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...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
