That's great to know @knitty kitty! Do you take any other supplements for your thyroid? -
Possible Symptoms of Celiac?
MiriamW replied to Seethefacts's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@Wheatwacked, have you heard of Metabolics Iodine 11? Apparently it can be used as follows: Apply 1-2 drops Iodine 11 to one wrist and rub both wrists together so it spreads over the skin to make a yellow stain. If this disappears within 6 hours, then repeat the next day. Keep on applying each day until the iodine patch remains for over 6 hours. Stop... -
Hi @Sally Walker, I hope that you are feeling better. A friend of mine started to itch recently from peanut butter. I also tend to itch after eating nuts and gluten-free products containing flour and starches.
-
@Rogol72no worries and good luck. If you come up with any new discoveries/useful information please do share them with us.. And yes it is frustrating that even so many healthy products are very often problematic like sardines or sauerkraut for histamine. Smoked foods are always best to be avoided even for people with healthy digestion.

@Rogol72and of course appropriate probiotics and DAO enzyme
-
PS @Rogol72I've spoken to my sister who is a nutritionist and she said histamine issues stem from various causes and therefore different remedies work for different people. Apart from quercetin, some people find vitamin C helpful, some Coenzyme Q10 or black seed oil. Viridian do a nice organic black seed oil.

Hi @Rogol72and thank you for your reply. I only eat Waitrose organic basmati rice from time to time (touch wood I seem to be ok with it). I try to avoid nightshades but still eat potatoes. From fruit I eat bananas, cooked apples and fresh pears. Everything else seems to be acidic for me. I eat lots of avocados, sardines and eggs (but when my histamine goes...

@Rogol72, I forgot to mention that I always have a bottle of 'gluten away' in the house. It's a gluten digestive enzyme by Just Thrive (US company) and I order it directly from them. I take it on very rare occasion when I eat out or in someone else's house, just in case I digest gluten without knowing. It's also helpful for low stomach acid or to take with...

Thank you @Rogol72I'm always excited to find a good educational source of health information. I will most definitely have a listen!
-
@trentsI believe it applies to everyone, adults as well as children. I know that many people with allergies can tolerate casein A2 dairy products but I guess it also depends on what you are sensitive to, if it is proteins in milk or lactose.
-
Thank you @knitty kittyit's a good article. Interesting what they mention in the conclusion: "Specific strategies for reducing exposure to bBCM7 and GD7 are two-fold. Bovine BCM7 is relatively easy to remove from the food-system by producing cows that produce A2 rather than A1 beta-casein or alternatively placing more emphasis on milks from other species...

@Rogol72I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2014 so not very far behind you. You are right, it is a journey of constant learning and I'm so glad about writing on this website as I have learned far more from you guys in the last few days than from all the doctors and health specialists that I've seen (both NHS and private) over the years. Little did I...
-
Thank you @Rogol72for your reply, it's very helpful and much appreciated. Great to compare experiences with someone who seems to have similar problems. I've been in denial with dairy but it's becoming clear that I simply have to stop eating it. It's tough not being able to have a cup of tea or coffee, not to mention a bit of cake. I even struggle with most...
-
@Rogol72that is most helpful and really encouraging message. Thank you. Can I ask if you tolerate dairy? Is there anything else that you avoid eating? And yes, the supplements that you have listed are all great brands!
-
Thank you @Rogol72that's great to know! Also good to know about Warbuton's bread recommendation, I'll give it a try as normally I don't tolerate gluten-free bread.
-
Thank you Ana, that's really helpful. I keep forgetting to check ingredients in my hair care products. Very best wishes to you too!

I believe some breakfast cereals can be fortified with vitamin D.

Hi Cristiana, Thank you for all the info. Yes I live in the UK (England, Surrey :)) and unfortunately it is practically unheard of to get a 'full thyroid panel' test in this country, unless you go and pay private of course. The same goes for testing hormonal levels in women during perimenopause/menopause, whereas in other countries it's standard practice...
-
Thank you Ana. It's a good point and always helpful to remember that we might loose more hair following some illness, often not immediately but a few months later. That's great you are feeling much better now. Niacin and Thiamine are part of B-complex too and you are right about essential oils, especially rosemary is supposed to be very good. I sometimes...
-
Hi Cristiana, Thank you so much for your message. It is extremely upsetting and stressful to be loosing hair and if I come across any helpful remedy I will most definitely come back and share. But how disappointing that people with coeliac disease tend to experience this problem. Can I ask - did your GP do a full thyroid test or were you referred to...
-
Thank you! Yes it is a great article.
-
Thank you Wheatwacked for your detailed reply, it is much appreciated. The most frustrating thing is that my GP is completely uncooperative and the tests that you have mentioned, they would never agree to do here in England. The information you sent is most helpful and I will look into it. I'm 48 so hormones could be playing a major role in my situation but...
-
Thank you for your prompt reply! My GP only did the basic TSH test which was OK as 0.47 (within the recommended range of 0.35 - 4.94). My iron, B12 and vit D levels were all ok. My white blood cells were low (3.7) and bilirubin high (39). I don't take any medication, don't smoke and don't drink at all.

Hello everyone, I'm so pleased that I have come across this forum, what a fantastic place full of insightful information. I was wondering if anyone can advise regarding hair loss please? I am a coeliac and have been on a strict gluten-free diet for the past 8 years. I started loosing hair after going on gluten free diet however, I have periods when...
