Couple Questions...

Hi guys - Hope you're all doing peachy.

Here's a question...for any of you coffee drinkers, do you feel that coffee after a meal seems to improve your digestion? I'm finding this seems to be true for me and I'm wondering if any of you would agree or know if there's research out there to prove it (I swear I thought it wasn't good for your digestion, but whatever!)

Also - I've bought Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar. That is gluten free correct? It doesn't say "flavored" anywhere on the bottle.

Yes, yes, yes! And it's so counterintuitive, since for some people (celiac & not) it causes diarrhea. I really don't understand the mechanism (though I have long been curious about it) but I most definitely have felt this beneficial effect for years. And I can barely tolerate eating sweets (other than fruit) without coffee, though that may be partly a flavor habit... chocolate in particular just doesn't appeal to me at all without coffee. On the other hand, drinking it on an empty stomach does sometimes bother me.

And yes the vinegar is Gluten-free, though some people are sensitive to vinegar of all kinds.

Leah, glad to hear you agree...I swear when I was in my early celiac stages (just diagnosed) I couldn't tolerate coffee - but now for some reason I swear it helps break down my food better. Maybe it's because it's so acidic...

My doc is a huge proponent of ending a meal with something acidic whethe rit be some vinegar on a small leafy salad or a cuppa joe. I gotta say I feel much better, too! A dark cup of fresh ground French press coffee with a smidgen of cream really helps me scoot thru that lingering fatigue.

Coffee is just good any time, but I LOVE a good cup after my meal.

I did not know about the digestion thing, but that only makes it better. Not only does it wake us up in the morning, but it also helps us digest food.

You learn something new every day! :)

i was told to stay away from vineger but i still sneak at the pickling jar of onoins ( YUMMY) and it doesnt do anything that im aware of. Leah, about the coffee, i drink cofee abd am still C,cant be drinking enough, how much do you have to drink for it to work and before you feel like your on drugs from the caffiene, i probably have 3-4 and i start getting a bit shaky.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
