Have Been Trying To Stay Away From Gluten- Lump On Back Head

I have been trying to stay away from gluten, though around every 2 weeks I make a mistake ( also have been trying to stay away from monosodium glutamate). I notice the days I've ated gluten my hiccups return, stomach symtoms etc... Before I go to my main point, since staying away from gluten my hair texture has improved as I've stated before it should. I'm starting to think I could have a thyroid problem, possible?

I have a lump on the left side of my head ( back of head). I can place my hand on it ( as if I'm placing it on my heart) and I can feel it beat, like the feel of your heart beating within your chest. What could this be? My lump is just being ignored, as well as my symptoms.... many think I'm making it all up, my imagenation, or I simply want attention. Though my rash, and other symptoms ( and the visible improvement of my hair texture) is all just being ignored. What do you think of my lump, thyroids etc.... I have many symptoms, some that I have almost got adjusted to and thought it was normal... and came to the stage of ignoring them, but now since veiwing symptoms of diabetes, thyroid, and other celiac symptoms it all gave awareness.

I also question... it seems like when I take vitamins before I go to sleep my body intakes it better/ more. Any ideals of what this could be?

Sorry, by whom are these symptoms being ignored--family, friends or doctors? If it's by doctors, you need to see different doctors. Is it a new lump on the head or has it always been there?

As to thyroids, many celiacs also have thyroid problems. You should certainly get it checked and again, if doctors are ignoring it, get different doctors.

As to vitamins, they're generally supposed to be taken with meals. You might indeed have better uptake taking them before sleep, but you're probably also damaging your stomach. Don't take vitamins without food, and eating just before sleeping is a prescription for not sleeping very well. Better just to take them with meals.

My symptoms are being ignored by everyone, doctors and family. Though now it seems like a few aunts of mines may be suspecting that I'm right with my conclusions, maybe after seeing my hairtexture improve as I said it should once my health improves a little. I'm seeing a physcrist Wensday and my mom completely told me if they perscribe medicine for me "take it." I thought that was just rude etc... since I know it's not a mental problem but health problem. I'm just really annoyed by all of this, I mean some people say well you look healthy to me. Just because I look healthy doesnt mean anything, and I know how I'm suppose to look when I'm healthy. I had the lump on the back of my head since my symptoms started, and that was about 8th grade. Though my original hairtexture switch throughout my entire life, but near end of middle school and throught high school it never came back. One of the best gifts ever is when my health problem is solved.

I had a lump on the back of my head, behind my right ear, right along my hair line. It got larger each year. It was about an inch long. It also pulsed. My dertotologist told me what it was but I forgot the offical name. Anyway, it was a bundle of blood vessels that had grown out of control and would continue to grow. My dermo said if I would bump it I would bleed and bleed and bleed so she removed it. It was very minor surgery. That was over a year ago and it hasn't grown back. It had nothing to do with Celiac or gluten.

Well it could be possible that I could have the same type of lump as you, though mines is in a completely different area. That explains why my lump hasn't been improving since I removed gluten from my diet, though other symptoms have. Yeah, the lump on my head pulses. I will just go Wensday and maybe the physcrist will order me to see a doctor and know I'm not crying for attention, or imagenation.

Oh yeah my lump does have symptoms as well, though I do know celiacs who have a lump and it relates to being celiac.

I should also mention one of the symptoms with the lump is changing shapes

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
