    LOL, love the hidden veggie thought in the mashed potatos, how did you do it??

    You've just described me. I feel so much better if I can get the sunshine but I really struggle when I cannot.. 00We live in an area when we get alot of rain and clouds. I have tried the blue lights for people with light deprivation issues but it doesn't help. I have tanned and I do think it does help a little, and I recently heard of a palce here that has...

    Your post described a reaction, my thoughts would be the banana as far as the restricted breathing, etc after the banana. However, as far as the weakness.....you have lost quite a bit of weight in a very short amount of time and that in itself can cause weakness. You mentioned numbness and fatigue which leads me to wonder where your vit & mineral levels...

    My take here is that you have the blood work and that is all you need. You can have celiac and not have the typical digestive issues, however, that does not mean it's not doing your body harm. There are many here on this site who had very little digestive issues but what turned up after years on gluten was nerve damage. My thoughts are that it would be in...

    You have been thru an awful lot. Stay on gluten until you get your tests done for celiac, and no matter what the results, try going off gluten for a couple months. You will have your answer then as to whether it is gluten that's causing your problems. Celiac testing is not real reliable in the first place so don't consider it the end if tests come back negative...

    ARCHIVED Family

    AVR1962 replied to T.H.'s topic in Super Sensitive People

    For me, food allergies ran rampant in my family so we all are aware that this person can't have this or that which is nice in a way. However, of all the family I seemed to be doing the best and seemed to escape the allergies and then it hit me like a ton of bricks all at once and then was worse than everyone else, and that I think my whole family (including...

    Bea, what do you know about Alpha Lipoic Acid in connection to mercury in the body? I decided to buy a book about nutrients for neuropathy and one of the readers had the following review: Most nutrients he mentions will help most people with PN. But there is one to beware of. Alpha lipoic acid is actually a great antioxidant and has been shown to be helpful...

    ARCHIVED I'm Back!

    CONGRATULATIONS! Good for you for taking your own food and I am really glad to hear the hospital worked with you to make a good experience!!

    You have to be on gluten for your scope but not for a repeat blood test for anemia. It is not going to hurt to supplement before any more testing is done. I'm assuming she is trying to figure out whether supplementing will improve your health but what is important is finding the source of why you are deficient and sometimes docs want to thru pills and meds...
  12. AVR1962
    Sounds good. As far as the eating, that's alot but I know you were wanting to somehow put more veggies into your diet and I could benefit from the same.
  13. AVR1962
    Wonderful! How is the label reading going for you? Did you decide on a raw/whole foods diet? I hope your dizziness is due to going off glutens. Are you supplementing? Did you have any bloodwork to indicate vit and min levels?
  14. AVR1962
    Goodness! 7 years later and you still have to supplement like this? I was hoping this was temp until my body started absorbing nutrients. If that's the case, I wonder now if this is more due to the nerve damage done by the glutens rather than villa damage that creates the lack of absorbtion??

    Here is something that was posted by the adminastrator of this board in case you didn't see it: https://www.celiac.com/articles/22711/1/Conjugated-Linoleic-Acid-Protects-Against-Gliadin-induced-Depletion-of-Intestinal-Defenses/Page1.html

    The adminastrator of this board shared this link which goes inline with the article I was talking about ealier in this post: https://www.celiac.com/articles/22711/1/Conjugated-Linoleic-Acid-Protects-Against-Gliadin-induced-Depletion-of-Intestinal-Defenses/Page1.html

    A thought would be a continual post in this section titled something like "Weight Loss, Eating Healthy, Working Out" like there's the continual post of "what are you eating Tonight" under recipes/cooking. The initial post could include the guidelines- tips for healthier eating, daily work-outs, weekly weigh-in/progress to be on a certain day of each week...

    Very important that if you decide to supplement that you are linking your symptoms to the vits and minerals. The only reason I started all this was because in all of my initial bloodwork I had markings below normal everywhere. Unfortunately my doc said NOTHING which still amazes me to this day. (I no longer have that doc!) The only reason I found this out...

    I've heard this too. I have heard some people say that they took their child off glutens for 2 years and once the yeast was out of their system they were able to return to gluten without issues. Hum? Really? Maybe it does work for some people but I tend to think not. I have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren who do not eat gluten at all, not because they were...

    It is a good idea to have the thyroid checked and if that is not the problem look at supplements. Your body might not be getting all the nutrients it needs to feel better. Insomnia is a real good indicator that your body needs something more. Due to the hair issues, again do get the thyroid checked because hair loss in one symtom, you could benefit from BioSil...

    For me it is all the same. I will be dizzy for at least 3 weeks.
  22. AVR1962
    Are you sure you're ready for this one?? I am a 48 year old female who had symptoms for 2 years before being diagnosed. By the time I started supplementing I already had bone loss and was in very bad condition so I think that influences the vits and the amounts. Vit D- 5800 IU daily to help absorb calcium, to help dizziness, crawling senations on skin...

    I am afraid I might be reacting to something else. I had a chai latte today, same chai liquid I have used before without issues so I don't think it was anything in the chai. I can eat cheese, sour cream, ice cream, yogurt without reaction but am very careful with dairy milk and avoid products that are labels with lactose. Items with lactose in them will give...

    I'd love to lose about 10 lbs myself. What's your plan? Are you going to count calories, exercise or a combo?
  25. AVR1962
    I wish the tests were more accuate but they are not. Docs sound very sure but I think your gluten-free diet speaks for itself. Botton line in all of this is we have to do what is best for ourselves regardless and if you feel the gluten-free diet is making your health bettr then by all means stick with it. Next time you visit your doc and have questions or...
