Hi Sorry Not Been Here For A While Need Your Help

Hello guys hope your all okay...its mand..xx

Okay, now I am still not counting out celiac as I have strange rashes or patches of dry itchy skin in little clusters which looks like herpes on my body in different places , chest, back, leg..looks like exma but more like herpes - does taht sound like DH to you??

The secnd thing is -wheni do the diet I have a whole other load of stuff that happens which teh doctors think is my hormones..

So my belly feels a bit better with the candida and celiac diet but then I get:

Big puffy face (moon Face)

Weight Gain

Constant weeing after every glass of water

Heat intolerances - my wholebody sweats if only a bit warm

Palms of hands keep shriveling up likebeenin a pool for hours and tthen the skin goes very tight and flakes -this happens at teh same time as the weeing...(Possibly to do with Aldorsterone or DI)

Bad fatigue during the day

Night time anxiety - insomnia, waking up to wee all the time

Excersise intolerance

Dr hair

Dry skin

Muscle tne very poor

change in fat distribution in my body

What I wanted to ask was is any one a celiac and hypothyroid? If so, does teh celiac diet cure the thyroid? is teh thyroid just a spin off from celiac???

I am having allmy hormones tested next week and I want to make sure I am doing things right. If I am on celiac diet will my thyroid or hormone problem show if Iam doing the celiac diet??

I know if iam doing the diet Ihave thyroid symptoms or hormone symptoms...I think this is why I dont ever feel better. They have said possibly hypopituitry..so I just dont knwo what to think anymore..

But if this rash is DH - Iamgoing tuesday to docs and Iam going to insist have it biopsied to confirm if Ihave DH!!!

Thanks guys..I am just confused as wheni saw neurologist the first time I had no reflexes and I was off the diet, but next time I did and I was on the diet!!!so, maybe the diet effects me neurologically..

Sorry hope your all okay missed you loads..Ive been on hormone sites trying to work out what else is happening, also Iam helping people on a thyroid site at teh moment with Diet and excersise as I was a trainer before all this. It helps keep my mind focused on something else....so been quite busy inbetween being ill..

Welcome back!

Yes, Thyroid can be related to Celiac. The diet helps some, but not everyone with their thyroid.

You need:

TSH

Free T3

Free T4

And all of the thyroid antibodies

You should also have them check your adrenal gland function

Hope you feel better soon.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
