T7 Nerve damage


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

So I was seeing my chiropractor for my monthly adjustment (can not see weekly due to funding so we spaced my appointments monthly) to fix some issues with my spine. They did a type of electrical nerve impulse reading using these sensors they placed along my spine. Anyway it showed heightened activity on most and normal on a few...but my T7 was showing like 15% what it should be reading wise. They said this could be nerve damage but went on to ask about my stomach and pancreas as these would be effected by it.......sort of dawned on me...I do not produce enough pancreas enzymes and my stomach randomly has dumping issues where it holds up, does not handle solids sometimes, and randomly needs stuff to regulate the acids.  I have done nothing to outwardly damage that nerve, nor have they noticed anything in the X-rays on that one. most my issues are lower back and neck. Anyway I am wondering of my gluten ataxia with my immune system attacking my nervous system might be responsible? Like a targeted response to gluten exposure? Trying to figure what what might have caused it.   Treatment wise it being a chiropractor they are sure they can fix me with more adjustments.....sort of makes me roll my eyes but at least I have some kind o indicator to a few issues.

Interested to find this out. Have seen many chiro for T issues. Granted had head on car accident but no nerve pain until Celiac. Also have dry stomach lackibg digestive enzymes. Not a coincidence when i read members issues. Nerve pain is more of an issue specifically upper body use of arms and shouldets. than malabsorption 10 years after gkuten free.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
