OK...positive blood work, high related inflammation levels (c3c, c4c, and crp)

I have:

Joint pain

gas pains (some times even on an empty stomach)

the big D from time to time

constipation from time to time

weightloss (I was 318 5 mos ago, I am now 253, which isn't bad because of the weight, but to me its bad because of how I am lsoing it)

Salt bothers me (not already in food, but like if its sprinkled on top...WHY????)

I have to have meats with no antibiotics, or preservatives (very expesnive, but I get sick otherwise)

I get pains all over my body, even muscle twitches

Dizziness

Nausea

I run fevers from time to time

I get dehydrated, really easily, I mean really easily

I have DH on my face, although the rheumatologist wants be to get biopsied on the skin in a couple of plcaes because he said it could also be discoid lupus???

Most of the time I am falling on my face with exhaustion,

Then there are times that I can't get to sleep at all (what that heck is that?)

So...to make a long story short....my gp was a really winner when I went the other day. he said and I quote: "You went to a rheumatologist (my thought while he was talking: yeah winner because you weren't doing anything, he took the time and found something) I think you have a whole lotta nothing going on"

So I called the medical group, the head doc said it was insensitive and he concurs with the ER doc from last week. I owe it to myself to get the discoid checked out by a derm, but...and he said a big but....Celiac can really tear your system apart, and with as scary as it may be,,,all the thinsg you just told me, Sprue can cause?

Really, I was gluten free since June doing fairly well. Then my new GI doc had me start a challange, which is what landed me in the ER, 2 weeks ago. and I am still sick from it??

I hate to whine the same story thats been lamented about on here....but is Sprue really that wicked that it can do all that???? Wow.

I had many of those symptoms, especially the dehydration, which even caused trips to the ER several times over the past 20 years.

Most importantly, you need to be sure you're 100% gluten-free.

After that, you sound very much like me. Dead tired, but when I go to bed, I can't fall asleep, included! Being gluten-free for me was not quite enough to turn my health around. I was just sick for too long and it wore my whole system down. I think it does all go back to my problem with gluten, but in the end it wore me out. I just read a book called Tired of Being Tired by Jesse Lynn Hanely MD. I highly recommend it to you.

I know the feeling of absolute total exhaustion very well. I still get it. It particularly scared me one day when I was taking the kids to visit my mom in the city and I literally felt like I was going to fall asleep at the wheel on the highway......

Oh yeah,it's a really insidious disease alright.

Nasty,nasty disease which creeps up,and has a myriad of symptoms.

Regarding the fatigue,before dx ,my hubby would be in bed 20 out of 24 hrs a day.

He was so weak I'd have to support his head to take a drink :o

CELIAC DISEASE

COMPLETLEY CURED

IN SYDNEY

Raffael says as he closed his eyes he could see the clouded areas of Miss Mona’s Intestines and with his mind power cleaned all of her system, working on her brain, stomach, intestines, etc.

You can watch the Testimony clip by visiting www.powerofraffael.com

Could you dial up your buddy Raffy and ask him to please stop staring at my half digested lunch. My rug needs a good power cleaning, can he help? <_<

TAKE A HIKE - no snake-oil salesmen allowed! :angry::angry::angry:

ALFRED!

How dare you! Want to stay sick? You have lost your mind, I read up on this gentleman and he is being investigated for fraud in two different countries! How dare you!

Nobody here WANTS to stay sick....and EVERYONE here does every last thing imaginable short of getting a new immune system to stay helathy. You have no right, no background and no place saying things like this.

This HEALER is a dog and pony show, nothing more that the admission to get in to where he's set up shop and peddle his ridiculous garbage.

Google him, and several radio programs in his native country.

Stop advertising for some dog and pony magic show. PLEASE.

Narrow minded? You have no clue.

What I don't buy into, is a dog and pony show that is capitalizing on a disease that is just now coming to the forefront of the medical community and gaining attention and capitalizing on people's misfourtunes.

It's low.

Now go away, we don't want you here.

If you really wanted to just help people by giving the information, you wouldn't have pasted the same story in almost every section and in the middle of other topics. THIS is what WE especially don't want.

I just read on the scd info board about a salt issue - you say you are having problems with that--

"salted nuts have starch on them. Salt can have DEXTROSE put into it. Most salt w/ iodine in it has dextrose in it. So this can be a problem. Dextrose is illegal on the scd diet." They recommend getting the iodine from vitamins and use sea salt. I have been using Himalayan Salt.

For me, the sleep issue got better the longer I was gluten free. Hope you feel and get better.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
