Thirst?

Curious, has anyone had, as a symptom, periods of being incredibly thirsty, even though you've been drinking plenty of water? Sometimes I feel dehydrated. I don't have diabetes, I do know that can be a symptom of that condition.

On gluten I used to drink large amounts of water and sweat profusely. I went for several diabetes tests but each was normal. I had other symptoms of blood sugar issues. Sudden intense hunger, dizziness etc. Removing gluten resolved these to a large extent. I also pay more attention these days to eating plenty of protein which helps stabilise blood sugar and reduce insulin spikes.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.

      As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years...

      Well, it certainly seems reasonable to get checked for Crohn's since you have a family member with it and SIBO. You might also consider talking to your physician about a trial on an immunosuppressant, like prednisone, to see if numbers go down and symptoms subside. Sometimes, just interrupting the inflammatory cycle can effect a reset and put you on the road to health.

      I am wondering how you developed this supplementation regimen? Was it just through trial and error? Did you base this trial and error on blood tests or symptom improvement? It cost me $300 for the blood tests, so I would prefer not to do those regularly
