ChargersFan, Thanks for your kind words. I have only tried to help others the same way I found help through supplementation and the grace of God. 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,... -
Zhesi, the dry mouth, night sweats and frequent urination might be a sign of undiagnosed diabetes. I developed these problems/issues/symptoms before I developed prediabetes. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice. Posterboy,

Seizures and celiac
Posterboy replied to Kristen Bennett's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
healthysquirrel, I am not sure why I had haven't contributed/commented to/on this thread before but I think it was because I needed to find some time to do the research again and when you reactivated the thread it came to the forefront. I prefer like Knitty Kitty to quote where I have found our read the research but I don't always have time to find... -
Low Ferritin
Posterboy replied to veryami1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
ChargersFan, This is in response to your PM message. I dont' think my PM account is working right now. No matter. I wouldn't say anything to you I couldn't/wouldn't say in the forum. I don't know specifically about your hair loss. ... though low iron can be a common issue in hair loss. Think "chunks of hair" though and not thinning... -
Open Letter Part 1 to Fellow GI Sufferers etc. Like IBS, UC, and other GI diseases like Infant Heartburn (GERD) that grows into (in time) to IBS, UC, Chron's and NCGS as a teenager or Celiac disease in time as an adult - Look beyond to the Parent disease
Posterboy commented on Posterboy's blog entry in Posterboy's Blog
DesperateladySaved, I have tried to encourage people to take another look at low or No stomach acid as a contributing factor in their GI problems. But I seem to have done a poor job educating others of this association because few people believe me. https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2106-is-ncgs-andor-celiac-disease-really-low-stomach-acid...- 2 comments

Moleface, Be your own best advocate! NO one else will or can be! as a good an advocate for yourself can as you can BE! I don't assume people wrong at the outset but what I do set out to do is to CONFIRM! they are right?

Ha An, I came across some research that might help you. Older research is sometimes disregarded but if it was done well can be helpful. This is from JAMA and the Arch(ives) of Dermatology. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/539454 If research is "good research" it is often repeated years later with just...

Too Moleface and your problem with Skeptical Doctor's. I cant' say this is typical (or don't want to say it) but it is a common horror story. I never can get what I want to say all in one post. Celiac' can be a great mimicker of other diseases so it is important they find the right cause diagnosis (whatever that is)? And why other diseases...

Low Ferritin
Posterboy replied to veryami1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
ChargersFan, Ferritin levels are not typically low in men. Have you thought about having your doctor's check your Stomach Acid levels. see this research about this topic entitled "Is achlorhydria a cause of iron deficiency anemia?" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25994564 Also see this thread where the IDA and Low Stomach Acid... -
Plumbago and Apprehensive Engineer, I have found a study that unites the theory between OSAS and Asthma. I found it last week but have not had a time to post it until now. entitled the "Pulmonary manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease". Hidden down in the "Other Respiratory" paragraph is the discussion about how GERD and OSAS...

Food allergies after fasano diet
Posterboy replied to BilliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
BilliB, I don't know if this is your problem or not but you might try leaving out the eggs for a week or two then retrying them in your diet. They are a go too food for most gluten-free sufferers and while rare an Egg Allergy is a real condition. Here is a mayo clinic article about Egg Allergies. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions... -
Plumbago, I quoted that selection because they too had similar conditions. They were serum normal but still benefited from supplementation of B-12 but I agree with you it is probably not the B-12 or your Homocysteine levels would be elevated too? The low normal hemoglobin might be a sign. Here is a study about "Anemia of Aging" that shows...
-
GFinDC, You might not be far wrong with the B-12 that and Iron possibly. Here is some research I came across that might help you. "A Case of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome Showing Rapid Improvement of Dysphagia and Esophageal Web after Two Weeks of Iron Therapy." https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/364820 An this research entitled "Dysphagia...

Plumbago, We are just trying to be helpful. Sometimes as you say a "Cigar is just a Cigar". How is your Iron? Your Hemoglobin seemed to be on the low normal side. Here is a study on Iron status and sleep quality. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480468/ I hope it is helpful. I don't think you have really...

Plumbago, I see your are into gardening and I just discovered a plant (quite by accident) with your user name that has medicinal benefits. ...incidentally sometimes known as the "doctor's bush". I wonder if their is any connection. Here is the research entitled "Anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of Plumbago zeylanica L." https://academic...

Plumbago, I don't remember did you ever say whether you are using PPIs? PPIs can be associated with Sleep Apnea. I will take another shot at it. . ... I have been doing some more research. Hopefully it will help you. . . or someone else who is following/reading this thread. B12 might help. See this research https://www...

Ennis_Tx, I was braking teeth in my 20's too!
