im still healing. was only in hospital for stomach pain 2 months ago so im not expecting miracles. im slowly feeling much much better, but the past 2 weeks ive been really sore. i mean i havent been out of bed. this is the first time its happened since going gluten free 2 months ago. i was thinking i cross contaminated so ive bought all new kitchen things since. my question is, how do i ease the pain? shorten the length of it? anything really that could help? are there any tricks you guys have that you could share. ive just gotten rid of dairy yesterday and today im even feeling a little less sore. i also take L Glutamine capsules since a few days ago. anything else i should be doing? i cant deal with potent drinks though :blink:

Take probiotics to promote healthy gut flora. Take digestive enzymes to help out your pancreas which may not be producing enough.

Water, drink lots of it.

Taking hot showers helps me when its really bad, heck even a nice hot bath would work (as hot as you can stand it).

Try walking a little bit, sometimes that helps with pain.

Some of us have a situation about that time where our intestinal nerves seem to be healing and sending tons of long dormant info to our brains, confusing the heck out it. For me, starting around 6 weeks, it was like static on a radio that is not tuned to a station turned up real loud. Just constant bombarding my consciousness with a bunch an unchanging static that was very unpleasant. On top of that all of the normal movement down felt very strong and cramp-like. I would wake up with only the noise...then about the time my breakfast started moving through my intestines it would be this near constant over-communication from all that was going on down there.

I think after a time your brain adjusts to having the info again and does the proper things with it (subconsciously) and you are no longer aware of it.

After a few weeks the noise has died down now for me, and the over-communication of the movement seems to be limited to the last part of the small intestine just before it empties into the large int.

Hang in there. It will get better with time.

Gluten often has a negative effect on our pancreas - which is a little factory which manufactures enzymes which help us digest our food, lipase for fat, amylase, cellulase, etc., etc., and the pancreas takes a little holiday, leaving us with difficulty digesting the food that is coming through the intestinal tract. Taking these supplements helps the digestion so that food does not putrefy in the gut. :D or does not churn around in there needlessly or hurry through as fast as it can.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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
