I know it is anonymous, but if you could reply to me privately through a private message that would be great.

OA also has great phone meetings. If you have a long distance phone plan it cost you nothing to attend.

to find a meeting _Open Original Shared Link

I listen to the meeting and speakers that are free on i tunes pods casts. Often to help me deal with the thinking of why can"t I have that. Pulse I do have the desire to eat stuff that I know is bad for my health. I find the daily readings and books do apply a great deal for us. I know for me that gluten is like a drug in my system. Even though I ate it till I passed out, made my self ill or moody and ate it despite doctors warnings: there are still times that I want it. I still pause and fill with excitement when I catch a big whiff of somethings that I know will kill me. To me that is an addict.

The meetings may seem odd or annoying at times, I try to remember to take what i can use and leave the rest.

I would love to talk to other people that are both gluten free and in OA.

Yes it is Anonymous but there is not a single person that knows me that does not know that I have food issues.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. I have celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis. I'm also a member of OA. I'd be very happy to have support from other who deal with this disorder and use the OA program to help manuever through the food and emotional mazes. Any interest or know of others who may be interested? Thanks, Frieda

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
