I know someone posted a question about this a while ago and I don't remember if they got an answer, but I've just heard that zinc deficiency can cause slowed healing that leaves darker, shiny marks on your skin.

That is so interesting to know. My ss got hurt last yr on his bike and he had to have stitches, and it is black all around still and it has been worrying me. I guess i will have to get an zinc replacement.

When I was first diagnosed, I had bruising all over my body. I was seeing a hematologist because of anemia. He also ran some other blood tests, and they showed that I was not absorbing Vitamin K (which causes clotting). This was causing the bruising.

You may want to ask your doctor - maybe it's vitamin K that you need.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Jay Heying · Posted

      Hello everyone, this my first time to this website and I need some help. I’m 65 years old and have been living with Celiacs for about 15 years. My doctor has suggested I start taking a probiotic named  Integrative Pro-Flora-Concentrae. Has anyone else used this probiotic specifically? If this one isn’t celiac friendly can you recommend another please. Thank you.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.
