Hi Jason:

Although my digestion was always slow, before I started taking HCl supplements, I can't take those right now. So I have intense gastroparesis. However, I also have the dientamoeba fragilis parasite, which challenges my digestion, and the h. pylori bacteria, which makes my stomach hurt when I stretch it with more than tiny amounts of food. Nevertheless, I realize gastroparesis is symptom, like 'ibs', not a permanent condition or 'disease'. Tonight I'll begin taking alinia for the d-frag critters. I've taken mastic gum for h. pylori for 3 days and no longer have burning pain after eating. Hopefully eliminating d-frag and h. pylori will improve my digestion. (I was much better before those 2 bugs.)

I suspect your gastroparesis will subside after you resolve any gastrointestinal problems which slow your digestion. Have you have follow up stool tests after treating parasites? Maybe you need digestive supplements. Have you ever been tested for hypochloridia?

The first thing you should do is contact your doctor and ask for testing. There are tests to find out if this is the case. You would swallow a solution, make sure to tell them it needs to be gluten free, then they do x-rays to see how long it takes the solution to pass through. If gastroparesis is present you doctor will advise you from there.

My GI doctor thinks I might have a touch of this. However there really is no treatment for it. They use Reglan which I reacted badly too before, so he said it wouldn't really give us much to do. I a hoping as my stomach heals this will get better as well, if it is a problem.

Can the problem really be low stomach acid? i was taking Biogest for 2 yrs with no problems now i cant tolerate it at all. is this maybe why i keep getting parasites? How am i supposed to increase stomach acid, improve my digestion & eliminate parasites if the supplements make me ill?

Hi Jason:

I've read that if your stomach lining is really thin, esp. after damage from h. pylori or other gut bugs, you may not be able to tolerate HCl supplements. I previously tolerated straight HCl capsules very well UNTIL I got an H. Pylori infection, which damaged my stomach. Now I can't tolerate any HCl capsules. BTW Biogest doesn't have much HCl, although it includes other digestive enzymes.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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.
