Hi everyone. newbie here again.

I've been enjoying reading all your messages.

Some questions.. if you had to put together a top 5 list of things you would recommend to a newbie, what would they be... food, or supplements..

here is my top 1

1. L-glutamine. This stuff, i used 2 take when into bodybuilding, and not only does it heal the intestinal track, it boosts the immune system.. i know from years of experience, it helps my digestive system.. and hundreds of research avail will support it

2. Omega-3's .. when i assumedi just had IBS, i took a product called "Omega+fit" by greenpluscanada.ca or .com or .org

it has normal epa and dha in it, plus GLA. A well known product for reducing inflammation.. exceptional supplement to take.

3. Book - healing the angry gut. This is an amazing read for those who want to truly understand the impact of food to the digestive system

4. Acidophilus.. i take it, never sure WHEN i need to replenish lost flora... i hope someone can add to this.

5. fibre ..

(and 6.. ..an answer to .. why do i get damn sick eating mcdonalds food and popcorn!!!)

:unsure: i dont get sick eating mcdonalds fries or hashbrowns--there is nothing else there i trust, but they dont bother me--cant help you there----i know nothing of glutamine, but just the name would keep me away from it--as a new celiac, i didnt take anything extra--i didnt even take vitamins until 1 year ago--i think my top 5 list for a newbie would be:

1. Dont put anything in your mouth until you have read the ingredients and if in doubt, dont eat it! :unsure:

2. Stick to unprocessed foods as much as possible--fresh meat, potatoes or rice, veggies and fruits---if terrible stomach problems--i didnt have trouble with dairy and i lived on cottage cheese and applesauce, peanut butter and quaker caramel corncakes! ;)

3. Check the ingredients on your shampoo, bath soap, lotions, and medications you are taking--dont stop taking your medication without doctor's imput, but do request gluten-free meds! B)

4. Get your family involved--have them read up on celiacs so they understand what you have to look out for and have them learn ingredients too! ;)

5. Dont panic if you get glutened, you may have a bad reaction, but get back on that horse--you havent failed, you just had an accident and have learned from it! :D

I wish I didnt have this disease, but if I have to have a disease I would want one that doesnt require medication to fix--I know many of us have other medical issues because of the celiacs and that cant be helped, but if we can catch this in our children before they have all these other problems ;) that would be wonderful!

Hope this is helpful for some of you!

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
