Tears Of Joy!

I have an unrelated medical problem which causes me considerable pain. I have been unable to find ibuprophen that contains neither gluten nor corn. The pain has been flaring pretty badly lately, and I HAD to take something for it. I have "corned" myself for the past two weeks, just to find some relief. Of course, that has made my psoriasis flare up worse than ever, and my insomnia has come back with a vengence!

My jaw (infection) hurts. My hands hurt. My feet hurt. I can't sleep. I have been tearfully miserable for the past couple of weeks.

At the Gluten Free Festival last week in Rapid City, I talked to the pharmacist who can compound ibuprophen with no gluten or corn. BUT - I need a prescription which means a doctor's office visit, plus the tablets cost about a dollar a piece.

Well, my local pharmacy does not compound mediceines, but I read online yesterday that there is a thing called BC Asperin Powder that is G and C free. From what I read, I thought it was only available in the South, but my local pharmacy can get it! They ordered me some this morning and it will be here Monday. It is only twenty dollars for a bottle of fifty doses. Still a lot, but much less than the ibuprophen would have been.

After they told me, I actually got teared up. Relief is in sight! I just wanted to share my hope and my happiness with you all. Maybe I can get back to feeling as good as I did when I first went gluten-free.

I'm crossing my gluten-free fingers for you!

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
