Cristina and Scott,

If you continue to have high Iron levels and hemogloblin levels......try some Turmeric.

I have taken it in the past.....not knowing it's connection....but since I have this condition too I have begin studying what else I can do....my ferritin levels went down at the time....but I didn't think much about it at the time.....now I  know there is a connection......

Turns out Turmeric can help lower ferritin and iron levels in those who have artificially high levels...

See this research on it entitled "Iron Deficiency Anemia Due to High-dose Turmeric"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6414192/

You will probably have to play with it a little to see how much you need and adjust up or down accordingly....

Might be better than giving them blood every month etc....

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Posterboy,

I have the opposite problem.  I have normal hemoglobin after 3 years on the gluten-free diet (I used to have low hemoglobin)and high iron supplements but still struggling with ferritin of 9 sometimes 5 (normal range is 15 to 275). Can someone help? I deal with a lot of fatigue.  And I am.not able to raise my ferritin levels.

Hello Posterboy Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this down for me, and to share the links.  Not being scientific I have to admit I need to look at them in greater depth, and pro

I'm confused about what exactly the topic is. Slightly above or below normal is usually nothing to be concerned about. The hematocrit (percentage by volume of red blood cells in your blood) range for

      Blood results

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By JessicaAnderson · Posted

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
