Are Celiacs Really Slowly Dying?

Disturbing. I am following the gluten-free diet but am still having stomach problems all the time. I am wondering if I am sensitive to other things as well. Has anyone else dealt with issues even after going gluten-free? My stomach is always upset and I am worried about my overall health. Why isn't gluten-free working?

Dear Scouts,

Yes, it's true but don't let it disturb you. I've been a Celiac for 30 years (since 1983). I'm still alive! Still strugle with GI issues( IBS, Gerd, Divertilosis?). I struggle with spelling too. :rolleyes: I relapsed in 2007(cheated). Again, in 2012(cross contamination suspected) If you could tell the forum more about your situation, that would be helpful. Afterall, that's what this forum is all about. Lots of members willing to help you.

My best wishes for a long and happy life. A healthy one is up to you.

Sure feels that way when I'm at my worst -- thannkfully I've experience miraculous improvement as well. I try to focus on the latter :)

Anyone can make any disease sound horrific if they string together enough negative research. I am not saying it is not very very tough sometimes, and many people on the board have had massive health problems. But, many people go on and lead good long and happy lives too.

We sure do need more research, but I am unsure of the motivation of this particular author.

There is a broad spectrum across celiac disease. I would hate newbies to think they are not going to make it to tomorrow.

I would question where they are getting these healing " statistics"? Many Celiacs have had repeat biopsies after 2 years and been found to be healed. Some don't bother to do that because they feel good and their blood work is good.

This link is to a site that wants to sell things, not a medical research site, so I take that into account. Not sure of the credentials of those two guys pictured, either.

My dear mother lived until 87 years old with diagnosed celiac disease.

My suggestion is to be compliant and enjoy life to it's fullest.

This blog talks about a study of people who experience symptoms while on a gluten free diet. Open Original Shared Link

You aren't alone there. I had that problem as well, and I have gotten rid of the symptoms by switching to a diet of mainly unprocessed foods, and by checking everything I eat with elimination/challenge diets. I put myself in the super sensitive celiac category.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
