    ARCHIVED Waste Of Time

    rumbles replied to Roda's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Had the same kind of issue a couple of years ago when I was in a critical medical situation (cancer). Since I couldn't make one doctor's office provide the results to another as quickly as needed, and didn't have the time or strength to go doctor-to-doctor to pick up and deliver test results, I found a way to bypass the problem. I wrote a letter to...

    Compromised is not synonymous with deficient. Generally, there are three types of immune system compromises: allergic disorders, autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency diseases. Because of their effect on the immune system, vitamin deficiencies, chronic stress and lack of adequate/restful sleep can lead to an immune system compromise. I'm not...

    Smart and well informed is exactly what we need to be! Since going gluten free, I almost never get sick anymore, - in four years I've gotten sick twice, and both times I was when I was trying to recover from accidental glutenings. (Before going gluten-free, I caught whatever went around, - usually two to three times a year.) Best of health, to...

    ARCHIVED PCOS And Celiac

    rumbles replied to Eliza13's topic in Doctors

    Interesting! - My doctor told me just the opposite, saying that there absolutely is a link between PCOS and celiac. (It took about five months from the point that I went gluten free, but I haven't had cyst problems since them, - I use to get them like clockwork, and sure don't miss them!) If you consider that one of the symptoms of celiac is infertility...

    ARCHIVED Hair Loss

    rumbles replied to The Mama's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hair loss is often caused by deficiencies (too little vitamin A, B-6, B-12, biotin, inositol, folic acid, magnesium, sulfer, zinc . . . too much vitamin A can also cause hair loss). Your daughter may be taking vitiamins, but is she absorbing them is the question. Like quite a few others that post on this forum, I can't absorb vitamin B-12 by swallowing...

    If baking soda and water calms your heartburn symptoms, you might have something called hypochlorhydria, - fancy word for low stomach acid, and yes, it creates heartburn, and other symptoms of GERD. The body makes less of most things as we age, and for about 60% of the population, stomach acid is no exception. When you drink the baking soda and water...

    I did say something, - I'm trying to remind everyone to remember rule number one. As Fiddle-Faddle points out, it's one thing to politely suggest, but it's quite another thing to come across as dismissive and disrespectful. I'm just trying to remind everyone that words can hurt, and to consider the that other person's experience might not be the same as yours...

    What gives? Board rule number one calls for respect for each board member. According to Wiki, the definition of respect is esteem for, or a sense of the worth or excellence of, a person . . . . I

    Peta, Please ask the doctors to test him for hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid); it has the same symptoms as GERD (including acid reflux), and can cause at least seven of the eight signs that you listed (I wasn't underweight and had those same seven symptoms growning up, plus a few others). rumbles.

    Mastiffmommy, My heart is breaking, as I can feel some of the pain that you must be going through in your words, and I wish you the best and happiest of outcomes, quickly! Please be strong, and realize that you are important, and that you will be stronger for all that happens. There will be happier days ahead, and I hope that they approach quickly...

    QuietMorning, You're in good company. I'd venture to say that a great many of us have family members that don't understand or believe that we have this, and certainly aren't prepared to even consider that they might also have it. Many of us have who have been in a similar position have learned that as long as we've given family members the information...

    I have had occasional reactions to McCormick's spices; because I'm extremely sensitive to cross contamination and blister so easily, I rarely use spices anymore.

    I don't react to latex, but blister from any type of adhesive (including hypo-allergenic paper tape). I just sent an email to Band-Aid, - I'll let you know if they respond.

    Hi ERR, You might want to see if one of the celiac support groups in your area is going to have a meeting in the near future, and if so, you might want to gently suggest that the two of you go together. Meeting others that are dealing with this and hear what they've been through could help. Some links are pasted below, - look in support, and also for...

    TrilliumHunter is right on the money. Most people that believe that they have acid reflux from too much stomach acid actually have it from too little stomach acid; both cause acid reflux. Pharmaceutical companies make a fortune on convincing people that they have too much acid. (Plop-plop, fizz-fizz, oh what a relief it is . . . that your money is now...

    Definitely call the doctor. B12 deficiency can cause some serious and long term issues. You're not a guinea pig, and you shouldn't have to jeopardize your health; if you're symptomatic again, they should be able to test your levels now and see if they've dropped again.

    I'm stuck being super sensitive, - I can't go near Amy's products, but normally don't react to Redbridge (unless I go overboard, or have it more than one or two days in a row; for me it's a cross contamination issue, no matter how many times they clean the common machines). It just so happens that for tonight, for the first time since Thanksgiving, I'm...

    Yesterday I only had a few apple slices, on an empty stomach. A few days ago it wasn't on an empty stomach, but I ate a lot of them. Hubby's gluten intolerant, but not anywhere near as reactive as I am, and has been eating the apple slices for weeks, - this could explain why he's had such a vapor problem lately. Last night was the first night in a...

    I found my culprit, - but I'm having a hard time accepting this one. I was feeling great today, had my bounce back and was ready to conquer the world. Then tonight, I had some packaged, sliced apples, - the same kind that I was eating earlier this week, and within minutes, I was back doubled over in pain, reacting all over again. Round two. I just am...

    Check with your doctor to make sure it isn't something serious. I use to have issues with my heart racing when laying down (usually late evening/night), until I found out that I have a problem with low stomach acid and started taking supplements for it.

    Num1habsfan, you're not alone, - I'm in the same boat. It's been soooo long since my last glutening, that I didn't recognize the symptoms and thought I had a sci-fi version of the flu, until the blisters showed up. It's pretty bad when you have a gluten free house, and can't trust the food in it.

    I would recommend starting with a low dose, - like the 250 mg. HCL/150 mg. pepsin, if possible, start with a one with each meal, and give your body time to adjust. When you start with too high of a dosage, your body lets you know with ~ how do I say this? ~ a sticky output. If your digestive tract has been trying to run without stomach acid, it...

    If this topic doesn't become a new subforum, this thread will eventually drop to page 2, 3, 4 . . ., and wont' be discovered until someone stumbles across it again someday and posts. When I replied to this, it was already at 7th place, - it was at the top yesterday. For those of us that are very sensitive, and for those that are wondering if they are...
