gluten-free For 2 Years And Sick Again

I've been gluten-free for 2 years and was doing very good. My only flare up was when we evacuated for Katrina in Aug. That was understandable. But now I have been sick for 3 days and I don't know what's caused it. So far no diarrehea, but bloating big time and chills (no fever). I have developed a nasty NON itchy rash on my legs. that my Dr. just looked at and said dry skin! I have had numbness and tingling in my legs and arms for 2 years (diagnosed as nerve damage from celiac disease). I'm afraid these may be signs of diabetes. I've lost a lot of faith in doctors. Has anyone gone through something similar?

I have racked my brain. The only thing new is cottage cheese, which I was assured gluten-free. I stopped eating it 2 days ago. just in case. I was wondering (sounds crazy) if certain pollen could carry gluten. We are having a lot of willow seeds and stuff floating around. Thanks Carrie for responding

keep in mind that products that you've always used and know to be safe MAY all of a sudden change their ingredients and now contain gluten. So, I try to make it a habit to always read labels every single time, even if I've used the product a hundred times already. Just recently it was a brand of taquitos that I've eaten with no problems in the past, and was just getting ready to say "ok" when I remembere to read the label, sure enough, wheat was one of the ingredients... and it said "contains wheat ingredients" on the bottom... I can't remember what brand, but I've had them before with no probs at all after finding them on a gluten-free list somewhere.

Thanks Nini,

You are probably right. I try to keep up on the labels but sometimes you have to be a chemist to read them.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
