As someone who was told it was all in my head--I was just "sensitive"--for over 20 years, I would like to add my sincere thanks! My experience, like so many of us, was very similar to yours, Scott. I was reading through the thread in question this morning, and was so happy to see that you stepped in. :)

Hey Bev, thanks B)

yes, thank you Scott for jumping in... I got so sick of people for years, including my family, telling me that I either had a mental illness or that it was all in my head. Dr.s included... We don't need instigators coming in to stir up trouble and try to discredit valid Celiac info.

I was reading that this morning too Scott.

Thank you for stepping in.

Seems like we've had our share of disurbers lately. It's not bad to get people to think but telling people it's in their head, celiac can be cured so you can eat gluten, etc.....

Patti,

Didn't I read recently that you were thanked for getting people to think outside the box? We all need to process a lot of different information and see if it may fit. It would be different if a gluten free diet was unhealthy. Any diet CAN BE unhealthy, we still have the responsibility of varying our foods to maximize nutrition.

Yes, but that was completely different--the person was sick with an infection, and thought it was just her Celiac and was trying to figure out what she ate that was doing it. I suggested that it was something else entirely--and it turned out to be a serious infection--unrelated to the Celiac. That's what was meant by 'thinking outside of the box'.

I'm confused--did I say something I shouldn't have? Because it wouldn't be the first time :ph34r:

No you didn't. I referred to the diet since some people (not celiac/gluten intolerant) seem to think that the gluten-free diet isn't healthy.

Oh, ok :) Just my feeble mind not processing again! :D

Double post as put in the wrong thread first** sorry!

Thanks Scott..again, for stepping in.

I also chose to stay with my Internist of 20 who never thought to test for celiac as I was obese and struggling with my weight and constant 'd' for those years..and every year the 'd' got worse and IBS dx came and then after 5 weeks of not being able to eat, constant water 'd' that kept me house bound he tested for celiac. 16 months on gluten-free diet and help on the board for other food intollerances that have cropped up..I have my life back...and my mental health too, not because I was 'crazy' but mentally confussed by my illness from un dx celiac disease. He tells me I know more about celiac disease than he does and I'm helping him and his PA by sending them info too.

Thanks again.

Judy in philly

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better. Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor. PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12. Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Celiac for dummies

      By pothosqueen · Posted

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
