Nice comment. The longer I'm gluten-free, dairy-free, the more I have come to realize these things. I don't think we were meant to consume all the things we do. I have to say that sometimes being gluten-free, dairy-free is no fun, but I've also never been as healthy as I am now. Life is short enough, why spend it stuffing our faces with things that make us miserable and probably aren't good for us anyway?

I agree. Now that I can't consume all the junk I used to eat with my friends, the vast amounts of it are suddenly more visible. Sure, I'm new to the gluten-free diet and and am struggling to bounce back from a glutening by cross-contamination, but I'm not the one hitting Taco Bell or McDonald's between classes and then complaining about not being able to concentrate during a lecture, or drinking can after can of Mountain Dew and still falling asleep on homework papers. Even after a glutening, I'm thinking more clearly than I used to. I always tried to avoid the Pop Tarts, Easy-Mac and whatever-all-else, but when if I was out of snack food and it went on sale I stocked up.

Looking at the price stickers takes a bit of adjusting, but I'm spending about the same amount of money or even less than I did before because I can't give in to random chow stops at an ever-present dollar menu.

Rats additionally pretty much everything since their species grew up feeding off the trash of our species. Because of this similar upbringing they can also experience many of the same dietary issues as us including diabetes and gluten sensitivity.

I fully agree with how absolutely ridiculous it is that we expect all food to be super cheap so we can afford to spend money on a bunch of plastic junk that will be in a landfill in less than 5 years. If industries were paid based on how important their product really is, farmers would be the second richest group of people, right under water treatment engineers. Every molecule that we ingest or imbibe has the potential to become a piece of our body, how is that not more important than the latest piece of italian cloth that we'll give to goodwill as soon as next season's fashions come in?

It's another example of the ever-present cliche, "You get what you pay for."

      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.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
