hi everyone...

not sure where to start lol

I actually tried to register here tonight when it told me my email address was already in use. Seems i signed up here 2 years ago and forgot about it. :blink:

Thiinking back i must have signed up when i first became ill, looking for info as to why i was so sick.

So here i am, 24 months later having been recently diagnnosed with Fructose Malabsorption. Now before you tell me im on the wrong forum, please let me point out that people with FM are not allowed to eat wheat as it contains fructans. So to make things easier for me I have started to buy gluten-free foods. :lol:

If there is ayone else here with FM, id love to hear from you.

cheers!!

My friend's mother has FM too. It seems to be an Australian thing as both of us are based in Australia (Canberra) too!

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview: Do you have access to your medical record/test results online? What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.

      Is tTG 9 normal after 4 months gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @lizzie42, I have dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks when I am exposed to foods high in iodine.  Iodine can cause dermatitis herpetiformis to flair up badly.  So I avoid high iodine foods like dairy products, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish), Eggs, and iodized table salt.  Spinach,  potatoes, kale, and kelp are high in iodine, too. The antibodies that cause dermatitis herpetiformis are tTg 3 IgA.  The tests for Celiac Disease measure tTg 2 IgA antibodies.  The dermatitis herpetiformis tTg3 antibodies can hang around for two years or more and become more active when exposed to iodine without having gluten present.  Dermatitis Herpetiformis is pressure sensitive and are apt to form under tight clothing like belts, bras and underwear, seams on tight clothing, etc.   I find tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite gluten free brand) eases the itching and helps heal the blisters without scaring.  Niacin Vitamin B 3 helps the body rid itself of the dermatitis herpetiformis antibodies.  Niacin is one of eight essential B vitamins which should all be supplemented together because they all work together in concert.  Niacin is instrumental in the body's production of Serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter.  The body turns Niacin into Tryptophan, which is used to make Serotonin.  So when I have dermatitis herpetiformis flairs, I also take Tryptophan at bedtime, and Niacin and a B Complex during the day.   Hope this helps!  I know how miserable dermatitis herpetiformis can be.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      hi Ya Trent, I really like my gastroenterologist; he mentioned it casually. maybe he thought I knew it. These tele appointments are good for getting to the point. I think he used the marker word. I will ask. PTL.

      @MegRCxx, it is common for people with celiac disease to have other food intolerances as well. Most common offenders are oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy. Soy, eggs and corn are less common but not rare. So, factor into your consideration.
