Thanks for all your support, everyone. I was still feeling under the weather. I went to the doctor, he sent me to get a sonogram (thought it was appendicitis). I just had a sonogram and a million other tests last March when no one could figure out about gluten. So. Guess what. I have two stones in my gall badder, each 1 centimeter. Yeah, someone gave me a sonogram last March and MISSED two gigantic gall bladder stones. So I have to have my gall bladder out. I see from the search engine that a lot of you have had your gall bladders out too--I guess the gluten just taxes our organs.

Well. Kind of discouraged about having to have surgery.

I had mine out about 2 years ago. Surgery went great. 4 tiny little holes (1 hidden in my belly button), I was probably only on the operating table 10 minutes. In recovery I did feel the whole 5-6 inches and was certain I had been fully sliced. I looked and no just the 4 little slices, got some pain meds and was good to go. I feel so much better!

Good luck!

I'm new to this group, but wanted to say that my mother healed her gall bladder through Chiropractic and herbal methods. Removing body parts should be last after everything else is tried. Your chiropractor can check T-7, that's what fixed mine. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself if given the chance.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
