LIZARD

Recommended Posts

LIZARD Rookie

Anyone else have these annoying, persistent effects when you were just starting to go gluten-free? This has been a problem for a long time, and I thought it was thyroid (I was dx'ed hypo last summer), but it's been pronounced normal now, so is it a celiac thing? I am constantly clearing my throat and using eye drops, but I have no other signs of allergies. Any thoughts on how long it takes to let up??

My throat is a lot better----have to watch the sugar, cause it will cause reflux symptoms. Dry eyes haven't changed---I use prescription eye drops.

I'm not sure what to tell you. My sister and I both lost our voices long before going gluten free. We lost them for nearly an entire summer. Now we have these raspy voices, very similiar to each other, so much so, that when she leaves me a voicemail on my phone, I actually think I am listening to myself at first!!! That happened to us when our boys were in little league, and they are grown men now--we have both been gluten gree for 8 yrs.

As for the dry eye, I have suffered with that for about 2 yrs now. It's been really bad this last winter and spring. Maybe you should check into Sjogrens Disease. Read up on it. Allergies also cause dry eye and dry throat.

OMG...you lost your voice??!! That would kill me!! I sing constantly, and it's the only thing that keeps me from going over the edge most days. (Now Im wondering if that's what's happening to my son. He's nearly 14, so his voice is deepening, but it has a funky raspiness to it...actually, my brother's does, too. Hmm...)

Our kids were in heaven! :lol: They thought it wonderful, no yelling at them! Honest, it lasted all summer.

Now, men tell me it's a very sexy voice! :P

Dairy gives me the constant hurrrumph, makes me feel horrible, causes constipation and I am sure it has contributed to the dry eyes which do seem a bit better since I dropped both dairy and gluten.

I still get some catarrgh even without them both but I hope that will improve as my body finally gets rid of a lot of the crud it has been carting around for the last 50 years!

Nobody says how old they are, but dry eyes can be part of the natural aging process and . . . dare I say it . . . menopause.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
