Welcome. Are you just suggesting a topic for the chats?  Or did you have a question?  If you have some specific questions, you might want to make a new thread - maybe the post-dx section?

Hi, I would like to join this support group. I was told by my doctor that I was gluten sensitive. I have fibromyalgia and ibs and other medical issues and really would like to get healthy and need the help and support.

I would love chatting about this stuff.  My wife has become a Dictator in the kitchen.  I don't know what she can eat anymore.   Now she said she can't have bacon!!!! I give up.  Maybe I'll learn about food choices for her.  Good to know there's a chat for this.  I'm on it!

I have never seen a bacon with gluten. Just read the ingredients.

She can eat bacon.  Unless she has another reason like sodium nitrates.

Bacon is fine.  Having recently been diagnosed, I'm learning all this, too - as is my wife.  One of the things you may want to consider is to eliminate gluten altogether - for both of you.  It becomes easier (if it is just the two of you, that is).  Because the other thing you need to worry about is cross-contamination.  That is, she'll need to have her own peanut butter jar, butter/margarine stick or tub, etc . . . this is because if you were to dip into, let's say, a peanut butter jar - spread that on wheat toast (or white toast), and then re-dip the knife - BOOM - that jar is now contaminated because even trace amounts (crumbs) can cause problems.  This has been the hardest part of adherence for me (or I should say - for my wife).  I know - ugh!  Also - worth considering - my GI guy told me that everyone would be better off not eating gluten - because the human body does not do a good job digesting modern wheat / gluten / gliadin.  You may find that you'll feel better, too.  Just my 2 cents.  Good Luck (Boars Head Deli Meat is ok, too . . . but, again, it's the dreaded cross-contamination that you need to worry about (e.g., did they clean the meat slicer from use with other non-gluten meats?)

I'm in the eastern standard time zone.  I am 34 and was diagnosed with Celiac a few months ago.  I've also been diagnosed with Candida and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth by my holistic physician.  Finally, got the answers to the the root cause of my many health issues that I had for most of my life that all traditional doctors missed.  I am struggling everyday and need all the support I can get!

Hi - me too.  Just 2 months ago - ugh!  A bit older than you - I'm 48.  Probably had Celiac (I bet) for 15 years, easy.  Never even heard of it.  But was taking probiotics during that time.  Interested to hear about your candida and batercial overgrowth.  I've wondered about that myself - reading so much on Celiac in the last 2 months.  It seems so much of functional medicine is so far out in front of this issue, but traditional medicine trails behind (and my doctor is a traditional internist).  Testing, etc . . .

Hey, I'm so sorry I haven't responded sooner.  Life has been crazy and hectic with struggling with all this chronic illness and trying to take care of my very active 13 month old boy!  Yeah, I actually think I've had most of my health issues the majority of my life.  I was very fortunate to find a board certified holistic physician, who is awesome!  I had to go through a lot of testing to get all the answers: standard blood work covered by insurance, ALCAT test (food sensitivities), NutrEval test, and CDSA 2.0 (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis).  The CDSA showed the candida and the SIBO.  I also have a lot of food sensitivities and nutrient deficiencies, which is all common with Celiac.  Hope this info. may help and that you can find a physician to do this testing and get to the root of all your issues.

sounds like you have a great doctor.  I can't get my doctor to even return an email at this point (have only sent him two on the subject).  I wanted to get an MMA and homocysteine test - for B12 - and I get no reply. And my Vitamin D test (that I asked to have done) came back at 28 - which I think is low . . . but he said nothing about it.  OK.  hmm . . . I'm supplementing with D3.

Thank you to all of those who attended, and please let me know if you wanted to attend, but could not due to a technical issue, or because of the time the meeting was set. We are now working on the schedule for our 2nd meeting, and we should post it soon.

Darn! Sorry I missed this. Weekends are crazy busy with my kids and all of their activities. 

I can't seem to access the transcript. When I click on the pdf link, I get a message that says I don't have permission to view it.  :(

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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.

      My only proof

      @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.
