Poll: If A Fairie Could Wave A Magic Wand...

If a fairie could wave a magic wand and make gluten disappear from the face of the earth, how much buisness would the medical "industry" lose overall? 5 percent ? 15 percent ? 50 percent or maybe more? Including the psychiatric field how much work would doctors have left? What do you think?

The more I learn about gluten and it's widespread effect on health , the more I suspect that gluten plays a much bigger role in ruining our health than anyone would ever think. Just wondering I'm the only one who sees gluten as the Darth Vader of our bodies and minds. Am I over-reacting ? but it seems to me that gluten could be the trigger indirectly causing cancer, autism, depression, ADD, osteporosis, all kinds of inframmation, fibromyalgia, GI obv, ataxia, skin diseases ;an endless list, it seems like everything except heart problems and trauma from accidents. Can you picture humanity without gluten? What would our world and society be like w/ out it? Just an exercise , have fun with this!

i think you are giving gluten way too much importance in your life. some people tolerate it just fine, others don't. that's like saying "bees are the devil" because some people are deathly allergic to bees. if i could wave a magic wand i would make my system able to tolerate gluten. sometimes i really, really miss fresh baked bread :(

My magic wand would deliver a huge bacon, cheeseburger on a huge bun with fries with brown gravy and malt vinegar and onion rings -- the thickly breaded kind. :wub:

I am imagining the huge greasy burger you describe hovering in space like the Death Star in Star Wars

I agree that a lot of the suffering in this country would be alleviated. I also agree that many of the diseases you mention can be linked to undiagnosed celiac, especially since many in my family have had multiple systems impacted. Would it 'cure' everything, of course not, would the US health system save a great deal of money by looking for celiac first rather than last, undoubtedly.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
