Pseudo Gout of the knees vs celiac
knitty kitty replied to NickL's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was curious about your question, and researched a little. I'm not a doctor. This isn't medical advice. You may want to talk to your doctor. Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid. Lactic acid has precedence to be cleared by the body first. High levels of lactic acid are caused by thiamine deficiency. Here's the study that found lactic... -
Instead of melatonin as a sleep aid, you can take tryptophan, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and magnesium. You could also try passion flower extract, but not with tryptophan because it can make you euphoric. ? hope this helps

The itchy rash associated with Celiac Disease is Dermatitis Herpetiformus. It flares up when glutened. It also flares after consuming foods high in iodine, like tomato sauce. Hope this helps.

Did the doctor give you an antibiotic? I have Type Four Hypersensitivity to Sulfites. Antibiotics often contain Sulfites or sulfite preservatives. I have gotten gastrointestinal symptoms when I was given sulfur based drugs. You may want to discuss this possibility with your doctor. Hope this helps! -

Not less affected, just affected a different way, in the skin. Celiacs with DH can still have intestinal damage. Most damage occurs where we absorb vitamins in the small intestine. I dropped sixty pounds in a month and a half at one point and I had DH. I had reached a point where my intestines were so damaged/dysfunctional it could not absorb enough nutrients...

Thiamine deficiency can cause many of the symptoms you've described. Palpitations, headaches, POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), lightheadedness, muscle aches (especially tender or sore calves), acid reflux, elevated liver enzymes. Have your doctor test your thiamine level. Doctors don't usually think of thiamine deficiency unless...

Think of it as Celiac University. You'll be learning about the gluten free diet, how to function in social situations (so many are based on eating), and how to cope with the stress of it all (it's a big lifestyle change). This forum is a wonderful place to come for information and support! I've gotten so much out of it and I hope you will, too!

Sam, I get DH on my hands, too. (Also on elbows and knees.) I learned DH is pressure sensitive. I would go grocery shopping and have DH blisters on my palms from pushing the shopping cart by the time I got home. Holding knitting needles ? or a pencil would cause blisters on my fingers. Same reaction of skin under elastic! If you get a positive...

LUQ and abdominal pain
knitty kitty replied to Asiders's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Your pancreas and spleen are in the ULQ. Some Celiacs have problems with their pancreas. And the descending colon starts over there, too. I have had diverticulitis and that's where my pain started, ULQ. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause the intestinal tract to not work properly. Hope you feel better! -
Toddler recently diagnosed
knitty kitty replied to Penster's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I can't eat chicken either. Seems a part of the chicken meat molecules sort of resembles a segment of gluten molecules. "Sorta-resembles-gluten" molecules also occur in casein (dairy protein), corn (maize), yeast and some rice breeds. (Basmati rice is least likely to elicit a reaction.) Not everyone reacts to these. I can eat Duck and Cornish Game... -
Researchers Seek Data on Celiac Disease and COVID-19 Viral Pneumonia Risk
knitty kitty commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
Laura, 1. Research Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance. 2. Try the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (just meat and veg, like Steak and salad). 3. Eat your leafy greens like kale. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322585#non-dairy-sources-of-calcium 4. We're here for you on-line, like everybody else social isolating...- 2 comments

Milesmills, Newly diagnosed Celiacs are often deficient in vitamins and minerals. Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of follow up care for Celiacs. Here's an article that explains the importance of vitamins and minerals in our mental health. Thiamine deficiency can cause anxiety. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC30...

Ali Rae, Sorry you're feeling poorly. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need in order to function properly. Instead of searching for a pill to pop for instant relief, consider giving your body what it needs to help itself. Your body can improve its own health if given the right tools and supplies...

AuntieE, I suffer from DH. I have found that foods high in iodine will trigger my rash. Foods high in iodine such as eggs and fish and pork make my DH flare. My rash is also triggered by a sulfite hypersensitivity. Medications containing sulfites, as well as foods containing sulfites or sulfite preservatives will make the rash worsen. Sulfites...

Metal Or Shingle Roof?
knitty kitty replied to knitty kitty's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Cycling Lady, Thank you so much! These are very helpful guidelines and resources! I don't have a binder, but I do have a plastic bag full of instruction manuals, notes, and receipts. You've inspired me to get them in proper order. But I have to take a break first! I've been traumatized by a trip to the grocery store. Too few people are following... -
Metal Or Shingle Roof?
knitty kitty replied to knitty kitty's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks, CyclingLady! While waiting for a reply, I googled and found a site that said it was hard to replace just a section of metal roof because the metal sheets overlap. Pull up one and it disturbs the ones next to it. So that answered my question. I really like the metal roof. I like listening to the rain. It will be more pleasant to listen...
