obesiac

went to dentist for cleaning and check ups every 6 months for over 30 yrs. One crown. Lots of fillings . The problem that I am having is gum recession. I dont have periodontal disease or gigivitis. I attribute the recession to celiac. I also have some transparency . I am in my 50's so enamal thinning is probably expected.

Yes , In my pre and early (self ) dianosis stages I would get severe joint pain randomly without cause. I remember deep hip pain so bad I could hardly walk. The pain felt like it was broad across the whole area , ache like, a good 8,9 on a scale of 1 to 10. I dont get the joint pain as bad as I used to . I am trying to get the right nutrients always. My...

Yes ! before self diagnosis I had full on magnesium defieceny symptoms. Palpitations, insomia, Increased heart rate, I couldnt eat. Found out about deficiency online. Took some magnesium and my heartrate went from 114 to 70 within a half an hour. Of course something like this is serious and needs to be looked into. Being celiac is complicated . Each...

I'm 50 + been gluten free 5 years. I havent figured out when my celiac started. I am sure it was in my twenties or earlier. All throughout life I have had bouts of depression. before 40 ish it would be about 3 days for about 4 times a year. Now it is mostly constant. I have even started taking a very small dose of anti depressant in hopes to stop taking...

Yes insanity ! Thats the life with this celiac. And dont eat vegetarian fake meat. They use gluten as a main ingredient. Who knew ? Speaking of brain fog, yep , still got it after 5 years gluten free.

I wrote this down a while ago - celiac deficiencies : Vitamin D, B 12, B9, A, E, K , Iron , zinc, and magnesium. While healing I made sure to get these but now I just take a multi about every other day . Occaisionally take magnesium. I eat about 80% vegetarian. Lots of raw for max enzymes and vitamin/mineral content. When needed I take valerian and chamomile...

Over the years I have tried oats and I think they make my vision blurry. That may sound odd to a non celiac but to you people just a normal conversation, right? So I'm never eating oats again.

Ravenwoodglass , you , and I have a lot in common. Im in my 50s too. Job security is an issue at our age. I had to quit my good paying job (nurse) in 2010 due to brain fog , fatigue, etc. two years ago I worked as a housekeeper 2 days a week . It was all I could handle. I did that for a year. Not working now due to selling house and moving plans. The bright...

Sounds like what I went through. To me nutrition was extremely important because of the malnutrition due to undiagnosed celiac. I used vitamins , lots of salads, fruit. It took years to get my strength back. I too had years of fatigue . Towards the end of that fatigue I started to take Lexapro, an antidepressant. Depression will give you fatigue. I take...

One good thing you got going is that you are 18 and know you need to avoid gluten. The bad - you have violent reactions. Can you tell us what you had for dinner that you talk about ? I am 53 and went undiagnosed for 40+ years . I did not have violent reactions but had dermatitis herpatiformis and other symptoms that were just annoying and not a cause for...

UPDATE - I am down 20 lbs since posting this thread. So that makes 50 lbs total. I don't remember the exact date when I was at my heaviest , most likely pre 2010. The weight loss is very slow but steady and I am no longer starving. I feel so much better that I have reduced my supplements ( vitamins). I don't feel 100% yet but I no longer feel desperate. A...

This is a very important post. I'm undiagnosed 40+ yrs and I'm 2 yrs strict gluten free and am still not feeling "normal" although improved alot. Had a lot of depression and still some fatigue. My most scariest problem is brain fog ( I believe brain damage ) . Yes some of it could be age , I am 50. Memory, difficulty learning new things, A couple of driving...

Get your kids tested. Undiagnosed celiac is torture . I lived it 40+ yrs. I also had episode of tachicardia with anxiety , insomnia, etc. Took magnesium and it helped. I have no help from doctors. Be good to yourself , take very good care of yourself . You are going to need your health and healing . Life is shorter for us.

I'm 40+ yrs undiagnosed and have experienced hearing problems along with bad brain fog. I'm strict gluten free about 2 yrs and have slowly been getting better. No hearing problems now.

Hello again. My tsh is 2.13. I've been strict gluten free since summer 2010. Starting to take ginko see if it helps brain fog. Looking into DHEA for the adrenal support. Will research biotin. Thanks everyone.
