    My doctor put me on Lisinopril to control high blood pressure. In less than a month I got a tickly cough in the back of my throat that nothing would help. The cough woke me from sleep every two hours and caused an inguinal hernia and sleep deprivation. Alka-Selzer works well for me for indigestion. Cold-Eze stops colds dead in their tracts. It's the antiviral...

    If it does not come in a box it is likely gluten free. The Gluten in todays' commercial wheat, Red Dwarf variants (80% of the world market), is very addictive. There are 200 other symptoms connected to eating gluten in addition to the malnutrition caused by villi atrophy. Cream of Rice is soothing to the tummy and one serving has 70% of the minimum daily...

    There is a scene in the movie Joan of Arc (I think) that depicts the Pope suffering a gout attack. Accurate. It is called a rich man's disease because was believed caused by rich, fatty foods. I adjusted my diet using Dr Fuhrman's as a guide. I was not GFD. I had 20 dog years good experience with Prednisone so given how well it worked with my dogs and the...

    It was after taking prednisone for the gout in my big toe in 2012 that I noticed the prednisone took away all my other debilitating fibromyalgia pain, but not the foot neuralgia. At the time there were three treatments available for gout, each took 10 days of medication. Two cost $200 dollars each and the prednisone was only twenty dollars for the 10 days...

    Choline, Iodine, K, Lithium, DHEA, Lutein, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, and Preformed Vitamin A may also be deficient by nature of your disease. These and any other nutrient deficiencies may cause, but will certainly exasperate, other symptoms. Most of them cannot really be measured, and are therefore ignored. Folic Acid may be related to endometriosis and...

    Thinking about this overnight I was reminded of the bad vaudeville joke; Doctor, whenever I raise my arm up it hurts. The doctor answered: Don't raise your arm. Perhaps you should talk to the doctor about delaying the gluten challenge until your ankle swelling has had a chance to improve. You have identified a direct cause and effect. Not eating gluten...

    I read somewhere that Celiac is a blessing in disguise because it makes you aware of subclinical dietary issues. choline (eggs), iodine (milk,nori), D, potassium (bananas), magnesium, lithium, selenium, lutein, preformed vitamin A, and zinc are some of the nutrients that had a significant positive impact on my health. Compare your dietary intake to...

    I suppose we should have listened when the scientists told us the world is flat. And how is it you know that you are not the religious nut. Science told us that eggs are bad for us (since retracted); fat makes us fat (also retracted); folic acid is the same as Folate, possibly kicking off an increase in prostate cancer. Science tells us there...

    Other than the tension of watching a Cat 5 standing still 100 miles away, ripping apart the Bahamas, before finally moving northward, I was unaffected. Memories of Hurricane Mathew. Now a depression looking to cross us. Thanks for your concern.

    Posterboy, thanks for those references. I am currently preoccupied with the approaching hurricane here on the east coast of Florida so I may not read it for a few days. While the quote is that alcohol doubles the rate of Celiac diagnosis, intending to put the blame for increasing diagnosis of Celiac on alcohol, I am inclined to believe that it...

    It seems only in the wheat eating cultures that you have stories of the town drunk.

    I am familiar with it. Oddly enough, before I became an alcoholic in the mid eighties, I was a male orderly in 1972 at the Oakland Hospital (California) acute alcohol rehab ward. Vitamin shots were a regular part of the recovery protocol we used. Oakland was also one of the first hospitals to have AA meetings in the hospital as part of the...

    I find it thought provoking that eating gluten (code name wheat) is last on the list possible risk factors for Celiac Disease. This highlights the failure of the government effort to make us believe that fat is the culprit for obesity by pointing out that fat free milk and vitamin D drops are causal to Celiac Disease. What is the risk when drinking ...

    thanks

    It is my belief, based on my experience, that Alcohol Addiction is caused by eating Wheat. The professionals see an alcoholic with Pellagra and jump to the 'obvious conclusion' that alcohol addiction is the cause of the malnutrition; and alcoholism is incurable anyway so don't bother to look further? So, Primary Pellagra...

    In my experience, there seems to be two levels of Celiac Disease: Acute and Chronic. Chronic is when you have symptoms that are annoying; for example my whole life, until I went GFD at 63, I was a mouth breather. It is something there is no medical cure for, and no medical explanation for, but plenty of "treatments". Acute is when the symptoms...

    I, personally, have had a whole list of things that are not associated with celiac disease that magically disappeared or showed dramatic improvement when I stopped eating wheat and continues to improve as I improve my nutritional intake. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, so it makes sense that someone with Celiac could present with...

    "Treating your Vitamin deficiency lets you treat your co-morbidities." Posterboy, this is such a huge statement that we all should take to heart. Thanks. I would give odds that if she had been tested for it, Karen Carpenter, the singer who died of malnutrition blamed on her anorexia, supposedly a psychiatric disease, was a had Celiac. For that matter...

    The MTHFR issue is documented well concerning folic acid, but not folate. Hence, the increased risk of prostate cancer with folic acid but not folate.

    https://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/articles-1/2017/1/23/lithium-the-untold-story-of-the-magic-mineral-that-charges-cell-phones-and-preserves-memory I started using zinc, specifically Cold-Eze in 2004, when my wife was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and said if I got a cold I had to move out because of her chemo. Have not had a significant...

    A lot of good info here. https://www.makesauerkraut.com/fermented-pickles/ I use 1/2 to 3/4 cup of kosher salt per gallon of purified water, a handful of crushed garlic, a handful of bay leaves crumpled up, a bunch of dill, and Kirby cucumbers. A tablespoon or so of Crushed red pepper if you like a slight bit of heat. Remove the blossom end. Three days...

    And Pellagra is a result of vitamin B3 deficiency. Interestingly, when they started adding folic acid to foods it did lower the risk of neural tube defects like spinabifida to fetuses, but men taking folic acid (synthetic folate) have increased risk of prostate cancer while men taking folate do not. While regulations say that folic acid is identical...

    Apple Cider Vinegar. A daily dose of apple cider vinegar, which includes antibiotic and antiseptic properties, naturally alkalizes your system. ... A chemical-free astringent, apple cider vinegar can also be used topically to disinfect and sterilize.Oct 20, 2017 You are probably right, for years I have been substituting lemon juice for vinegar for years...

    4 1/2 years gluten free after 63 years of eating wheat. Slowly but surely am improving. The neuropathies seem the slowest to improve. My lactose intolerance went away when I started making my own fermented pickles, without vinegar. Vinegar kills the lactobacillus that supports lactose digestion. Most commercial pickles are made with vinegar so no pro or pre...

    Multiple vitamin deficiencies are one of the symptoms of of Celiac. If you have celiac disease you are vitamin and mineral deficient. Vitamin supplements may improve your symptoms Sounds like me 50 years ago. Although I was always told that there is nothing wrong with me, four years ago I bit the bullet and mourned the loss of my best friends...
