I never really introduced myself to the forum. I "lurked" for a few weeks and then joined but I'm not the kind of person to walk into an unfamiliar situation and just step up and announce "Hi, I'm...." I didn't know how a forum worked and had gotten used to figuring things out myself, which includes my problem with gluten. Plus I was having problems with memory, processing and concentration. On top of that I never learned how to type so it really slows me down and limits what I can say. I wanted to come back and introduce myself properly because I've hit a new level of healing at six months into this. Yeah! I've still got more to do and possibly other issues with food. But, thank you all for you help for myself and for others. I've learned alot from this board that goes beyond Celiac Disease. It's kind of one stop shopping here sometimes :) When I'm up to it and if I can find it again, maybe I'lll add my story to the "What's your Story" thread.

Hi Missy's Mom!

Yep, I remembered I 'lurked' for a while when I joined working things out and reading before I posted too! :)

Hope you continue to feel better and look forward to 'your story' ! (maybe! ;) )

Hello there! You know, it is never too late to learn to type. Even my 80 year old Mom was teaching herself with some computerized typing trainer, I think she really enjoyed it.

Welcome welcome welcome! So glad you're starting to feel much better. Healing is a long process, but the week to week improvements are amazing.

Oh, and Nancym said about computerized training programs... If you're interested in using one, try Mavis Beacon. It's the most fun one that I've ever tried. I used to "play" it like a video game when I was younger. I type pretty quickly now, though I don't think I ever got over 65 words a minute.

Hello and welcome! I lurked around here for about eight months or so myself before I joined, so it's great to have you here. I'm glad that you've finally introduced yourself - nothing too late about it - hope you feel at home!

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
