- trents replied to Jessica H's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms13Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)
Cutting out major sources of gluten in one's diet is pretty easy. It's the hidden sources where it shows up in products you would never expect to find wheat in (like soy sauce and Campbell's tomato soup, most canned soups, many pork n' bean products), medications, supplements, oral hygiene products, etc. that are the things that trip you up. And then there... -

Hi, @Zuma888, Hashimoto's commonly occurs with Celiac Disease. Those HLA genes code for other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac. Hashimoto's and Celiac overlap. People with Hashimoto's produce anti gluten antibodies, so a gluten free diet is definitely a must. It may be safe to assume you've got Celiac Disease as well. People with Hashimoto... -

Struggling to get into a good pattern
@Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand. Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins. Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption. Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg). Take one at...

I also have 1000mg vit d pills but i do not absorb fats and when i first tired them i got a severe migraine for three days. Once i no longer taste fats or foods linger in mouth and throat I will start taking the vitamin d pills. thanks again, really appreciate the info, I have a drs appointment in a few weeks and will look into a dietician.

Hi, @Zuma888, Hashimoto's commonly occurs with Celiac Disease. Those HLA genes code for other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac. Hashimoto's and Celiac overlap. People with Hashimoto's produce anti gluten antibodies, so a gluten free diet is definitely a must. It may be safe to assume you've got Celiac Disease as well. People with Hashimoto's often have deficiencies in Vitamin C and Thiamine. Vitamin deficiencies are common in Celiac Disease. A deficiency in Thiamine can manifest as Gastrointestinal Beriberi with digestive upsets and changes in bowel habits. Your burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days after working out may be due to a lack of Thiamine and B vitamins. If you don't have sufficient Thiamine, lactic acid can build up in muscles causing that burning sensation. Anybody remember Jane Fonda's workouts? Her catch phrase was "Feel the burn" meaning work out so hard, lactic acid builds up causing the burning sensation. Thiamine and the B vitamins are needed to clear that lactic acid and repair muscle damage. Supplementing with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and magnesium would be beneficial to help you feel better. Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are inaccurate. Take Thiamine and B vitamins, then look for health improvements. If not needed or absorbed, excess B vitamins are easily excreted in urine. -

@Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand. Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins. Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption. Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg). Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex. Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep. I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck. I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum! -
Hi trents, just an update to my post, I had my follow up with my gastroenterologist. Scheduled my endoscopy for July 17th and got my biopsy results back July 28th. I have my official diagnosis now and I do in fact have Celiac disease. I'm slowly starting to switch my diet over to completely gluten free. My goal is to be completely gluten free after Christmas this year. I know I should be stopping completely now, but I am have a really hard time with change so my doctor told me I could do this gradually if it was easier for me. Now I know though and can make myself better with simple steps, no medication and have peace of mind knowing what I have is not the end of the world. Thanks again for your support. I've learned a lot over the last couple of months.
