Iron Supplement?

"I submitted this recipe several years ago. Subsequently, with the aid of an iron supplement, I was able to go back to a normal diet."

This statement was taken from a recipe review off Allrecipes.com, from a gluten free pancake recipe. What is this person talking about? I know celiacs can prevent you from absorbing iron (that was my doc's first clue) but how would an iron supplement mean you could go off a gluten free diet? Possibly this person didn't have celiac's and only was gluten intolerant? I don't understand.

It is obvious that this person either does not have Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance or has a very ill informed doctor. Celiac Disease is gluten free for life.

Okay good that is what I thought, too. My mother in law read this and told me I needed iron and then I could eat "normally" again. I told her it was lifetime deal, but thought I should check regardless. Thanks. :)

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins.  Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content.   However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system.  I do hope you give the AIP diet a try.  I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment which is difficult, but it's really worth the effort for long-term health.

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      By jadeceoliacuk · Posted

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I feel like I need more support than that...

      Yes,  Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out.  None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP  132/67 for Oct 21 - 26.  Lowest was 100/59. High 157/62.
