Drugs And Celiac

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

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
