dysautonomia

Last year, I was tentatively diagnosed with a type of dysautonomia.  In a nutshell, it makes simple things complicated in that the body either over or under reacts to stimuli of all types.  I'm curious as to whether this has made my reactions to tiny amounts of gluten much worse that they should be.  Anyone else supersensitive and have dysautonomia?

After reading the symptoms of dysautonomia they sound remarkably like the neurological symptoms associated with celiac disease, which, in those affected, can lead to gluten-induced ataxia, neuropathy, seizures, etc.:

Is it possible you were misdiagnosed with dysautonomia, and instead have the neurological type of celiac disease? If you had both it would certainly be very difficult for you to differentiate between gluten cross-contamination and symptoms of dysautonomia that might be caused by things other than gluten.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.
