I'm talking about supplements, herbs, etc...something you take everyday that helps you in some way. Celiac treatment related or not....list what you take, where you get it and what it does! Awesome!

My Wife. My Family. Her Family. Kayaking. Kayaking again. Riding my bike. My friends. My School. My work. Remembering that my life is not defined solely by the things I eat.

That's my "secret" weapon. I also take a multivitamen and B-complex vitamin, but I don't know if they do anything....

Chocolate is also high in magnesium, which is why so many people crave it.

I think probiotics are essential, but I have to agree with Geoff, it's my family, especially hubby, that keeps me going.

CHOCOLATE Viactiv!!

My daily 3 of these foil-wrapped wonders have been helping me rebuild my poor osteoporetic bones which...keeps me dancing (the other thing I can't live without)!

Synthroid! I always know when my dosage needs to be changed because I'm extremely tired.

MY Daughter Hannah is my secret weapon, she is the Princess in my life, along with my husband, she tells us that we are "her subjects in her kingdon"

Made up Knock Knock jokes, I can be in one of those moods and she gives me one of her made up Knock Knock jokes and it brings me right out of it.

Currantly looking for a Vitamin supplement that does not make me too constipated.

I don't take anything everyday, but here are things I find helpful and energizing:

Bach Rescue Remedy (relieves stress - it's amazing)

Vitamin B supplements

Omega-3 Fish oil supplements

Chlorella

Organic fruits and veggies put through a juicer

Coconut oil or fresh young coconut water

What's your reccommendation for probiotics? i've talked to the people at the health food store, and done a little reading on them, but I don't have insurance right now, so I have no dr. to talk w/...but i've been curious to try them.

what is this? does it have to do w/ low thyroid?...if so, do share!!!

I take a lot of probiotics because I'm on a lot of long-term antibiotics for Lyme Disease. I'm taking Metagenics Ultra Flora, Theralac, and VSL#3. All are available on the internet. I would recommend the Ultra Flora or Theralac. The VSL#3 would be over-kill for you. The Theralac is the stronger of the two, but the Ultra Flora is good, too.

does it matter brand-wise what probiotics you use? i'm still very nervous to try them...but if they'll help, i'm game.

Also, does anyone take pomegranate or noni? i've heard these are both good supplements to use.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
