No need to apologize as I didn't take it that way. I think that there are many people who "pop" supplements because they are not considered to be dangerous, when in fact they be doing more harm than good.

The Merck Manual also states: Copper Deficiency "Copper deficiency is rare among healthy people. It occurs most commonly among infants who are premature, who are recovering from severe undernutrition, or who have persistent diarrhea. A severe disorder that impairs absorption of nutrients (such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, or...

I have been experimenting with zinc and magnesium, among other vitamins, and noticed that certain symptoms got worse when I was taking too much zinc. Turns out zinc supplementation effects copper absorbtion and I feel that I was making a copper deficiency even worse. I have been taking copper for a few days now and definitely feel that my body needed...

As much as mainstream medicine does nto believe in acid/alkaline imbalances, I am a firm believer that celiac can cause you to be out of balance...this is based on my own personal experience and observations. I drink water with lemon all day and feel that it really helps me with energy and mood. Lemon is acidic of course, but somehow is tuned alkaline...

I think there is definately a correlation and you may be at the least gluten intolerant. I think my fate could have been the same as your borther as I was very sick for a long time. A gluten free diet put me on the track to recovery and I recently started supplementing with Carnitine with great success. Ultimately the lack of vitamins and nutrients can...

I had many unrelated symptoms similar to yours and I have both Celiac and Candida problems. Eating gluten while being a Celiac (most dont know it yet) will create opportunities for many other ailments. I have been gluten-free for 18 months and was still feeling crappy in alot of ways until I addressed my candida problems as well. Removing gluten certainly...

I figured that might be the case for at least the women...elevated histamine is a reaction to allergies, autoimmune disease, etc and they prescribe histamine for women who are menopausal and lack sex drive. I feel that I react on a systematic basis which is why I feel I have had so many serious symptoms in addition to the typical digestive troubles...not...

What does an accidental glutening do to your sex drive? Other than the obvious symptoms of feeling sick and tired for 2-3 days, my sex drive is greatly increased. Just curious if anyone else noticed a correlation. I have done some reading and it seems that testosterone and histamine are often elevated during the autoimmune reaction when a celiac eats...

Thanks for your input as it is comforting to hear another story where this symptom was reversed with a gluten free diet. I have been gluten-free for 18 months, but dont think I did I good job for the 1st 6 months...so 12 months with much better care...maybe sometime over the next year I will be able to exercise without risking heat stroke...I would like...

I am glad to hear I am not the only person that has had this symptom...I am even happier to hear that it can get better. I used to play basketball for 4-6 hours in hot weather with no problems (teenage years, now 33) and now I cannot play for 15 minutes without feeling terribly sick. The majority of information out there is in reference to how horses...

Anyone have this symptom? There is very little information out there regarding this symptom (not just as it is associated with celiac), unless you are a horse (I'm serious). When exercising I do not sweat and get additional symptoms consistent with heat stroke, etc. I make sure to drink plenty of fluids and am sure it is not related to being dehydrated...

Thanks for the tip on the thyroid and tyrosine...I ordered a compete amino acid supplement that I believe contains tyrosine as well. I am hoping to wean myself off the vitamins/aminos as time passes as well, maybe just take a multi-vitamin like "normal" people.

I was diagnosed with Celiac about 18 months ago and started a gluten free diet soon after. Like many other stories I have read, I did not feel much better although my chronic constipation disappeared almost immediately. Energy levels were still very low and I wish I had sought further help (medical or holistic) to address malobsorbtion / vitamin deficiency...

I am a believer in the histamine connection when a celiac is glutened. I was misdiagnosed for 30 plus years (sick for about 10) and I am still struggling to find out who I really am in my "new" body. I was very sick for many years with too many symptoms to list, including depression, but I was motivated and driven to be successful (or maybe afraid to...
