I just found this board after doing the Google search. Let me give you a Cliff Notes version of what is going on with me. I have always had bowel trouble but in the last two years I have become constantly fatigued, Vertigo, bulging eyes, Vision loss, weight gain, low testosterone, stomach cramps, depression, and a rash on the back of my neck. I have been to many specialists and they have been debating on if it is my Thyroid, Adrenal Glands, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue etc. While I was waiting for someone to agree what my illness is I was told two weeks ago to try a Gluten free diet. So I went to my library and got the Gluten Free for Dummies book and after reading it I saw a lot of things that I seem to suffer from. So I had a blood test already scheduled this week and I called my PcP who agreed to do a comprehensive blood work for gluten sensitivity. Am I barking up the wrong tree with this?

Hello and welcome! It certainly could be and you're wise to get the testing done before you go gluten-free!

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
