Exercise, Detox, Vitamin Regimens


Artemis-03

Recommended Posts

NOTE TO ANYONE WHO IS STUMBLING ALONG DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF DISCOVERING THEY HAVE CELIAC/GLUTEN-INTOLERANCE: JEREMIAH WEED SWEET TEA VODKA IS DISTILLED FROM GRAINS, THUS HAS GLUTEN IN IT.

That being said, I'd like to know if anybody has tried exercise 9-10 hours after sipping/eating something with gluten in it and whether or not it has helped improve the time it is within them.

I feel it makes a large difference, along with Biotin and Evening Primrose Oil the body is more in tune, therefore, better equipped to move said toxin through out the system. And though many of you argue that the only way to seek a cure from gluten is to avoid from it, sometimes it cannot be helped. In this scenario I point back to B vitamin complex and EPO seems how the part of the brain that gets neurologically "fuzzy" after the consumption of gluten is inhibited (thus triggering the hung-over sensation in the body) can be easily corrected through the supplementation of the two above vitamins AND nix the time you experience symptoms in half.

Along with this, might I add a healthy diet of Probiotics after a slight fast. Chobani Yogurt with organic honey might very easily ease the stomach or some Lifeway Kefir supplement that is drunk between detoxing on Kumbacha can quickly ease any burden in the gut. This, ALONG with exercise, helps to more quickly and easily move the symptoms from out the body. Though, to add to that thought, I know some suffer from severe abdominal cramps and from them I suggest all but exercise-- or-- if one can manage, a simple yogic twist.

It has worked for me, I think it's all a matter of taking care of yourself.

I'd be very interested to hear what the moderators have to say about the first statement in all caps. And to take into account the info that is out there, like in the article below:

Open Original Shared Link Use This To Link To Spam.com/?Gluten-Free-Eating---Is-Distilled-Alcohol-OK?&id=3865232

And also about the time frame of "moving the toxin though." I would think that since your body mounts a response with initial exposure, it wouldn't matter if the toxin leaves any faster than normal because the response has already been triggered. Of course you wouldn't want it hanging around longer than normal...

Anyway - good food for thought. Thanks for posting. Moderators?

ok, bummer. The article didn't post. It's from EnZArticles.com and is in response to the question: "Gluten free eating: is distilled alcohol ok?"

YoloGx Rookie

Distilled alcohol hasn't worked for me either. I had violent D after simply kissing an ex boyfriend who drank the stuff. Tinctures too are out of the question. I avoid shampoos that have tinctures as well as body lotion. I use plain jojoba oil, coconut oil and olive oil on my skin instead.

As far as the biotin --I take the B vitamins in a complex regularly in the co-enzyme form (country life) on an empty stomach--which makes them more bioavailable. It is true my symptoms aren't as bad overall as they were in the past when I get CC'd . However the symptoms are still not pleasant at all.

I also take evening primrose oil regularly too.

I am now having trouble walking through certain aisles at Home Depot! I also have to avoid bakeries or anyone's house where they are or have recently baked wheat etc. items from scratch. Its the dust in the air. My body thus seems to be very hyper-vigilant unfortunately. I am thus considering doing some hypnotherapy on this subject to lessen my reactivity. I have read it can help lessen autoimmune reactions. Already hypnotherapy has made it so I can now have a few frozen berries each day whereas before I could not tolerate any fruit at all (caused eczema like symptoms).

Exercise definitely helps. Its just getting myself to do it initially after CC that is very hard! These days I often have inflammation in my joints as well as an aching head par xxx! It causes lumps after all! I know to exercise but usually can't bring myself to it until the worst is over. Massage does help but then again afterwards I often get queasy. The stuff is in there! I often roll around on a small dog toy tennis ball which helps break up some of the crunchiness and do yoga. Sometimes when it starts to wear off I see my chiropractor to help lessen the duration...

Detox herbs help me a lot. I have mentioned this more extensively in older posts. Dandelion, yellow dock, cleavers are high on my list. Don't take while you have D however.

I also am now using relaxing herbs too when its really bad and/or I cant sleep: passion flower, valerian, chamomile, hops. The valerian of course tastes like old socks!

I often take the detox teas regularly--like three times a week just because it seems to help me. I have a damaged kidney after all that I need to look after. I also feel it helps me negotiate when I am around toxic substances from my work as a property manager.

I often take olive leaf tea too as well as other things occasionally to kill off fungi which has become kind of deep seated in my system. It seems to have lessened its impact now that I took lefenuron this summer...but its still there.

24 hour yogurt is a godsend as well as probiotics. I thus make my own yogurt and let it sit gestating for 24 hours on a heating pad before refrigerating it. I am interested in other similar things like making soured probiotic cabbage. I have yet to do it but plan to do so soon.

I also take NAC. Its a precursor to glutathion; it thus helps clean up the toxins in the system.

A lot of people swear by L-glutamine powder. It is very healing of the gut. Avoid this however if you have tendencies to get diabetes.

Marshmallow root is also soothing and healing for the gut -- taken fairly regularly--or alt least after being glutened. Tea is best but caps work too. It is very safe although some avoid it due to thinking it is too gluey for the gut. However for us, soothing, healing gluey stuff may be just what we need, especially if we have been glutened.

Vitamin C is also supposed to help although I am wondering if I am allergic to it...I need to experiment by going with and without it and see. Just goes to show how we are all different.

Other things that help me are fibronyltic enzymes--thus nattokinase (or Japanese natto cakes if one is brave--though they need to be gluten-free!), bromelain & papain (or just eat a lot of pineapple and papaya) and a few others I can't think of right now. They take down scar tissue and inflammation.

Hope this all helps guys!

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
