Nini,

Sorry to go off topic, I know you are having personal problems, but I'm wondering about Chiropractors. What exactly are they used for? Do you believe they get results?

Again, sorry you are having work problems.

yes I believe that Chiropractors get results, chiropractic is usually thought of as treatment for whiplash after car accidents. That is only one of the things they are good for, also for headaches, back pain, neck pain... I believe that they are also good for general well being, keeping the nervous system free from blockage, the nervous system can function better.

HI

MAYBE WE SHOULD START A THREAD ON --"HOW CHIROPRACTORS HAVE HELPED US"...THOSE THAT WANT TO CAN START THEIR OWN THREAD OF WHY THEY HATE THEM.

MINE IS THE ONLY EXPERT ON celiac disease THAT I HAVE SEEN. MY INTERNIST & GI TOLD ME TO CONSULT HER ON THE DIET AS SHE KNEW MORE ABOUT IT THAN THEY DID...GIVEN HOW SHE'D HELPED ME OVER THE 11 YEARS I'VE GONE TO HER.

IT TOOK 3 YEARS TO GET UP THE COURAGE TO SEE HER AS I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THEM. THAT BEING SAID. ' THERE ARE GOOD ONES WHO ADJUST EACH PATIENT IN A DIFFERENT WAY BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR NEED' JUST AS THERE ARE BAD DR.S THERE ARE ALSO BAD CHIRO'S.

MY SWIMMING TEACHER OF 5 YEARS BEGGED ME TO SEE HER.

SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE AFTER DX'D AND PERSONALLY 'DEGULTEN MY KITCHE'

I WOULDN'T BE WALKING TODAY WITHOUT HER.

JUDY IN PHILLY

PS NISILA--I THINK THE IDEA OF A REHAB PLACE MIGHT BE GOOD. BET YOUR CHIRO WOULD GIVE A GOOD REFERENCE...I FORGET --DO YOU HAVE A DEGREE OR CERTIFICATION..I HAVE A FRIEND WHO JUST WENT FOR MASSAGE THEARPIST AND IS SO BUSY SHE'S EXHAUSED..I KNOW THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU SOME WHERE OUT THERE.

Nini I don't know anything about your occupation so I can't offer any suggestions. There is a better job out there and this may be a sign to start looking. Good luck and hope all works out.

I hate Doctors who request your phone call and don't get back with you for four days, and then it's their nurse. So, anything new that may have happened in those 4 days I have to leave a new message for, which won't be returned for 4 days by his nurse again...

I HATE THE CITY....my country doctors were back with me in 2 hours and they knew my name, my history, and gave me great advice even though I'm seeing someone else...these doctors here I'm just a number or something, obviously not someone they really care about...AAGGHH!!!

I just want to feel good!! or really I want someone to tell me it's not gluten it's something entirely different because I could only afford a day and a half worth of gluten free food....ughhh, I hate this!

I HATE MY JOB!

Okay -- here goes (deep breath) :

I hate the fact that my boyfriend of 5 1/2 years and I were about to get engaged in January and, were it not for the sudden revelation about all this Celiac stuff for me and his dissertation defense would still be about to get engaged, or, in fact, engaged, but NO -- he had to go and freak out and actually move out of our shared house and now I need a roommate to cover the last few months of the lease -- not to mention the fact that I'm writing a dissertation as well AND my boyfriend is on the job market looking for an academic job which will take him far away and possibly even make it impossible to heal the rifts in our relationship -- even though we were both ready to take the jump towards marriage together -- because now I'm having second thoughts about writing my dissertation long-distance just so I can move to be with him RIGHT NOW and am thinking that -- if we get back together I'll need at least six months in town here to write before I can move -- (and he's just now said he wants us to date each other again -- last night after three and a half weeks of hellish moving out frenzy and his total refusal to own any of his anger about this. I hate that we've created another rift in the trust between us.

Despite all of this, I'm feeling fabulous and getting a lot of work done and spending time with friends -- which is the ironic other result of finally figuring out what was wrong with my health.

I'm finally feeling pretty good again, so I can take most of these things with a grain of salt, but it doesn't hurt to vent a litlle here:

I hate when my department head tells me he understands my restricted diet because he's a vegetarian and I can't bless him out because he's my department head.

I hate that immediately after this he tells me we're ordering pizza for a departmental dinner.

I hate being reduced to eating a salad so often when eating out.

I hate being so skinny and feeling guilty for hating that I am so skinny because all my other friends are trying to lose weight. I really hate that I have a friend who is trying to lose a substantial amount of weight and we often go to the gym together, and I just have that feeling that I make her feel bad.

I hate that my 'disease' becomes the topic of conversation at nearly dinner/party/bar when I meet someone new. That whole Now why can't you eat grains -what a freakish body you have-tell me more syndrome. Particularly when my other friends could probably recite my lines for me.

I hate the stinking inconvenience of a gluten free diet.

I hate most of all that my mother almost assuredly have Celiac but won't get tested. It worries me all the time.

I hate nausea. Really. I hate it. Three straight years of it constantly, and somehow I think that should be exempt from ever vomiting again.

Well, I guess now that I've purged myself here, I should count my blessings on the love,love,love page...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link... Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6476019/

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
