    I bet our tastes are not too far apart, at present I am enjoying a vitamin infused, room temperature, English beer.

    Stating a presenter practices " quackery " and is "not qualified " to comment is in fact disrespectful and challenging. I have not read many threads ,therefore I am not qualified to comment on weather you are rude to other posters.
  3. Tbolt47
    Of course you meant- IYHO. However in this thread alone you have disrespected and challenged the opinion( s) of others. Without the requisite " IMHO " preceding your opinion. I will respectfully submit, this is a passive aggressive way of challenging others to respond.

    Interesting, although the first study was performed with infants not sure of the relevance to adults. I am fairly certain infants and the elderly have vastly different immunological responses vs. the 18 to 45 year old crowd. I have read a number of studies that believe a significant % of IBS may be celiac. Thanks for the links

    An opinion, by definition need not be constructed as a passive aggressive persuasive argument, nor does it need to be based in fact.Unless, I am mistaken forum members are not offering" legal opinions" nor" medical opinions" they typically offer their unique life experience and occasionally a hyperlink to support their action or inaction. To your point...

    Most folks on this board will offer testimonials about vitamins and supplements they take how they have changed their lives and recommend other do the same. However, there is no actual science to prove ingesting vitamins( as a dietary supplement) has any benefits. They truly are the ultimate placebo. This is usually where the antidotal evidence is inserted...

    I tolerate real cultured cheese and Greek yogurt well, however milk and Ice cream are an issue. Additionally, soy was a bigger issue than lactose for myself.

    Coffee comes highly recommended for all. Open Original Shared Link I drink many cups daily ( black), with no problem.

    Organic Wines such as Frey and Orleans Hill Winery do not add sulfites to their wine. Both are reasonably priced. I drink occasionally, wine only, and it really has no intoxicating effect. Just like I have been " mildly" glutened . so, no point in drinking it.

    Ys, For me 11 months gluten free the GI symptoms cleared up first, followed by the neurological, clumsiness, unsteady like you were walking on a boat etc. Lastly the Brain fog, depression and anxiety. I experienced the fatigue throughout the process.

    Dreams, I have been Gluten free for 11 months, except for the inadvertent glutening as you described. My DX was confirmed with a endoscopy ,graded as Marsh- 3 , severe damage consistent with having Celiac for a significant time span. My last glutening was the end of August. I ordered off the " Gluten Free " menu and two days later a bit of GI disruption...

    Try drinking Gatorade , chronic " D " can create an electrolyte imbalance exacerbating depression, and/or lead to bouts of depression itself.

    Martini, I tested positive in the Celiac blood screen and subsequent biopsy . My eyes have felt gritty, itchy, bloodshot and swollen for the duration of the 9 months I have been gluten free. Although some time worse than others, when really bad I am extremely sensitive to sunlight. Follow up blood work at 3 and 6 months showed a negative result...

    The vast majority of published ( scientific ) studies show antidepressants alone are effective in relieving the symptoms of depression vs. doing nothing. When combined with " talk therapy ", they are tremendously effective. Of the top 10 most prescribed medications, I believe # 1 is an antidepressant and several others make the list. If they were not effective...

    Laura, I am not certain of the age most folks around here were diagnosed with Celiac. From the research I have done it appears late 40's and 50's is when the majority of cases are clinically diagnosed. Celiac seems to " smolder ' for years, even decades, as another seemingly unrelated malady. At what point did/does the constellation of symptoms become...

    I imagine the 6th ring of hell being, just that, sipping an ice cold beer and simultaneously savoring the goodness and then the panic sets in.

    Bumblingchemist, When time permits check this out:http://glutendude.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/celiac-disease-symptoms.webp A quick visual reference of symptoms associated with Celiac. If your feeling ambitious an outstanding very informative site:Open Original Shared Link The insomnia, for what ever reason a person has it, I found to be the...

    Moosemalibu, This site may be of interest to you :Open Original Shared Link The author is a woman who is an MD, diagnosed with Celiac, in addition she is an avid runner. Very informative and supremely easy to relate to. When I was initially diagnosed aprox. 9 mo. ago ,one of the most frustrating symptoms for me was insomnia.Even though some days...

    There are a number of Auto Immune diseases that share the same constellation of symptoms presented with Celiac( Histamine Intolerance also share's a similar profile of symptoms). Some of these are known to be triggered by exposure to certain chemicals. Not that you necessarily have to be exposed at work.
  21. Tbolt47
    Renegade, What type of work do you do ? Are you in an environment that may exposes you to chemicals or other toxins ?

    A factor that exacerbates depression in folks with Celiac, is one of the most frequent symptom is diarrhea. Chronic or acute it does play havoc with the body's electrolytes and can interfere with the absorption and efficacy of certain medications. Gatorade is said to help restore some of the depleted electrolytes. Inflammation of the small intestine can...

    I agree, and I think the Univ. of Chicago website is most informative site as well. Here is one I find a close second: Open Original Shared Link It is authored by a women who has Celiac and happens to be an MD ,some of her children were diagnosed as well.

    Marie, The serotonin produced in the small intestine does not cross the blood brain barrier. However,the serotonin in our brain requires tryptophan from our diet as part of this synthesis. Serotonin levels in our brain does effect mood among other things.

    Argybargy, One of the most profound things in life someone can accomplish is to change the way another individual thinks. Unfortunately , this can also be one of the most difficult things attempted. It may be beneficial to have your wife at your side when you are attending your next office visit with the MD who diagnosed you with Celiac. With most illness...
