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

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
