Arrrgh! Gluten Free Isn't Iodine Free

I have been losing a lot of weight since they discovered diabetes in addition to my celiac about 2 months ago. I started drinking Wegman's gluten-free 'Nutritional Supplement' last week to gain some back. I added 6 a day to my diet and have managed to gain but 3 or 4 lbs but the cost has been dear. My last DH sore had finally been healing but I had noticed it had reactivated along with the I am pooping molten lead blisters you know where. I attributed this to CC from a final through cleaning of my birds cage. I noticed yesterday my BM's had gotten real dark so I decided, much too late :( , to check how much iron was in the stuff I was drinking. It is loaded with Iodine also! I am so stupid sometimes it amazes me. If I was a dog I'd be doing a 'booty skoot' across my rug. :P:angry::D . Oh well I am done venting. Or maybe not. I hate this, I look like a stick, I live under a cancer fear cloud, and I really, really, really hate the doctors that misdiagnosed my whole family for years. There now I'm done.

Ravenwood, that sounds awful! I'm so glad that you thought to look further and figure out the cause of those symptoms. Don't feel stupid--we have to be food detectives and chemists, both, and sometimes things will slip by. The important thing is that you figured it out. Here's hoping that it all clears quickly. :)

It will trigger DH sores. Mine had finally started to heal completely after I found this out and switched vitamins. Each shake I consumed had 25% of the daily requirement. I was consuming 6 a day.

Thanks Patti I hope it does too. Feels like the last time I wore a panty liner but at least the stuff was gluten-free so I don't have any tummy troubles. This too will pass and I promise myself to never, ever take or use anything without reading the label.

Well, I'm sorry that you had this episode, but I'm surely glad that you wrote about it! I'm having some trouble with DH blisters and had completely forgotten about iodine myself. Ate some salmon, and my scalp bloomed gloriously :wacko: with blisters. I was racking my brains before you wrote about your experience.

Thanks for ranting!!!!

I hope they go away soon.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
