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! :)

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
