I Am New To This...


Lori

Recommended Posts

Lori Newbie

I have been dealing with what I thought were just food allergies for 3 yrs.. I have not yet gotten the actual diagnosis back from my Doctor regarding my blood exam. After having been told that I was likely a Celiac candidate and after reading alot of info, I have come to a fairly firm conclusion that I have this.. Is there anyone who would msg me back and have time to talk about the symptoms and other aspects of this illness?

My symptoms are:

Bloating after eating wheat or gluten or even dairy, Nausea almost all the time like I am pregnant, (but Im' not), I have severe constipation most of the time, I have specks of white on my toe nails, and I bruise esaily and they don't go away for quite a long time, I am also tired all the time and feel like I am never rested.. I just quit my job as a n Aesthetician because I could not keep up with everything due to the aching of my body and the regular responsibilities of 3 children. I am not sure about so many aspects of how this is affecting my life. I have always been very health conscious and I am in good shape for the most part but I am looking for some more info about this. Thankl you so much and i look forward to hearing back on this post. L :)

Lori, I would be happy to. I also have three children and my symptoms were similar to yours. You can either email me directly (usinf the email link below) or post more specific questions here. There is just too much info to just jump in without a starting point. :blink:

Hope to here from you soon.

God bless,

Mariann :)

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate
