The Mystery Of "that Little White Pill"

Has anyone found out what that little white pill is that the naturpath people give? I know we hashed this out before but I need the little white pill!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having terrible brain fog and I just am not remembering anything and I get mixed up in my words and thoughts. It's scary to be that this.

They took me off my thyroid meds as rare as it may seem my thyroid started to function some what again.I'm trying to take armour but I have to take my pulse to make sure its not above 85, now it seems my pulse is alway 85 or 86 so I can't take my thyroid med. Evening it's down but when I take the amour at night I'm ready to fly and then I get no sleep.

I know the mystery pill many don't believe in but I know it made my foggy brain function better.

I have never been this confused in my life....

I don't know anything about a "little white pill", but I know some things that might help you....

I find that drinking a red bull really helps with the brain fog, post glutening. It has a lot of B vitamins and taurine and it helps you focus.

Also orange juice and zinc tablets help. I've been known to chew spearmint and cinnamon gum when I need to focus (ie: before a test)

Are you talking about Homeopathics? There are a lot of different kinds of Homeopathic remedies, for many different things, They come in little white pills, tiny white pellet balls and liquid tinctures. You can usually find them at most Health Food Stores. Newton's Labs is one company that does the liquid tinctures. I use one for allergies from a company called Boiron.

this is a company I use a lot.

Be patient with your system while it is tring to get used to the decrease in your thyroid med. Celiac can mess with our thyroid and you should take this improvement as a sign you are healing. You sound like you may also be getting some gluten or cross contamination from somewhere, check everything and most particularly any meds you may take. Is there anything you are working with that is new or different, even something as innocent looking as white glue can be a problem. I hope you feel better soon.

Mamaw, even though the 'little white pills' all look the same, the ingredients aren't the same. There are hundreds of different homeopathic remedies. It's impossible for us to know exactly which one you have tried before that worked for you.

For instance, I use one called Sepia, which works amazingly for a stomach ache after eating something wrong. But it certainly wouldn't help you right now. You need to find out specifically which remedy you're looking for. You may need to see a homeopath or naturopath to find out.

Thanks for all the support. I haven't changed anything except for the dam thyroid pill. I was doing wonderful for almost a year on the cytomel. I know I should be happy that I'm only a handful that the thyroid started working but for me its up & down. I feel like I'm on a ferris wheel. I'm tired , b%$@#y, sad, no patience and whatever other thing you can think of I'm experiencing it.

I was so discussed today that my pulse was a tad on the high side that I just took the amour and said the hell with it. About half hour later I became my high energy self and did a hundred things including making gluten-free graham crackers. This evening I'm still feeling okay. I guess now its just the thyroid. It sure can make one feel bad.

Also I have noticed that my fibromyglia has gained strength since going off the cytomel, as well as my rosacea. Headaches also have began once more .

I'm supposed to take armour in the am & pm but I can't take it twice a day or my pulse goes sky high and I don't want to end up in the ER again.

thanks to all

The little white pill was a big topic awhile back maybe in the late fall. Iwill have to try to find out who was posting about it before. It was a hot topic......

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
