A Thank You For Nancy And Rachel


Lisa

Recommended Posts

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

Whoah...... I am so thankful for both of you. You have helped me and I am sure many, many others are well.

Thanks to you both. Lookin into the "D".

Grateful, Lisa

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

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
