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.

I hate that good people have bad things happen to them.

I hate that losing people hurts.

I hate that love is the biggest, most painful risk we can take.

But above all that, today, right this minute, after working out almost EVERY day this last two weeks...

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.

- how depressed i always get

- how i feel like an outcast when im around everyone else eating normal foods

- that no one around me understands the frustration with this disease

- that i dont feel like myself anymore

- weighing 88lbs. i really really hate it!

- when people say "i wish i had that disease so i could be skinny'

- paying $6 for a loaf of bread that tastes like cardboard

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...

      My only proof

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well. I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals. Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D. By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease. You got it from your mom or dad. Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well.  I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given this info before taking more of it.

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.

To Trents, We didn’t do any of the construction but did visit the job site quite often.  While getting the old house ready we stirred up a lot of dust and I’m sure mold but haven’t been back there for over a month.

      Thank you so much for your response! I have a follow-up appointment with her pediatrician next week, and also an appointment with her pediatric GI Dr. Your message gives me some ideas for questions to ask the doctors. My daughter went strictly gluten-free in January following her first endoscopy so I’m guessing her diet is pretty solid. She is compliant but also reliant on others to make her food (at school and home) but she didn’t have this problem prior to the gluten challenge when she went strictly gluten-free. It really makes sense to me that the gluten challenge inflammation hasn’t healed and I will be asking her doctors about nutritional issues. I ask for anecdotal stories because the research surrounding the gluten challenge seems to be inconsistent and inconclusive (at least what I’ve been able to find!). Thank you so much for your response!
