Whats Going On Now


Hells Bells

Hells Bells Apprentice

I wonder if anyone has any idea whats going on, I have been getting pasty looking, fatigued and recently when I stand up quickly I get dizzy. I am cold all the time but fatigue is my biggest thing. I am gluten free apart from the odd accident. I thought cold was due to thyroid, but now not sure. My blood pressure seems lower than it usualy is 105/70 usualy I'm at about 130/75, I got so dizzy I thought I was going to faint.

So can anyone help this 42 paranoid celiac, convinced I must have cancer or leukaemia or something, thats why I don't want to go to my doc, they always say its all in my mind anyway.

Oh also having real trouble sleeping.

Thank you everyone

Have you been tested for anemia? I had all of your symptoms--and found out that my hemiglobin was at 8. Just 3 months before, it had been at 11.5.

I had all of the symptoms you describe.

Yes, I agree. Get your iron levels checked. It also sounds like your metabolism is too slow. I have the same problems you describe. Try taking extra virgin, cold pressed coconut oil and flaxseed oil regularly. I was surprized how the metabolism picks up and the cold feeling fades away. Try it, you'll be surprized.

I agree. I would have your Iron checked. I have been struggling with Anemia for about 8 years. I have had 4 children, all c-sections, and my level was 6 before my last one in 2005. I was put on Iron Pills, which irritate my stomach. I try to eat lots of greens and red meats when I feel tired or dizzy. It seems to help short term. I believe it is still best to know and check iron level. Good luck

I do, still, feel cold, dizzy, and tired frequently. I am not convinced that it is the Iron Deficiency. Mine is around 10.5 normally now. I think it has to be something else. I have had several expensive tests, exams, x-rays, MRI, c-scan of everything from my head to my bowels. Nothing has turned up, aside from the anemia, celiac, and IBS. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Thanks

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
