Walmart And Gluten Free Section

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL!! Even if you shop in a store where they have a gluten-free section, some shopper might have picked something up in a different part of the store, then noticed they had a gluten-free version of it and just plopped the gluteny one on the shelf and taken the gluten-free one instead. Or maybe something that always used to be gluten-free has changed their recipe and it is no longer gluten-free. We can't rely on the employees to read the label and determine it no longer belongs in the gluten-free section.

No matter where you shop and how many times you have purchased something, ALWAYS READ THE LABEL.

EXACTLY! We are responsible for our own health. I would not dare leave these decisions to others. Prior to my own celiac diagnosis I knew so very little about it and cannot expect everyone, including employees, to be well versed in it (though that would be lovely).

Indeed!

I do not do much shopping in the 'middle' isles. I may go down them to find a spacific thing (peanut butter i'ma lookin' at you), but elsewise i steer clear.

For example, the one store i normally go to has a gluten free section, but they also put 'organic' things at the bottom row....

I think most stores do that, actually, One special diet merges into another, into and out of organic, gluten free, diabetic....

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, there's no need to keep checking blood antibody levels.  The tests are meant to be used as diagnostic tools.  It can take several years for antibodies to completely disappear, if ever.   Do get checked for anemia and thyroid problems if you fail to bounce back.   I understand what it's like not to have family support.  You've got a large tribe here that believe.   Take care of yourself.  Sending hugs!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Confused about my results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Do get checked for all kinds anemia, iron deficiency anemia, B12 deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia, B6 deficiency anemia.  Anemia is very common in Hashimoto's!   Anemia, Diabetes and thiamine deficiency are known causes of seronegative Celiac Disease.   You only need one gene for Celiac.  Welcome to the tribe! Keep us posted on your progress.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome may be related to Thiamine Vitamin B1  deficiency.     Hyperemesis is a symptom of thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from the diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain function and decrease of symptoms.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates can result in thiamine deficiency.   Many children on the Autism spectrum benefit from supplementing Thiamine.  See the research done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs' at the website hormonesmatter.com, or published on NIH pubmed.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some Celiacs react to the dairy protein Casein the same as they would to gluten. This could explain your ongoing inflammation.   Allergies can raise your histamine levels as can processed gluten free products.  To clear histamine, certain vitamins can help, B12, Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and Thiamine B1.   Optimal Vitamin D levels are between 80 and 100.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Seems like addressing nutritional deficiencies would be beneficial to you.  Blood tests aren't accurate measurements of the stores of vitamins inside cells in the tissues and organs where they are utilized.  Blood levels of vitamins can reflect what you've eaten in the past day or two.   Processed gluten free foods do not have vitamins added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  Vitamins are chemical compounds our bodies cannot make, so we have to get them from what we eat.  The gluten free diet can be short in some vitamins and minerals, so supplementing can be beneficial, especially since you're still having inflammation.
