DHC — Mystery Diagnosis

Lethal Diet

Parents Ed and Jane try to figure out why their son, Alex, is so unsteady on his feet, and why he has recurring sinus infections. A 31-year-old woman begins gaining weight and complaining of oily skin, hair loss, body cramps, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Sounds like it! To bad I dont have cable...

They will be airing "Like Mother Like Son" on April 9, at 1PM--this was the Celiac episode that has been on before. The "Lethal Diet" sounds good--I wonder if it will also involve Celiac?

It was ok--it was the story of a little boy, who would go into a trance-like state. The gluten was affecting him that way, and even though his mom is a Celiac, he was not tested for quite a while. Once off gluten, he thrived, and is fine today. His story is very atypical--I didn't even realize they were talking about Celiac at the beginning. On the same episode, there is a story of a woman who had a heart problem--her symptoms, and personal problems leading up to her diagnosis looked more like my Celiac experience! :blink:

HI PATTY--IF YOU'VE CK'D THE 'RADMAN' THREAD OF SYMPTOMS..DIDN'T SOME PEOPLE TAKE ABOUT BEING (SPACED OUT AS KIDS)??? WONDER IF THIS WOULD BE GOOD FOR SOME OF THEM TO SEE.

THIS ONE ON SUNDAY NITE LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF celiac disease AND OBESITY???THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR A CHANGE..I'LL TAPE IT IF VINCENT WANT'S ME TOO.

Yea--it definately focuses on the neurologic symptom--although they do have doctors talking more about Celiac towards the end of the segment. I think it would be interesting for anyone here--each individual story is only 20 min. long--they did 3, if I remember correctly, on this episode. I plan on tivo-ing the "Fatal Diet" episode--it sounds good!

I know--no yard work today :D

did anyone watch it tonight?

I'm taping at 12:30 now and still not sure this is it???

well, with the camel hump, maybe cushings..?

another comercial..do i sound bored here :angry: ah well..took me 15 years to get dx'd so maybe this long show isn't too bad. :)

Yep, it's cushings, I was tested for that but during the 7 days 24/7 urine collection (fun to do at work) they LOST ONE OF THE JUGS, so said, heck with it...Interesting.

Have to see what my cordisol levels are Hummm???

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
