marijuana will only stunt ur emotional/intellectual development and not cure you of any other symptoms--just temporarily cover them up while damaging your brain cells.

My bro started smoking pot at age 13 & now he's a 50 yo man with the mind/emotional maturity of a 13 yo. no wife, no money, no kids, just lives minute to minute stoned.

are you eating gluten-free? if so for how long? The pain may eventually subside. It often does.If you can't sleep get a sleep study done . They will determine why you can't sleep (if its physical like apnea) How is ur mattress?--perhaps its not right for you & you may need a new one. For anxiety take yoga, & learn how to relax, exercise helps too--swimming, aerobics, weightlifting, dancing, whatever you like. Perhaps some short term counseling for your anxiety will help you learn to solve problems rather than getting anxious & fearful about them.

You see there are many ways to deal with what you are going thru in a constructive positive way rather than being stoned on pot.--legally or not.

Please get the proper help that you need--I assure you medical marijuana is not the answer.

That is something you should talk to your doctor about. It could be helpful for some issues but it does have drawbacks when abused. Celiac is one of the diseases that it is approved for in some states. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it could be useful or suitable for you.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
