It's Wednesday And I Still Can't Shake A Mean Case Of The Mondays!

So..Monday...against my better judgement, but seriously, sometimes you just gotta follow your heart...I got an ice cream at the local scoop shoppe! I got it in a dish, and i asked them to get a clean scoop....I know that won't stop the cross contamination but it will help some.....anyway, i got a scoop, and the best ice cream i have had in a long time and now....i know i have been glutened and I can't shake the blahs! I seem to get minor symptoms if there is minute cross contamination, and this is the first time in my Celiac life that i have EVER done anything like this (ie..put myself at risk)...I get a very itchy rash that goes away after a few days..but the big problem is i crave sugar like it's the only food on earth. Yesterday I ate an entire medium size bag of Peanut M&M's (the bag that cost 4 bucks!) and an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Today, a king size bag of M&M's, a snickers, a box of Jr. Mints..and i told my boyfriend to not buy me any ice cream even if i kick, scream, cry and pout. I try to not buy it, but then I seriously find myself being completely unable to function. I try to buy smaller sizes of candy...but then i just wind up going back to the snack machine over and over. someone told me once that Celiac's tend to crave sugar more.....anyone know what is going on? What i can do? i definitely won't be getting anymore ice cream from the scoop shoppe, but this is just one example of when it happens....

thanks!!!

The thing about sugar is that it makes you want more sugar . . . what works best for me is that when I give into the craving, to also eat something else . . . something in the protein family. If I'm eating cookies then I drink a bunch of milk . . . they go nicely together and I will stop with the cookies much quicker. Eat a handful of almonds or a spoon of peanut butter.

Btw . . . my experience has nothing to do with a glutening . . . and everything to do with just craving something sweet. :ph34r: Don't know if it will work for you but it's worth a shot.

      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
