Hate Letter To Gluten

Dear Gluten, Wheat, Barley, etc.,

I.Hate.You. You have made my life pretty miserable. You ruined so many things for me. Why are you so offal to my stomach? You make it hurt like no other-you give me unbarable stomach issues. You disabled my body from absorbing any nutrients, you dirty rotten scum. Thanks for making me so sick all those years. You take away my focus and my ability to really listen, you took away my ability to really do my best in school. And aside from all of this, which REALLY makes me hate you-is the fact that you hurt my personality. You made me stuck in a "fog." I couldn't laugh, or be crazy, or have fun, because you forced me to be stuck in a foggy state of mind. Your the ultimate fun-sucker. You made me angry and anxious. You caused me to have very little pacients, to be very quick-tempered, to be jumpy and annoyed. You made me ask what was wrong with me, when really, it was you all along. And for this reason, I hate your guts(and dont forget you destroyed mine). I'm SO glad i learned to stay away from you. I'm SO glad I live without you now. I'm completely better without you; I'm a different person without you! So stay away from me-forever. I'll never, ever miss who I was when I was around you. Because I truely HATE YOU!

:) I just had to get that out.

Feel better?

If only we could go to the police and get a restraining order. Can see it now:

Me: I need a restraining order. He beat up my gut & gave me brain damage. As a result, I have intestinal damage & malnourishment & pain.

Officer: Your husband/ boy friend sounds like a real winner. Let's get started on the paperwork. His name?

Me: Gluten aka wheat, rye and barley. Occasionally, know as oats.

Officer: :huh: or :angry: or :unsure:

I think I'm angrier with gluten for sneaking into so many places where it doesn't belong. Like soy sauce. But then again, I haven't healed my guts yet.

Actually, there sort of is... The top right corner of a post is a plus & a minus button. These give you a " reputation". Don' t use the minus unless the poster is bad. I'll "plus" you so you can see.

      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
