Not everyone has a biopsy for their 60th birthday and then finds out that they have Celiac Disease! I thought Ok I can handle that but it isn't as easy as I thought. I have been ill since Sept (this time) and my gall bladder was removed Dec17-that obviously wasn't the cause of stomach pain',malaise nausea fatigue etc. I got worse.I know see that it has been going on for 30 years. Three weeks ago I started this diet wih great expectation but since Saturday I have experienced dizziness,increased pulse, sore tongue, chills,tinnitis, and fatigue plus. I know my lab work is borderline for pernicious anemia and I have a history of thyroid problems so I'm back to the doc to check those out later today. I'm sooooo frustrated. My motto has always been "This too shall pass" But when

Anxiously yours

Hello & Welcome.

What a treat--- biospy for your 60th! Happy Birthday ... I'm a couple years older than you!!!! You have the right idea-- this too will pass& then you will find good health ... It is always interesting when we finally find out what has been ailing us for so many years. Remember ailments you have, have been going on for years with or without prior knowledge. It does take time for out intestinal tract to heal, later than sooner for some. There really isn't a time frame as we all are so different. Also you may more in tune with your body now & feel & see things happening that you may have never noticed before. It is very common to feel worse before our bodies start to make the changes & repairs it needs to heal itself.

Try to start out eating plain ( Naked) foods ie: plain meats, fish, veggies, fruits.

thyroid & P. Anemia go hand in hand with celiac....

Stay with your positive attitude, it does get better. If you need any help please ask....feel free to pm me anytime...

Wow great birthday present! I found out just after my 40th birthday when I ended up in the ER after all the celebrating with pizza, cake and other goodies.

I have been battling dizzy spells and it's been linked to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance for me. It's really a battle to stay hydrated and keep the electrolytes up. If I am lax about getting my water in or the electrolytes I get dizzy again.

I have hypothyroidism too and the doc told me that any autoimmune disorder will make you severely dehydrated, so if you have a whopping two of them, dehydration is a huge issue.

I would think the borderline anemia would also be a culprit for those symptoms. Hang in there!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
