Hello, I am from colorado and have been gluten free for a few months now due to living in pain for the past 6 years. First off I am not the best speller in the world so please excuse me hehe ..

I have always have had little health and body issues growing up .. female issues sense i was 13 .. surgery when i was 17 for sists .. Just alot of little issues . After I had my second child witch was a very diffcult birth leading to a emergency c-section. I was dealing with such horrible pain.. Where it started in my joints and spread thru out my body leaving me basically exhuasted and in pain all the time .. Depression and fogness often happened.. Basically started hiding my self because i was never well enough to do anything .. No one of course seemed to understand i seemed healthy no reason why i should be hurting so bad i coulndt move and when i did i was in tears.. Finially after 6 years of dealing with this I went to a natrulist doc who suggested I have a serve allergy to gluten.. I am still in the healing phase and seemed to have picked up a slight dairy allergy now but as my doc said it will be temp.

It is nice to find a forum where people understand and dont look at ya like you have two heads when you explain your issues.. I just wanted to introduce my self and thank you all for leanding support to eachother cause it is so needed..

Thank you all :)

Wow, it sounds like you have had a pretty rough time! there are definately people here who can relate. It must be a good feeling to finally have an answer to what was causing your problems, now you can be well. Good luck on your recovery and welcome. I have found lots of comfort and learned a great deal from this forum.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Idnam! Ranitidine and Famotidine are not proton pump inhibitors. They are H2 blockers. It is true that histamine intolerance is common in the celiac population. We often don't produce enough of a histamine regulator called DAO (diamine oxidase). Not sure, but this may be due to damage to the gut lining by celiac inflammation. You might also want to research MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) as it is often goes hand in glove with histamine intolerance and is actually the root cause. Or, at least that is my understanding. By the way, you can purchase DAO capsules but there is not clear evidence they work.

      Very interesting, @Idnam.  When I was experiencing this problem at its worse, I found high carb meals like lots of rice or too many cookies were a trigger.

      Oh my, I have always had the symptoms for B12 deficiency, which is why I had the blood test that led to my celiac disease diagnosis I had been taking  B vits have been always been amazed that all ,my bloods were perfectly normal! I queried this many times with my doctor as to whether the B12 was active and being absorbed or whether it was just in my bloodstream. They dismissed this idea. And of course I still take them. Thank you so much, what a revelation and really quite understandable,  I am about due for my annual full blood test so maybe I will just stop taking them?
