Awesome!!! I'm already learning how to do certain 'special' things so I can be a 'backup' person for when one guy's wife has a baby. Makes me feel good!

That's great!! I'm so happy for you :D

Way to go, Bun-Bun.

No time, except to ask Em and Bevel what makes them think I have hypoglycemia?? :o Not to my knowledge. It's just that my stomach always starts digesting itself if it doesn't have any food to work on, and then all hail breaks loose with the big bloat and stuph :P Don't have any of the classic symptoms when I looked them up :unsure:

If I may butt in here :lol: What a surprise, right? :P

Shroom, I noticed when I was reading about yer reaction the other day that I think what I've been experiencing is closer to what you have. I used to get panic attacks back in the day before I knew about the Celiac, but they have never happened since and those were different. The last few weeks, I have had 3 "occurrences" of pounding heart, sweaty hands and feet, and chills right after. It lasts about 10-15 minutes and then I'm fine, save for being a little wiped out

All 3 times, I have had gluten-free bread and/or white rice beforehand. I first thought about hypoglycemia, but I had blood tests just recently and my sugar is always fine. I wonder though--and for you too--about reactive hypoglycemia. It doesn't show up always in regular testing, but does in an all-day test. Not eating can trigger it, as can alcohol, sugar (or foods that digest as sugar), and caffeine.

I dunno--just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm also very interested in what Em and Bevvie have to say :D

I think I immediately thought of hypoglycemia after your description of your symptoms, Shroom, because my head always seems to be there - - within the world of blood sugar issues. The classic symptoms of low blood sugar happened to you, if I remember correctly: Shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness.. .... . . ...and it typically happens when one has gone too long without food. Stomach issues aren't normally present, however, but nausea can be, as can tingling around the lips, general confusion and a hammering heartrate.

Because you had gone so long without food, and were experiencing some of these symtoms.. . .. . well, it seems to be walkin' and talkin' like a duck... . . ..

Well, see, I don't get the sweaty hands and feet or the chills, but I am totally wiped out after because it can go on for 3 hours :o Howevah, coming home on an empty stomach and having a cocktail!!! Now that's not good!

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice. :P

It's not just pounding, it's erratic as hell, stopping and starting, and the pulses in my head are so painful :blink:

Yeah, I unnerstand you live in this world :( but I'm really not keen to go there :unsure: No shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness. No tingling lips, no confoosion. In fact, it is exactly the same as the way I react after eating the high lectin foods (which give me the bloating)

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

I'm not quacking yet :ph34r:

Thanks for all your responses. It's just that when I checked all the classic symptoms none of them seemed to be me :blink:

You should be able to. From within the topic, to the left of the page navigation buttons is a blue button with an inverted black triangle. Click it and you will be asked to type a page number. The riotous phun starts at page 1700.

oh.....I see. They's just hiding it <_<

Speaking of classic sillie moments, remember how we pulled off 100 pages in a weekend when Soozle was kween? Leesigh, as I recall, was instrumental in that one :lol:

That's what they've been talkin about, psilly! Page 1700 :P

.....and it was Jan-knit's idea. However, I think I did pull night duty that weekend.

...or the yeti & the care bear :blink::lol:

I think I came on the scene in the middle or towards the end of the yeti and totally missed the care bear :unsure:

A page or so after that Janet recaps Emily's greetings to potential new Psillies. :lol: :lol:

Jess is giving us recaps of recaps :lol:

When my DD was diagnosed hypoglycemic, I started to realize I may have it too. I get all those symptoms. Now, I've had the tingling around the lips, too, but always thought it must be a food allergy, but never figured it out. I've been sugar free...including grains...for some time now, and have not had the tingling in a long time. Hmmmm.......

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Quack :rolleyes:

I gotta bond somehow, as the aforementioned no longer visits :P

Went to a gluten free pitch-in today :) The one that Jyan-knit couldn't attend this year :(

I need to thank her for keeping Skeeter away, cuz I got to win a food basket this time! :D

It's beginning to look like it :o

After Mark left, I was doing a lot of things like grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, leftover rice cooked in milk for breakfast--easy stuff since it was just me. In other words, I was falling back into eating more of the "white carbs" just because of the convenience.

Today, I had no grain at all...or sugar.... made a real dinner. Feel nice and calm :rolleyes: I'm glad we talked about this!

Yep :) Probably not solved, but more like "so far, so good". I've been living in fear for the past few weeks, thinking I was going to have a heart attack or something--and wouldn't have anyone to call. I wonder if this stuff is messing with my brain.....

So, Emily, how was your weekend? What did you do?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
