hi everyone!

i have been diagnosed with DH 2 years ago, im on gluten-free diet since March 2007.

i have a cousin who's taking ALKA-C sodium ascorbate, made some research, its pretty cool, and thought maybe it could help me, with DH and autoimmune disorders.

just want to know if its safe?

thanks!

What immediately struck me is that sodium ascorbate is a form of ascorbic acid, and there are those that claim it is not vitamin C. Some state, that ascorbic acid is only one component of true vitamin C complex, thus will not provide the benefits of the actual vitamin. I have yet to do enough research to decide either way.

This may help in your research:

      Cream of buckwheat

      Welcome to the forum, @Thoas! Just curious. Why do you ask? Is there some reason you are hesitant to try it besides taste?

      Algaecal causing high result in Coronary Artery Calcium test?

      By Capt Jules · Posted

      I was instructed to take Algaecal as alternative to bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. I did for 2 years, 1200 mg a day. My cholesterol spiked above normal during this time. We watched it and finally determined best to get a test to see if calcium was causing the spike. I have never had high cholesterol before. Could the celiac non absorption have caused calcium to build in my arteries? Now put on a statin to lower cholesterol (began at 180 went to 240 while on Alcagal). thanks

      High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating a new diagnosis and setting up a 504 plan in Florida can feel overwhelming, but you’re taking such an important step for your daughter! Common accommodations for students with conditions like celiac or gluten sensitivity include unrestricted bathroom access (with no arbitrary limits), permission to leave class or school abruptly if symptoms flare, excused absences for recovery days without requiring immediate doctor notes, and access to safe snacks or a designated eating area. Some families also request preferential seating near the door for easy exits, extended time on tests if fatigue is an issue, or the ability to keep medication/food in the classroom. As for strict bathroom policies, a 504 plan overrides those rules—your daughter’s medical needs legally take priority. It might help to specify in the plan that she requires ‘as-needed’ bathroom access or the ability to go home without penalty during a reaction. Many students thrive with these supports in place, but clear communication with teachers (and a backup advocate, like a school nurse) is key. Wishing your daughter a smooth transition—you’re already doing great by advocating for her!
