Glutenfree And Diminishing Cravings

Hi I am a newbie here, I want to share about my discovery that when I manage to be glutenfree my unwanted (erotic non-porn voyeurist) cravings disapear and become completely manageable. I am able to say no, I dont even have the pull...it is such a relief after decades of suffering with this (as a family man it was highly unwanted and managed it only with therapies /12steps, Freud and co-counseling plus religion/). Although the other celiac symptoms also disappear (itchings, depressive fatigue, epileptic cramps, diarrhea), but this is my biggest prize...so I am baffled when I read others saying they crave this and that...it is obvious that they do not have such a reward...yes, I am always hungry now (especially when in town and I dont have my rice waffles on me) but it is worth while to restrict myself since this diet has such a huge healing effect on me. I wonder if anyone has had similar relief experience? Geo (Budapesht)

On another lsit I got this reply:

(on may 19)I recently

started a food diet a few weeks ago and during the week my diet is basically

gluten free, without that intention. I'm not celiac B"H but I chose foods

that happen not to have gluten or small traces of it. On Week

I have found that adding chery flavored minerals from Youngevity help a great deal with cravings for carbohydrates.

I am new to the diet and I notice I am loosing water retention weight.

:rolleyes:

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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
