Why Is Everything Wrong?

Hello -

I hope someone can help as I am at wits end. In the past several years I have had the following:

1. Gall bladder removed (pre-gluten free) all sorts of "sludge in there)

2. Total Hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis (Pre-diagnosis)

POST GLUTEN FREE

3. Peripheral neoropathy - Nerve pain

4. Extreme fatigue

5. Elevated RH Factor but negative ANA - (few years back)

6. Joint pain

7. Doubled liver enzymes, low anion Gap

8. Liver biopsy shows extra iron and inflammation/irritation - mild

9. Weight loss

10. General overall feeling horrible

11. Horrible constipation - could be due to pain relievers

12. Shingles - gone now

Anyone experience all of these things? I made an appointment at Beth Isreal. I am desperate to feel well again. Any insight is greatly appreciated. THank you

Sorry you're feeling so bad. My dad had shingles a year ago and is still suffering the nerve pain, it's horrible.

Do you have any lab results you can post? i.e. thyroid, CBC, iron/ferritin, etc.? Also, have you eliminated any other foods like dairy or soy at all? And are you taking any vitamin supplements and what ones? Are you on hormones?

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
