I am so upset right now. I was reading our local paper this morning and found out an family member passed away last night, he was only 44. I am just in shock. My poor sil has to bury an young brother in november now an young bil now. He had been sick when my bil was so sick, but we had thought he was getting better. I guess i better get going on cleaning this house cause im sure i will have an houseful by the time the day is over. Keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I know what you mean about "Why do the good die young." Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair.

You guys will be in my thoughts.

Paula my prayers are with you.

It is tough with any death but it makes it worse when it is someone too young.

He did have such rough life tho, his parents had him late in life and he was born with cerebral or md, i cant think straight right now. But he was such an delight to be around. He always had a smile on his face, he couldnt talk much and when he did it was hard to understand, but he never let his condition let him down. He lived in a group home here and he loved it. They did so much with him. He started to go downhil when his dad passed away years ago. Last we heard was he was living with my sil, but something must have happened and he came back here. The paper just said he passed away and not much else.

I am so sorry to hear this.

I have endured a lot of loss in my life. I have come to believe that we are all here to teach something in our time here. Once that is accomplished we move on. Often that move comes much sooner than those who love us would prefer.

I think you are so right especially with this guy. He taught so many to enjoy life no matter what, his disability never stopped him being happy. I do know he is in such an better place now were hopefully he can walk and talk and be with his dad. he was a very strong young man that meant so much to so many. I so hope they have the services here since he passed away here and that this doesnt come into a big ww3 like it did with my bil.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      @MagsM, It concerns me that your physicians seem to be preoccupied with the concept of "classic celiac disease".  That suggests to me their knowledge of celiac disease may be dated and they don't have a concept yet for the "silent celiac" who doesn't manifest with classic GI symptoms.

      I have copied in a summary of my latest bloodwork from ChatGPT below. My GP will not refer for any further investigation and given that I do not have gastric distress symptoms it doe seem that I do not have classic Celiac but may have some malabsorption issues. I am now considering just going forward with a gluten free regimen and tracking symptoms. I will see the Consultant Otolaryngologist tomorrow and will share these results. I have already ordered the B-Complex and Benfotiamine and will start that regimen soon. Any feedback and your amazing expertise truly appreciated... Key Immunological and Nutritional Findings Test Result Normal Range Interpretation Tissue Transglutaminase IgA.   <0.2 U/mL.      <7.0 =            Negative   Strongly negative — rules out celiac disease Endomysial Antibodies (IgA).    <10                                         Negative   Supports absence of celiac disease Total IgA                                       1.94 g/L            0.65–4.21.   Normal IgG / IgM                                      8.47 / 2.04 g/L                      Normal.      Normal immune status ✅ These results do not indicate immunodeficiency. IgA is sufficient to make celiac testing valid, and IgG/IgM are in normal range. ⚠️ Nutritional / Absorption Concerns TestResultNormal RangeInterpretation Folate (B9)        3.1 ng/mL.          3.1–20.5.       Low-normal — borderline deficient Total Protein.    63 g/L.                 64–83          Slightly low Ferritin.              33 ng/mL.           15–150.        Normal, but low-normal; could reflect depleted stores 📌 This constellation of results suggests possible subtle malabsorption, suboptimal nutrient intake, or a functional GI issue — even in the absence of celiac disease. 🔄 Implications for Ménière’s and Autoimmunity While there's no evidence of classic autoimmune disease or celiac, subtle immune dysregulation and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) cannot be ruled out. Your symptoms and lab pattern could still fit with an immune-mediated or inflammatory trigger for Ménière’s flares. Borderline nutrient deficiencies (folate, protein) may affect inner ear function or neuronal stability, indirectly exacerbating symptoms. Nutrient absorption issues might stem from subclinical GI inflammation, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities. 💬 Suggested Talking Points for Consultant Could a functional immune or inflammatory mechanism be driving Ménière’s in the absence of overt autoimmunity? Does a trial of immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., steroids, antihistamines) make sense if flares persist despite dietary changes? Would referral to a GI specialist or dietitian be appropriate, given borderline folate, protein, and symptom profile? Continue gluten-free diet trial for 4–6 weeks to assess symptomatic improvement, even in absence of celiac serology. Explore possibility of non-IgE food sensitivities or mast cell activation, especially if symptoms are episodic and food-triggered.

      It seems the "fad" diet is working for you.
