Has anyone found out what that little white pill is that the naturpath people give? I know we hashed this out before but I need the little white pill!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having terrible brain fog and I just am not remembering anything and I get mixed up in my words and thoughts. It's scary to be that this.

They took me off my thyroid meds as rare as it may seem my thyroid started to function some what again.I'm trying to take armour but I have to take my pulse to make sure its not above 85, now it seems my pulse is alway 85 or 86 so I can't take my thyroid med. Evening it's down but when I take the amour at night I'm ready to fly and then I get no sleep.

I know the mystery pill many don't believe in but I know it made my foggy brain function better.

I have never been this confused in my life....

I don't know anything about a "little white pill", but I know some things that might help you....

I find that drinking a red bull really helps with the brain fog, post glutening. It has a lot of B vitamins and taurine and it helps you focus.

Also orange juice and zinc tablets help. I've been known to chew spearmint and cinnamon gum when I need to focus (ie: before a test)

Are you talking about Homeopathics? There are a lot of different kinds of Homeopathic remedies, for many different things, They come in little white pills, tiny white pellet balls and liquid tinctures. You can usually find them at most Health Food Stores. Newton's Labs is one company that does the liquid tinctures. I use one for allergies from a company called Boiron.

Be patient with your system while it is tring to get used to the decrease in your thyroid med. Celiac can mess with our thyroid and you should take this improvement as a sign you are healing. You sound like you may also be getting some gluten or cross contamination from somewhere, check everything and most particularly any meds you may take. Is there anything you are working with that is new or different, even something as innocent looking as white glue can be a problem. I hope you feel better soon.

Mamaw, even though the 'little white pills' all look the same, the ingredients aren't the same. There are hundreds of different homeopathic remedies. It's impossible for us to know exactly which one you have tried before that worked for you.

For instance, I use one called Sepia, which works amazingly for a stomach ache after eating something wrong. But it certainly wouldn't help you right now. You need to find out specifically which remedy you're looking for. You may need to see a homeopath or naturopath to find out.

Thanks for all the support. I haven't changed anything except for the dam thyroid pill. I was doing wonderful for almost a year on the cytomel. I know I should be happy that I'm only a handful that the thyroid started working but for me its up & down. I feel like I'm on a ferris wheel. I'm tired , b%$@#y, sad, no patience and whatever other thing you can think of I'm experiencing it.

I was so discussed today that my pulse was a tad on the high side that I just took the amour and said the hell with it. About half hour later I became my high energy self and did a hundred things including making gluten-free graham crackers. This evening I'm still feeling okay. I guess now its just the thyroid. It sure can make one feel bad.

Also I have noticed that my fibromyglia has gained strength since going off the cytomel, as well as my rosacea. Headaches also have began once more .

I'm supposed to take armour in the am & pm but I can't take it twice a day or my pulse goes sky high and I don't want to end up in the ER again.

thanks to all

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
