I was wondering does anyone smoke with having celiac disease? I read something interesting somewhere on this site that Cigarette Exposure Protects Against Adult Celiac Disease??? Is it safe to smoke? :huh:

Safe might not be the right word.

I'm quitting now after smoking ~26 of the last 27 yrs.

Hi,

this is probably the item you are referring to.

Open Original Shared Link.

.

I make reference to this article in My Web Space as the trigger for my Celiac.

.

I nor this article advocates that anyone should smoke to avoid Celiac,

Cigarettes are full of additives and reading the list makes the mind 'boggle' !!

.

I know some of them off hand!

.

Nail Varnish Remover,

Rat Poison,

Rocket Fuel,

.

Read the whole list for yourself, then decide is this what you want to put into your body.

.

I know it can be had to quit! they say 'Nicotine is more addictive than Heroine'.

Yeah Safe was the wrong word to use LOL. I quit in 2004 and have taken a few drags here and there in the past couple of weeks. My stress level was through the roof and I grabbed someones cig and took a drag now I seem to be doing it a little more. I have more medically wrong with me. I go in for surgery next month my 3rd laporoscpy. My sister told me if thats the worst I do then she doesn't blame me.

I smoked for over 20 years before I was diagnoised, so I do not believe smoking protects you against celiac :ph34r:

I quit smoking 4 years ago in order to get "healthy" ... strangely enough it is about the same time that I think the celiac disease really kicked in (although was neither tested nor diagnosed until 1 year ago). Coincidence???? Not sure.

Needing to blame something, anything for the celiac disease, I chose to blame having quit smoking.

Well if smoking helps with stress, and stress can trigger celiac...

It seems so many of the things we do can sometimes be self-medicating...

I smoke the odd cigarette sometimes. Some days none. Somedays 1. Somedays 2. Rarely more than that. Been doing that for awhile. I"ll quit for months at a time if I'm going into some health kick or whatever.. but for whatever reason I have found them beneficial to me at times. Eventually I'd like to be in a place where I don't feel the need for them. I usually will roll my own with organic tobacco...

I think smoking is a scapegoat for all the health problems from bad diets/lifestyles in America. If you actually research it a bit you'd find that the problems America blames on smoking don't really exist in other countries like Greece for example...where the diet is different.

So yeah. Lets not ever exercise. Lets spend our time on freeways smoking car-exhaust for 2 hours a day. Lets sit in front of EMF computers under EMF floro lights all day. Throw on a very unhealth diet on top of that. Not to mention how people are spending less time with their families...the social stress of that...

and then lets blame it all on smoking!! The internet is what is exposing this fallacy now. There is some talk that since the 1930's tobacco companies started using artificial fertilizer on their tobacco...just like other farmers did on their crops. Problem is we smoke the tobacco crops. The native americans supposedly never had issues with tobacco until they started smoking commercial tobacco.

That may or may not matter...but thats why I smoke organic if i do...

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
    • trents
      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
