I'm so excited! I rode my bike twenty miles today! The last time I did this I was in bed for a week! I am amazed at the amount of stamina that I have had since going gluten free in February. I just had to tell people who would get it Thanks for letting me brag for a few minutes. Tara

That's fantastic! I miss being in shape like that.

It is 110 degrees where I live (Central CA) and we really can't even go outside today - - there are warnings and admonitions against all outdoor activity - dangerous air quality. Ugh, the heat hangs over us like a sticky, oppressive blanket. AND - - the power was out for three hours last night - biggest nightmare!

Point of all this is, I'm jealous that you live in an area where y ou can even GO outside! :angry:

Good for you. I did 30 miles yesterday and 25 today. The weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and low humidity. Makes up for the six inches of rain last week.

Congrats!! That's great! :D Feeling like you can do the things again that you love is a great feeling... My energy has improved and I can work out now each week...but still have a ways to go before I hit anything "long-distance" again...

110 degrees is way too hot for me! Sorry you don't have the chance to be outside. It is like that here in Michigan in the winter, where it is just too cold to exercise outside. The humidity is quite high here as I live near Saginaw Bay. In the winter the humidity cuts right through my jacket and singes my nose hairs!

Good for you. I did 30 miles yesterday and 25 today. The weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and low humidity. Makes up for the six inches of rain last week.

I also live in Michigan. It has been awesome weather!

I have had problems recently, but I think that it may be related to wine or oj. How has it been for you?

SkinnyMinny, I know what you mean! Last bike I had was a standard, with foot brakes and spider bars. That was in 79, so I don't know how far I'll be able to go on my new one! I went to my local bike shop and talked the guys there. They were very helpful about what I needed, and ordered one for me. Now I am waiting for it to arrive so I can start riding.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
