Hey all

 

This is the first time ive logged in, in about 10 months maybe could be longer. I decided i was reading everyday about being sick and it wasnt healthy but i would like to thank all who helped me with my previous threads, particually the one about my girlfriend making me sick that was a long saga but its sorted now. After getting over the first 6 months living life with my separte cultury,plates and 40 sponges i use a week is just normal and this is the healthiest ive been ever. So hopefully i can help others who are going through the same process, i would say its been a good few months since i was properly glutened actually the last time was when i tried that dominos gluten free :/ bad times.

 

Not a real point to this thread just wanted to show my appreication and a thank you.

Hi Chris. It's great that you're feeling better and dropping by to help people like me! I know what it's like reading about your symptoms/diagnosis all the time... when I was first dx with visual snow, I subscribed to the Facebook group and wanted to learn everything about it. Eventually I knew I wasn't going to find any answers (the cause of the symptom is unknown) and was just making myself more worried and anxious reading about it. Awesome to hear that you are on your journey to healing!

Thx all i think its came down to my stubborness it has helped alot, eating the same food everyday and going through 20 sponges a week seems mad to others but its what we must do. I think my sentivity is still high but much better than it was, going on holiday next week could be a real challenge but bringing lots of food to cook.

 

Thx Diana hope your well

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
