- knitty kitty replied to Trish G's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications7Fiber Supplement
@Trish G, I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well. But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small... -

ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal
@kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured... -

Thanks, I'm not a big fan of prunes but did add them back after stopping the Benefiber. Hoping for the best while I wait to hear back from Nutritionist for a different fiber supplement. Thanks again -

If you were wondering why milk protein bothers you with Celiac Disease. Commercial dairies supplement the cow feed with wheat, which becomes incorporated in the milk protein. Milk omega 6 to omega 3 ratio: Commercial Dairies: 5:1 Organic Milk: 3:1 Grass fed milk: 1:1 -

Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?
My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

@Trish G, I like dates, they have lots if fiber as well. But what I found helped most was taking Thiamine (in the form Benfotiamine which helps promote intestinal healing), Pyridoxine B 6, Riboflavin B 2, and magnesium, and Omega Three fats. The absorption of nutrients is affected by Celiac disease which damages the intestinal lining of the small intestines where our nutrients are absorbed. If you have constipation, where your body is rather pushing your food away and not interacting with it, the nutrients in the food are not being released and absorbed. You can develop deficiencies in all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the body to function properly. The B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished daily. Thiamine B 1 stores can run out in as little as three days. Constipation (or diarrhea or alternating) is one of the first symptoms of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine needs magnesium, Pyridoxine B 6, and Riboflavin B 2 to make the intestinal tract function. Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes. Thiamine provides the energy for nerve impulses to carry messages to the brain and back about digestion. Thiamine provides the energy for the muscle contractions which move your food through the digestive tract. High calorie meals containing lots of starches and sugars can deplete thiamine stores quickly because more thiamine is required to turn them into energy. Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? Correction of malnutrition is very important in Celiac disease. Thiamine, the other B vitamins and magnesium will help with constipation better than adding more fiber. What did your nutritionist recommend you take, besides just the fiber? -

@kpf, Were you eating ten grams or more of gluten daily in the month preceding your antibody blood tests? TTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. Ten grams of gluten per day for several weeks before testing is required to provoke sufficient antibody production for the antibodies to leave the intestines and enter the blood stream and be measured in blood tests. If you had already gone gluten free or if you had lowered your consumption of gluten before testing, your results will be inaccurate and inconclusive. See link below on gluten challenge guidelines. Have you had any genetic testing done to see if you carry genes for Celiac disease? If you don't have genes for Celiac, look elsewhere for a diagnosis. But if you have Celiac genes, you cannot rule out Celiac disease. You mentioned in another post that you are vegetarian. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies? The best sources of the eight essential B vitamins are found in meats. Do you supplement any of the B vitamins as a vegetarian? Deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is strongly associated with anemia which can cause false negatives on antibody tests. Fatigue, numbness or tingling in extremities, difficulty with coordination, headaches and anemia are strongly associated with thiamine deficiency. Other B vitamins that contribute to those symptoms are Riboflavin B 2, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9 and B12 Cobalamine. The eight B vitamins all work together with minerals like magnesium and iron. So your symptoms are indicative of B vitamin deficiencies. You can develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies just being a vegetarian and not eating good sources of B vitamins like meat. B vitamin deficiencies are found in Celiac due to the malabsorption of nutrients because the lining of the intestines gets damaged by the antibodies produced in response to gluten. -
