Is It The Gluten Or The Ph That Gets Us?

I started getting more into PH after reading some alarming issues that I knew nothing about. Low P.H. level in the body actually tear the body apart much like people undiagnosed with Celiac Disease. I grew up on a diet of meat, mash potatoes, bread, milk and beans. Sounds like a well rounded meal. WRONG. Everything is an acid. Then I would get up for school and have corn flakes in milk. ANOTHER ACID BOMB. Then I get to school and have a burger or whatever the school was offering.. Acid. Throw in the daily coke and my whole life is a car battery.

Thanksgiving.

Ever noticed after Thanksgiving, everyone is tired. It's not the turkey that is doing that to us. It's that ALL the items: mash potatoes, turkey, bread, stuffing, canned veggies are an ACID. Now your body goes into danger mode and starts searching the organs for Alkaline to boost the PH levels.

I started eating El Pollo Loco: chicken, mash potatoes and pinto beans and water. Then I'd have yogurt for breakfast and a few walnuts in the afternoon. I thought I was doing great until I found out that all those things are... you guessed it. ACID. I think some of the people who test negative for Celiac are actually feeling better because the gluten is pegged on the acid side which lowers their PH. Removing that acid bomb ups the PH iin their body. So I guess, even though you are eating gluten free, you can still be eating like your not. It's not the food thats gets you. It's the combination. PH IS HUGE

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
