I was diagnosed with celiac about 3 or 4 weeks ago. When I have a question, and I have many, do I jump in on another's message and add my new questions. Or is there somewhere else I go to post new questions which do not partain to the post I am looking at?

My first question is about constipation and gas/bloating.

With my sever fibromyalgia, I had constipation problems for years. Then I started taking large amounts of malic acid, magnesium, B6, and manganese. This suppliment along with cereal every morning solved my constipation problems. Now that I cannot eat cereal daily or at all, these problems are coming back. Any suggestions on what I can add to a protein drink to solve this problem which I can take daily?

Sorry, I cannot type too much at a time because of the muscle problems in my neck, shoulders, and arms or I would like to go into my story a little more. Oh well, a little at a time.

Thank you for your responses! Nancy

You can start a new thread. The post will not be pinned until a moderator pins it so if you don't see it right away in the section you put it under, that's why.

Nancy - There are gluten-free cereals available. I eat one that is like Rice Krispies, but is really gluten-free and is in the health food section of the store. Maybe you can find one of those you like. Good luck!

Hi Nancy, and welcome to the board!

As far as where to post, if you have a question or comment on a topic that is already started, just add your reply to that thred. If you have a question that you have not seen addressed, you can start a new topic. There are a lot of old posts that deal with many different topics--you can always do a search to bring up info. that way.

There are many gluten-free cereals available--I'm not sure of the fiber content. Maybe one of the hot ones would work for you. I don't have any suggestions on what to add to your protein drink, but I'm sure others will have some ideas for you.

We look forward to hearing a little more about you when you feel up to it :)

Here is a thread that might help--

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
