Homeopath

Hi,

I went to my Dr. yesterday for a follow-up on my iron levels, and she suggested that I see a homeopath in order to determine a homeopathic remedy for when I get glutened.

I got glutened a week and half ago and I am finally feeling better. My symptoms range from d, to dizzy and lighteheadness to sore throat and a cough and seem to last such a long time. My questions:

1) The cost for a consult is $250. Is this going to be worth it? I have done alot of self-education, and have not read anywhere about homeopathy being helpful. I am very open to alternative medicine, I see an integrative doctor.

2) I have been thinking of sending in for Enterolab tests to see if I have any other sensitivities and have seen positive comments on the boards about them. Would that be a better use of my money? The tests are quite expensive as well, so I couldn't do both.

Any experience would be appreciated. I have until Mon. to cancel my appt. that I made for the homeopath.

Terri

LOVE EM!!!!!!! I have been to a Kinesiologist/herbalist. I love this lady. I went from being sick constantly, if someone got the cold, I got the flu. I have had more sicknesses than I care to admit to. I went to the herbalist after the baby (2 yrs ago) because the baby was having colic issues. A few drops for the baby and a bunch of vitamins and supplements for me and it was great. I nearly dies at the $150 in vitamins! But 24 hrs later we had a happier child. 48 hrs later she was a different baby! Even my hubby, Mr skeptic, acknowledges that this lady did something amazing. As for my health, now I get some colds like the rest of the world. If everyone in my house is sick, I get a stuffy nose - that's all.

The only downside is I think you really have to go to a homeopath that is recommended. I have been to some who really seem like quacks.

I don't know what they can do to help your reactions? Those are just terrible. But, they can help build your body back up to a good healthy state and give you supplements that will help as maintenance of a healthy body.

I hope you go. I hope you have a great experience too. Good luck!

I think that my doctor was concerned about building my immune system back up, since I have been getting everything that comes around. I have a sore throat now, which feels like strep, and I've had that three times this year! My bosy can't handle any more antibiotics-hate them!! The vote of encouragement is really helpful. Thanks.

Hey everyone

Just a note to say, i got a appt with a gastro that specializes in celiac. on the 19th of july. And much to my surprise he comes down to my town every month. So wont have to drive to SLC utah. :D

I broke out again, lip and my behind, still kind of achy. I had the worst headache yestersay It took 15 mg of vicoden to kick it but woke up this morning feeling much better today. Found out the lotion that i use to rub my dh back has gluten. It didnt say on the package but now i have switched to Dove to that should hellp.

The question I have got to ask is, should I ask to have tests to see if I am allergic to anything else? Would a gastro be able to do that? Or do I have to go to a different dr? I am so sick of dr's at this point but might as well get that done. (I guess).

Noglugirl-- thanks again for your help, we have no natural food stores around here so THANKS!!! :D

Hi,

I love my homeopathic; he has given my life back twice now.

If you live in Sacramento, he is worth seeing. I have a very weak immune system.

He has me on a whole desiccated Adrenal. Your Adrenal gland

Is important to your immune system, I also use Golden Seal root.

He gave me this when I get sick; I follow this Infection Protocol

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      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.

      Fighting for a name

      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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @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.
