I just found out in March that I have celiacs and in April that I have crohns. Emotionally I'm holding on by a thread. Anyone out there that's gone through this, on the south end of Co Springs, willing to lend an ear. I need an understanding friend right now.

I am going to a series of stress management classes

lots of prayer

appointment with therapist in June

workout at gym

don't know anyone else with celiac

went to CSA vendor fair last month will try to go to the meeting in June

Normally I am a very even keeled person but this has thrown me for a loop.

You may undoubtedly find that dealing with the Celiac will also sort out the Crohn's, as it is almost certainly caused by the same thing. Gluten.

This is a great place to come and share experience, ask questions, vent and whatever you need. You can pretty much guarantee that what ever you are going through has been experienced in some form by others out there. We all support and encourage each other and it is a great help.

Even if you have no support or 'gluten-free compatriots' around you, there are loads of us here and you never know, you might just find a few local 'buddies' to pal up with through it too.

Celiac and Crohn's are completely linked and are often considered the "same" by many doctors- the reason why I say this is because my former co-workers tested negative for Celiac but was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and was told the treatment was a gluten free diet. One of my former doctor's thought I had Crohn's disease and told me to eat a gluten free diet and my new doctor strongly feels I have Celiac disease and has told me to eat a gluten free diet. I am currently awaiting the test results on the celiac disease. If you keep gluten out of your diet, both your Celiac and Crohn's disease will be managed appropriately. My doctor has even confirmed this as we spoke about this during my visit last week.

And, if you ever need to vent, just jump on this forum and let it out! My mother actually told me about this forum and I have learned so much and comforted to see that there are so many people that know how I feel.

I was reading in wednesday's food section of the gazette that the pikes peak celiac organization is going to be meeting once a month at a different restaurant. My paper got thrown away but my husband THINKS he remembers June 16th at Gertrude's. You can call Gertrude's to see what info they have on how to reserve etc. if any of you colorado springs gals want to attend Sounds like a nice way to get to know fellow CDers.

Hi Guys

Have you heard anything else about Gertrudes? As far as I know the CSA Meeting is on Sat, June 14 at 10 am, at the Holly Branch Library. Platte and Murry, at the NE corner shopping center. I am going to go if you want to meet up and go to Chipotle afterwards. I sent you a personal message if you want to get back with me.

Hope to meet you guys.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

      Fighting for a name

      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.
