Drugs And Celiac


NicoleTeresa

Recommended Posts

NicoleTeresa Newbie

Hello,

My name is Nicole and I have Celiac disease. I was wondering if any one else on here does any recreational hallucinogenic drugs (Psilocybin or MDMA). I just recently found out that I have this problem, and have just in the past few weeks started on a gluten free diet. My experience with drugs that require ingestion is that they have an extremely late onset time and that I require a higher dosage. I am 5'4'' and 105 pounds and should only require a relatively small amount of a drug in order for it to take affect. In addition to this, MDMA makes me extremely dehydrated especially because I have trouble retaining and absorbing water. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know any remedies?

Thanks!

I don't know about the illegal drugs, but for the legal ones, they now work quicker and I need less.

If you're going to continue to use ingested drugs, I think you should be extremely careful that you don't accidentally OD because you suddenly start absorbing things better. A better plan would be to stop using everything for six months (OK, forever, but I'll let you make that decision) and if/when you decide to try something, start at a very low dose, and see how it goes.

We're asking us how to take drugs? Really? This site seems to be about getting well. Do yourself a favor and quit taking drugs.

You may start absorbing drugs better once you have healed so do be careful as was stated by the other poster that you don't OD.

Something you really need to keep in mind is that celiac can have neurological effects and make you more prone to anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. When you combine that with psychotropic drugs you are really playing with fire. If you must do something smoke pot. It's safer.

Another thing to consider is that taking the drugs may be an attempt to self-medicate the neurological/emotional effects of your celiac. Just a thought.

not to mention that making decisions about munchies when you're high on hallucinogens isn't very likely! :o

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.
