Actually I accidentally came upon this sight while looking up websites on Johnny Rivers. When I clicked on google search for him, just a few sites down was this the mention of gluten free web site and his name within that post. I found that rather unusual so I clicked on it. I clicked on it, to see where someone named, Dingogirl made a post about him.

Johnny Rivers is a WONDERFUL singer, and I have seen him and had the pleasure of meeting him! He has the bluest eyes, and he sounds even better now than ever. What a handsome man! The few times that I have spoken to him, he has been so generous, soft spoken and his concerts (the couple that I have attended are never a let down.) It would be great to talk to any fans that he might have here! I have enjoyed his 60's music since for a long time. So anyway, I was looking at this site, and became intrigued by this forum on gluten free diet. I plan on reading a lot to see what this diet is all about and see if it could help me. I have had some digestive problems, as well as thyroid problems, and wonder if this could help me. First I need to get educated. So maybe I have come to a place where not only can I find out if this site could help me physically, but might meet a few people who enjoy Johnny Rivers music! Ok, I'm back to seeing if I can find any websites about Johnny Rivers to read about, that is how I got here as I said. Looking forward to hearing from anyone here. Looking forward to reading more on this Gluten Free Diet!! :)

Welcome, with hopes you can learn a little from us, but I expect more from DingoGirl :P

Oh, my, the world wide web. I, too, once googled a medical inquiry and found my OWN post.

DingoGirl, there is someone at the door for you. :P

Excuse the double post. When I tried to reply it said I couldn't reply, so I tried again, and oops.....then there were two. It might take me awhile to get used to posting, so meanwhile bear with me, please. From what I have read so far, it seems that there are a lot of very caring and understanding people here, and you have a lot of fun thrown into it all!

Hi Jackie & welcome to our celiac world.

Yes, you probably will learn more here than you probably want to know.Celiac disease is a complex mix of symptoms, everyone feeling just a tad different.....

I would suggest that some testing be done because if this is your problem you would want to get a handle on it asap.

And I agree Johnny Rivers is great........

hope you enjoy this site full of educational & some uneducational info.......

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By Name · Posted

      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?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
