Blood Pressure Going Up On Gluten Free Diet

Hi,

I've been on a gluten free diet now going on 10 weeks and lately when I check my blood pressure at home it's been going up.I don't know if it's coincidental or not or maybe I'm absorbing more salt from my food.I'm beginning to wonder .... I'm gaining in health one way and losing the other way.

Off the diet you can get cancer, on the diet your cholesterol goes up and incresaes your odds of having a heart attack.

Are you eating a lot of gluten-free junk food? Most gluten-free replacement foods are much higher in simple carbs and sugars than the gluteny foods being replaced. Also, do you get enough vitamins C, E and D? Those are important for regulating blood pressure, as are omega 3 fatty acids.

Eat apples, they are known to lower blood pressure (even smelling an apple will do that).

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.
