I'm sure some of you probably remember this, but it was exactly 4 years ago that I got sick with Celiac (January 1, 2003). I seriously dont know where the 4 years went by. It feels like it was just yesterday. Maybe its good that it goes by quick, that way when I get old I might not remember :lol:

Its been a tough 4 years obviously, and I hope that 2007 is a start to finding my answer to feeling better once again..

Hi Lisa

Best of luck with your goal for 2007. My new years resolution is the same, improve my health and work out why I feel this way.

Awww thanks, that is so sweet of you to say! it really means a lot to me :) ...

I'm replying to this on a short break in class lol...thats what I do in my spare minutes in school, browse the boards haha. I have some kinda bad news to start off this year: I have to drop one class. Theres a re-write available, but if i dont get basically 80% on the rewrite i still fail it no matter what, and you cant do the 2nd have of the class (this semester) without passing the 1st half. So I'm just gonna have an extra spare, and I can either retake it during the summer thru correspondence, or I can take it during university when i transfer.

I honestly dont even care. You people have all teached me that there are more important things than school, and that my health is #1 above all else, so I'm not gonna have no panic attack or breakdown whatever over it. So i dont graduate just yet...so what??? I gotta get my health fixed first, school will always be there.

That was random, but I just found that out this afternoon so I thought I should post about it before I forget to...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By trents · Posted

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not bode well for good oral health or good health in general.  It can take two years or more for good healing of the lining of the small bowel after adopting a consistently gluten free diet. In the meantime, adding in good quality supplements can help compensate for poor nutritional absorption efficiency. Common over the counter vitamins and supplements are often optimized for shelf life rather than good assimilation/utilization by the body. We commonly recommend that those struggling with nutritional deficiencies start taking high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of E daily, D3, Zinc and magnesium glycinate. They need to be checked to make sure they are gluten free since wheat starch can be used as a filler in pills and vitamins. Costco Kirkland Signature and Nature Made brands are often good choices. What is causing your swallowing problems? Is it the thrush?

      The Benfotiamine and thiamax need magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Yes, go ahead and take the Benfotiamine and Thiamax now and include the magnesium as soon as possible.   Yes, take the magnesium at breakfast, too.   I take my Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax and B Complex  at the beginning of breakfast.  I take the magnesium after I finish eating breakfast.  Yes, I take NeuroMag.

      @knitty kitty thank you for replying so quickly! I have not done well at all taking vitamins or supplements, I have such a hard time swallowing even small pills, so I have resorted to crushing them and taking them with Gatorade.  Pretty much I eat baked chicken tenders, Fairlife chocolate protein shakes, gluten free crackers. Thank you so much for the advice, I will try it all for sure, because everything I have tried OTC has done nothing

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Charlie1946 · Posted

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think,  I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when I thought I had a sinus infection. So I got a z pack. Then I noticed my tongue was coated and it was white except right down the middle which was more brown and crusty, like the corners of my mouth. I also have dry mouth and I went way too long before I started treating it. So then I had some kind of huge pill and Nystatin mouthwash. My mother in law's new husband ( they live upstairs) started complaining of exactly the same symptoms as me. He went to urgent care, they said it wasn't thrush, it was shingles. We both went to our dentist's for cleanings, I don't have insurance so I really couldn't tell they cleaned my teeth at all. But she said my mouth looked good, all cleared up. I had a day and a half of no pain and then it came right back. So I got more pills and miracle mouthwash. There are times it feels like dry socket and times it feels like it's bleeding but it's not. I don't see any gum or facial swelling, I did see a couple of tiny ulcers on my bottom lip, roof of my mouth is still sore, and my tongue and cheeks are still a little coated. I am just at a loss. My mother in law's husband, they  took swabs and called back a week later and said it was a new herpes variant virus that is going around but not contagious. He was cured after a week! And I'm going on 3 months 😭

      The thiamax and benfo I ordered should come tomorrow. I will start Friday ny b complex the benfo and thiamax for breakfast. I haven't ordered magnesium yet. I wanted to start with this first then add magnesium. Should it be fine to take b complex the thia/benfo and eventually magnesium at breakfast together? Thanks
