Ok, I made my dh watch the dr. Oz show that he did on gluten. Unfourtunatly, it made it worse. We argue all the time now about what I eat. It makes me so angry I see red. He thinks it's to expensive to eat gluten free. He also thinks that gluten in "moderation" is fine. We went to cracker barrel agents my protests on sat. Night. I had the steak salad wig no cheese or crutons. My stomach has hurt since, and now there is mucus in my BM(TMi I know) he thinks it's all in my head because of what he got out of dr.oz's show.

I am nursing a 5 week old, and we have been up all night since sat with bad gas, green and mucusy poop. His explanation for that is "all babies are gassy". Ugh. My last son had really bad food allerigiea that started the same way, but his bm's turned bloody. My pedi told me not to worry unless the new lo's turned bloody. Ugh.

Any articles or info anyone can give me to help him understand?

The gluten-free diet is a lifetime requirement. Eating any gluten, no matter how small an amount, can damage the intestine. This is true for anyone with the disease, including people who do not have noticeable symptoms. It can take weeks

Point out to your hub that Dr Oz and his friend doc on the show are not experts in Celiac. The above people are.

You can probably get similiar info from Mayo, Columbia, & Maryland Celiac Centers if you want to bombard him.

Has he ever visited here? He could do some reading and ask some questions. Or perhaps you could have him talk to your doctor or contact the nutritionist you went to who could talk to him. It sounds like your having a rough time right now and I hope things get better.

There were several things on the Dr. Oz show that weren't right. One was that we can't lick stamps or envelopes. There were others too.

Have your hubby check out the info on the Celiac.com site. There's a lot of CORRECT info here.

Best wishes to you. It's not easy when you're dealing with this disease AND don't have support from your spouse and family.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
