Grocery Shopping Could Cause A Reaction

I want to alert others to a possible problem.

Within the last 8 months I have had to tell my husband he is going 100% gluten free. He must use gluten free breads, pastas, etc and can no longer bring anything into the home that is not gluten free. If he so much as toasts, microwaves or reheats on the stove a non gluten-free item I end up -- rashing out, itching all over, and with symptoms of Asthma. Since my BelAir grocery store remodeled,they decided to place their bread aisle in the same aisle - directly across from -a wall of refrigeration units. I started out not being able to go down that aisle and then I could not go down the adjoining aisles and now I have to stop shopping there all together. I have in the past talked to the manager with no results. So I E-mailed corporate.I am awaiting their response.

A month ago I went to my mother in laws flower class and ended up itching and not being able to breathe and found out that they had a kitchen 20 feet away that was preparing for a banquet. This new -affliction- now makes it hard for me to go to other family members homes. I have had to " hibernate" and stay away from family during fall thru winter due to Severe Chronic Idiopathic Neutropenia, which is a condition where my body cannot keep healthy White Blood cell count, so I already had to forgo seeing family during these months. Now I must add the rest of the year. Needless to say I have had many tears

because of this. So please be careful! Anne

This makes life difficult. I know of people who wear masks when they go out. Maybe that would help you too?

I do not mean to be 'preach-y' but this is an excellent lesson for all of us that celiac disease is an auto-immune disease.

I am sorry that things are so difficult for you farmer jennings, I cannot imagine how tough it is for you. It is terrible to have to be isolated. Do you know anyone in your area with celiac disease --that you might be able to spend time with -just so you do not feel so isolated. You have my sympathy.

THank you both for your love. Yes it is hard and I thank god for my loving husband. I have thought about seeking out a support group but I have to be extremely careful with my white count. Since I got rid of all bread I heve felt like a weight has been lifted off by system and I am thinking thjat I might have an allergy to yeast. It seem like one step forward two back on a continual basis. I know God is there walking the walk with me which gives me the gumption to go on and keep kicking butt!!

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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
