Seafood - Iodine & Dh

Seafood is my absolute favourite food on the planet. I've been diligently avoiding it for months. Tonight for a special celebration Mum had a family/friends to have oysters and prawns. It is a summer tradition for us to eat lots of seafood.

Anyway.. I had a reaction within minutes.

I wonder what other peoples experience with the iodine/seafood has been?

Another thing.. and this seems very crazy... I had a strange sense that eating seafood (iodine OVERLOAD) tonight then having a massive itch fest was actually a flushing of the gluten. I know this could be controversial so please stay calm! Just want to put it out there. Wonder what other peoples experience/sensation with iodine has been?

BTW unlike when I've overdone processed foods (gluten-free) or unintentional glutening this "episode" of itching has been somewhat temporary. Oysters/Prawns about 2-3 hours ago and although initial reaction was immediate and intense, I am actually feeling like it is temporary - no serious new outbreaks etc.

I so wish someone would do a decent and thorough research of this condition!!!!!!!!!!

I had sushi last week for the first time since going low iodine (ive eaten seafood but not that large of quantity). Woke up with a red warning spot. Not a major outbreak but a little spot.

It was the clearest indicator yet that it's iodine (and not dairy, etc). The only food I'm not eating now is gluten....

I know what you mean about the temporary itching....it would freak me out. I'd check every 5 minutes to see if I had a bump.

Seafood caused me no problems whatsoever, and I had DH for more than 20 years. Oysters are lower in iodine than many other things, including milk, and prawns are actually very low (shrimp is much higher).

Might be something psychological going on. You expected itching and you got it.

Nope, it's not psychological. The nervousness it causes is, though. Kind of like playing chicken with a train...

My itching was strong at the times of day my DH would normally weep (evenin, morning). It slowly subsided.... Probably was the scabs itching, too. But it did itch after the scabs healed - felt like welts were imminent but never popped up.

I just woke up with a new spot in my other arm....I think too much cumulative iodone. Only other possibility is mozzerella that lists "vinegar" but doesnt specify distilled. Oops.

I went a little egg and milk crazy over Thanksgiving. Back to hot tea and egg whites for a week....thrilling.

Some people are sensitive to iodone, others aren't.

Actually, I was replying to the original poster..

In both the US and Canada, when the single word "vinegar" appears in an ingredients list, it refers to distilled white vinegar.

Diandliam: I've never been able to detect a corelation between iodine intake (or seafood consumption) and DH symptoms. Some people seem to be more sensitive.

Yes we need more research. Perhaps we should be pressuring our national coeliac associations to lobby on our behalf for controlled studies.

Glad you are feeling relief. Me too. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
