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

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
