Detoxification

I met some lady with celiac disease the other day and she was surprised when I told her I didn't do anything special for detoxification when I found out I had celiac disease (I just stopped eating gluten). I'm not sure what else she did, but she mentioned that she just recently went for blood tests at an aruvetic (not sure what the actual word is) practitioner, and after 9 months she could still see gluten in her bloodstream. If you stop eating it though, shouldn't it be out of your bloodstream without doing anything additional?

What does anyone else think about this?

I don't know about seeing gluten in the bloodstream directly - maybe her words for something else. But my impression is that she might have been getting some gluten unknowingly. If so then she still could be.

I didn't do any detox-specific stuff, but I would hope eating healthily will enable your body to move stuff along as best as may be expected under the circumstances. Be sure to get your daily magnesium, iron, Vitamin C, calcium, etc. Those and a few others come to mind as typical deficiencies, and don't overlook B12. I'd recommend a daily sublingual supplement of that in the methylcobalamin form.

When I looked into detox stuff, I found that it seems to also purge vital nutrients from your system. Minerals appear to be particularly vulnerable to detox products. I figured that wasn't exactly what I needed!

she was talking about ayervedic medicine - which is grounded in tantric philosophy and is part of yoga practice. Ayervedic medicine "types" your body and determines according to an extensive analysis of skin type, body shape,personality trait, etc. what foods are postiive for your system and which are regressive. I don't follow it, but do know it has some merits (ayervedic practices have been around for hundreds of years). I don't quite know how it would apply to celiac & detox b/c all the body types can have grains that contain gluten, but some more than others...however, that is where she was coming from...

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
