Celiac Disease, Mental Health, Quality Of Life And Physical Activity Research Study

Hello all,

I am writing to introduce myself. I am currently a doctoral student at UNCG in the Exercise and Sport Psychology program and I am researching the impact of exercise on mental health and quality of life in people with Celiac Disease. My other interests include sports nutrition and nutrition for people with allergies, autoimmune diseases, and other chronic diseases. I have Celiac Disease and was diagnosed in July 2003. Three of my family members also have the disease. I am an active exerciser and I enjoy swimming and ultra running. In addition to my teaching and research commitments at UNCG, I also tutor elementary school math and work part-time at the YMCA teaching cycling and weight lifting classes.

In April, I submitted an application to UNCG to complete a Pilot Study on Celiac Disease this summer to study the relationship between physical activity, aerobic fitness, depression, anxiety, and quality of life in Celiac Disease patients.

In the first phase of the study, I will be using questionnaire data to assess physical activity and the mental health variables (that I mentioned above). In the second phase of the study, I will be conducting a V02 max test to measure aerobic fitness, and also use questionnaires to assess the mental health variables. I am hoping that the results of this research study will significantly enhance the public health’s understanding of the relationship between physical activity/aerobic fitness and depression, anxiety, and quality of life in Celiac Disease patients.

If anyone is interested in participating in the research study and completing the survey, please contact me. I can US mail you a survey packet with a postage paid envelope for easy return. If you live near Greensboro, NC and are interested in participating in the fitness testing, let me know also. My contact information is below.

Thank you very much, Lisa

This sounds like an interesting study. Are you looking at both dietary compliant and non-compliant? Just curious. Wish I lived closer but don't think you want to fly me across the country :D

Sounds interesting. My wife is an exercise physiologist/personal trainer, so I'm curious would this VO2 max test be the "pedal and p :wacko: ke" test? (she so enjoyed during her studies) Quite a lab from what I hear!

Anyway I'd be happy to participate in the survey I'll email you my info.

Yes! We are! We are looking at adhearance to the gluten free diet also. I can send you a survey and a SASE if you want? Send me your US mail address? Where do you live? I will be in San Diego next week. Lisa

The Vo2 max test is on the treadmill. Yes, please send me your US mail address, so I can get a survey to you! Thanks, Lisa

Hi,

      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!
    • ElisaAllergiesgluten
      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
