I'm having a breakout right now from being glutened at a restaurant last week. Did it say how much magnesium? That would be great if it could really help the rash.

A good magnesium supplement is in the form of Magnesium Glycinate*. I'm not an expert on it, but I use it for a heart-related condition. Some types are not worth the bottle that they come in. This form (glycinate) is often taken by professionals in the nutricional health field. The brand that I've been using is KAL, and is easily available. It seems to not cause stomach and digestive upset, and is said to be highly absorbable so less is needed. There are other good manufacturers of it, as well. I get it at the Vitaminshoppe stores, and it's also available online:

Be sure to get your daily calcium requirement, also.

Here's a posting from a qualified supplement expert ("Marie") from another web site that I frequent:

Most qualified, reputable naturopaths use magnesium glycinate.

Magnesium oxides...definitely not (not absorbable)

Magnesium citrate...ick...causes loose stools

Magnesium orotate...you have to take too many of them because of their elemental calcium load and they are too expensive.

Magnesium malate....mostly for relaxation.

Magnesium sterates....absolutely not, not, not, doesn't even qualify.

Magnesium needs something to bind to in order to get absorption. Without it you will just excrete the magnesium pronto (bring a good book to the bathroom).

Different "forms" of magnesium have different levels of elemental magnesium, important to know because you will have different levels with different forms.

Glycinate seems to yield a very adequate amount of elemental, is highly absorbably and will generally not cause any gastric upset. That's what we use. M

**************

Carlson, and Kal make a mag glycinate in 200 mg tablets. Other Brands like Douglas Labs, Tyler and Pure Encapulsations make a mag glycinate but it will be a lower strength. I do have less arrhythmia when I use a seperate night dose of mag other than my Cal - Mag for bones.

I have heard also that there was some product out there that breaks down gluten. Do you have any idea what the name is or could you lead us to any materials that you have seen on the subject?

Thanks

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
