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

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
