Interesting.

Do you think that this is only related to non-celiac gluten intolerance (like Lyme would be), or do you think this is a potential cause with possible treatment/cure for celiac?

I have mycoplasma AND lyme...and I do believe that this is correct. I think my mycoplasma makes me even sicker than the lyme does. I don't think people give mycoplasma enough credit! It's a doozy of an infection.

I'd like to see information on how you'd go about treating a mycoplasma infection. I've been on cordyceps for months now which is supposed to help, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a specific herb or protocol that specifically addresses it.

Its a common infection found in certain conditions in which the immune system is compromised.....its a common co-infection of Lyme.

There is a Dr. Brown who has been successful treating mycoplasma infection with an Abx called Minocin. A lot of doctors support this treatment. Google it.

I'm not entirely sure about that but it wouldn't hurt to get tested for it and treated if found. According to Dr. Nicholson, if you are infected with one or various species of mycoplasma you run the risk of auto-immune disorders among other things. The list of disorders encompassing this bug is very disturbing. List can be found here: Open Original Shared Link

Rachel, or anyone else: Do any of you know anything about mycoplasma infection diagnosed alone, i.e., not apparently a co-infection?

In the 90's (of course I will admit I was symptomatic of celiac then without knowing it) I became really ill with massive fevers and chills, cold clammy sweats and total exhaustion. After a visit to the emergency room at the urging of an R.N. I was treated by an infectious disease specialist and told it was a mycoplasma infection (don't know which type, didn't know then there were more than one). Besides massive doses of iboprofen and tylenol I was given a course of an unremembered antibiotic for four weeks only. It did seem to go away and I have never had a recurrence of those symptoms. Then two months ago my massage therapist gave me an article about the connection between mycoplasma and AIDS, Gulf War Syndrome, CFS, Crohn's and "various arthritides". The article said mycoplasmas can change the normal functioning of an invaded cell and that they can even cause RNA and DNA mututation of the host cells, linking them to cancer for this reason and that once inside a white blood cell, mycoplasmas can travel throughout the body and even cross the blood/brain barrier and into the central nervous system and spinal fluid. It also stated that due to its ability to either activate or suppress the immune system, it is now being considered one of the culprits of many autoimmune diseases. I found it very interesting.

I have not gone online to check the link, but it was printed from Open Original Shared Link

      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?

      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.
