Omg I just opened the nov issue of "self" magazine... There's a brief mention of celiac disease! There's a little chart thing for how to host/plan for someone on a special diet. There is lactose intolerant, vegan, and "celiac disease sufferer". I'm not craaaazy abt the wording, but it does say what it does, "hidden holiday hazards", and "she'll be thankful if you..." (Read labels, get "gluten free" foods, and use separate utensils to prepare and serve food)

Not terribly in depth, but AWWWWW! I'm gonna write in and say thanx for even the smallest mention!

Fellow Sufferers,

I just have to chime in and say how much it hacks me off that in almost every article about celiac disease, the author feels the need to tack on "sufferer" after the disease. Like we're all walking around with sweaty foreheads and fingernails chewed to a nub. All that suffering, and for lack of a Twinkie.

Well, gotta get back to my suffering.

Actually, I am on the other end of the spectrum...... <_<:(

It always ticks me when I hear or read articles saying once you start the gluten-free diet, "PRESTO"!!!! all your troubles go away.....

I, for one, wish that were the case......

I like it acknowledged every once in awhile that even those who religiously follow the gluten-free diet sometimes doe not improve...... as hard as it is to say, it does happen....... so yes, in a sense, we are sufferers (those of us who fall into the "no improvement" category, anyway...... <_<:unsure: )

I second that observation, Karen! I'm at 8 months of being super careful. Still no improvement. Seems like I'm allergic to nearly everything now.

I actaully don't like the term Disease, I always think of a disease being something catching. If I'm telling someone I just say I've got celiac, so I cant have gluten.

It also annoys me that the list the treatmeant as just following a gluten-free diet, Imo a treatmeant means it will go away, managment would be a more appropriate term.

I can't imangine how all you super sensitives and people who have health problems because of this feel, I have neither of these, so try to be thankful about that, but even sometimes have to adopt the "this really sucks attitude" Like today when I saw the yummiest piece of chocie cake ever.

Anway Im getting off topic, Its great to see it mentioned in a magazine!

I should have said the Yummies LOOKING piece of choccie cake, I thankfully had the sense to not eat it, just thought Id clear that up

      @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...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      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.
