatigued and my mood has improved significantly. I was wondering if it would improve my high blood pressure as well. After reading the comments, I believe it will. I also haven't have heartburn in 2 days which is  a record for me lol. Who woulda thunk it? wheat?  ..but I digress, thank you for asking this and now I'm off to find  gluten-free booze ^.^

I think in my case it shows a connection between gluten free vduet and hypertension. 

I got on captopril 6 months ago, because of evening spikes of diastolic blood pressure. 

I also had many Celiac  like symptoms:  weight loss, gas bloating.. Last month I started a gluten free diet without being tested for Celiac sensitive. And it seems like my stomach symptoms improved, but also the spikes of high blood pressure became less severe.. I am still taking the medication for high blood pressure but having better blood pressure readings.

This week, just to see what happens, I reintroduced gluten, and first bloating came back, now after three days of gluten, also blood pressure gone up..

Thank God I see the relation to the gluten free diet. I am going to stop gluten immediately.

Actually, after a couple of weeks on gluten free diet, I noticed it is not that difficult to quit gluten.. There are so many other options food wise. And big supermarkets have lots of gluten free products, including those to indulge yourself on some lazy days: pizzas and cookies..

I had been on BP meds for 13 years!!! Eating super healthy, gym 5 times a week, etc etc, I had seen about 13 internists and my BP as 100% uncontrolled no matter what. I had given up! Last time at the dr taking double dose of my BP meds, I was at 210/115!!!! Really had given up hope. Thank God my stomach started giving trouble and 5 days ago I decided to go 100% gluten free for the stomach issues, I had no idea my BP would normalize with GFD!!! My BP has been 104/66 and around there for the last 4 days!!!! Whaaaat!!???? It’s nothing short of a miracle. I am taking half a pill now!! Insane!!! Drs should try to check food allergies before anything!!!

Quite extraordinary @MarNar. I would have suggested you see a nephrologist, but quick.

Glad things normalized for you. Celiac is an intolerance, not an allergy, to gluten, but your point admonishing doctors to test such things is well taken.

Congratulations.

It is not unheard of.

Absolutely!  I was in a gluten-free diet for two years and decided maybe I had healed my gut and could begin to slip sometimes.  Things started falling apart!  Hair felt like straw, was falling out and many other thyroid issues.  So went to dr who tested thyroid yet said your blood pressure is way up.  We need to put you on something.  I said let’s wait for thyroid testing first.  Came back fine and showed no vitamin deficiency.  Blood pressure still growing higher daily as I was checking at home too.  I said give me a week or two to go back off gluten and see if that has any effect.  Within two days back off, bp was finally dropping.  By 7 days, it was back to normal bp.  I can’t go off the gluten-free diet again, as I’m now a believer it will kill me ir my health to do so.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
