A Thank You For Nancy And Rachel

I wanted to thank Nancy and Rachel for their research and their willingness to share with all of us.

I have been feeling very poorly this past month. While reading some of the research that Nancy made available, I came across a possible reason for this.

"Long term use of antacids effects and hinders the absorption of B-12".

I have been taking 2,500mcg of B-12 (sublingual) for three days and the fog is lifting, I feel more alert and the shaking has stopped. It has also saved me significant money for further testing. Currently, additional B-12 appears to be the "cure".

So, I just wanted them to know how much the research presented here for us to learn is truly appreciated. Rachel has never failed to give be a very detailed answer to my questions. I recall her saying, "that if it makes one person feel better, it's worth it". Thank you both.

I am very happy to be the the recipient of their work.

Thank you.

Lisa

:o I didn't know that! That is certainly something to remember.

Thank you Nancy, Rachel and Lisa ... I'm going to send that info to my daughter too, who does take more antacids than I do.

Wow! That terrific. :) I've been taking lots of extra B vitamins too and my brain is feeling very perky. Not sure if it is the B vitamins or just more time on the gluten-free/CF diet. But I was having pin prick feelings, a weird vibration in my intestines and other weird neurological effects. Plus I read that folic acid helps alzhemiers patients... not that I'm ready for that label yet but some days I felt I wasn't far from it!

Also, I found a medication I'm taking blocks folic acid so I just KNEW I should get more of it.

The research on Vit. D. is really interesting too: Open Original Shared Link

I can't go into the sun because my skin is very sensitive so I'm taking oily D3. Hopefully it is doing good stuff in there. :D

Thank you Lisa!!! I'm an information addict. I'm always glad to know when people benefit from the research I like to do.

I agree with you about Rachel. Rachel was one of the people here who welcomed me and made it so much easier for me when I first found out about celiac.

:D

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
