Question On Recovery

Hi guys - I remember reading another thread on this at some point but I wanted to ask this question and see how some of you respond.

I was diagnosed in September and as far as I can tell my digestive issues have cleared nicely since going on the diet. However, this winter has been a real &*!@# for me. I have 3 little ones (one who just started her first year of kindergarten and one who just started preschool) and it seems like the kids and I have been sick alot this season - like constant colds or just feeling run down. I'm wondering if that's because of my "celiac" recovery or it's just a coincidence with the kids....

Anyone's advice? :D

Probably a coincidence with the kids. Kids are little germ spreaders. There has been lots of colds and flu going around this year and kids are at school with other little diseased ones. It is just like lice, you will never have lice until your kids go to school then, you will get it because of they got it from other kids.

The kids are probably bringing every germ home with them. My husband has had three major colds this past winter but I have had none. I take a daily acidelphous (sp) and do so every single day. It used to be that I always caught his colds. I also take vitamins every morning. You might put the kids on yogurt to boost the good things in their bodies and an acidelplous for you. I am sure someone else will post that is more an expert then I am.

I second the yogurt, my mom, ever the mama lion, made us eat lots of yogurt and garlic (thankfully not together) during cold season, and then gatorade, chicken soup, and more yogurt when we were sick.

In February my neices flew out to see her and one of them had a stomach bug. When I talked to my neice a few days later she said, "I was sick, but Nana gave me and Jordie (her twin) yogurt and now we're all better."

I personally can't stand to eat yogurt (had it almost every day in high school - because I could eat it)...but my daughter loves the little Yoplait yogurts. They come in six packs - 3 of one flavor, 3 of another. And they're just the right size for little tummies. They have characters on them too - Blues Clues and Dora are the two I've seen. My daughter's favorites are Strawberry yogurt and Banana yogurt (yes - two separate flavors - not Strawberry-Banana). She doesn't have Celiac (to our knowledge yet) - so I'm not sure if these yogurts are "safe" or not....I can't imagine why they wouldn't be though. Double check to make sure if your kids have Celiac.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
