Blood Pressure

This as far as I know is not listed as sympton any where but when I was eating gluten my BP shot up to 140/98 and the docs all wanted to medicate. But everytime I tried the gluten-free diet my BP fell to safe limits. Infact this week the doc measured it at 100/70! I am not taking _any_ meds for it, but my doc is using it as a reason to believe celiac disease is the correct diagnoses.

Anyone else like this? Any good reason for it? Or am I just wierd, again? :)

Hi Vincent. My husbands blood pressure had gotten really low since he's been dx with Celiac (actually it was super low before dx and it's now come up and is now just low). His is normally around 100/58 to 100/60.

I guess he's weird too :lol:

I'm jealous of you 'weird people' :D --My BP started to creep up around 8 years ago. Now, I'm on 2 different meds. for it, the dr. just doubled one of them a month ago. I have to go in on Monday to see if it had an effect. Being gluten-free for over 8 months now has had no effect, for me, on my BP :angry:

Mine used to be really low, like 90/60 and since going gluten-free it has evened out to an average of 124/78. I am thinking that whether it gets higher or lower, if it is BETTER then the gluten-free diet is helping! right? I was really anemic, so I think that is why mine was so low. And I had chest pains a lot, so I have a home BP kit. That is cool that your doc is drawing lines and connecting the dots!

I've had unexplained high blood pressure for years. I had high bp at 20 when I was quite slim. Doctors couldn't explain it....I wasn't ever all that overweight...about 20 lbs max, and I was a very careful healthy eater and strong exerciser...and although I didn't want to take meds, I did agree to try verapamil on one occasion and hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic), and neither of these really helped lower it much. Doctors were very puzzled. I don't know that it has gone down all that much now, but maybe I haven't been gluten free long enough. I keep cheating a bit here and there. :(

I do know that a food allergy reaction will cause bp to spike or bottom out, so I do believe that celiac will do the same thing. Mine used to be quite low, now it is in the normal range. I was so used to the low, that the normal feels weird!

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?

      New onset constant gas

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel l...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing? Sorry I missed your posts. How's your thyroid? Did your Vitamin D stabilize? Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form. Also, Thiamine...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any...

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.
