- knitty kitty replied to xxnonamexx's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease44My journey is it gluten or fiber?
If you haven't noticed a difference yet, bump up your Thiamax. Add in another Thiamax with breakfast and lunch. Increase the NeuroMag as well. You can add in another Benfotiamine, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Taking more is fine. I had to bump mine up several times when first starting. It's a matter of finding what... -

Insomnia help
Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Taking more is fine. I had to bump mine up several times when first starting. It's a matter of finding what works for you. Everyone is different. Stick with it. Some of the health improvements are very subtle and gradual. Keep going! You're doing great! -

Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy. When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again. I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine. Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness. Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning. Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia. Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too. Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems. I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful. The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract. After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet. It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables. I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods. Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food. B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine. Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system. Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine. Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods. I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.
