My 2.5 yr old daughter just had her bx, and I just have a feeling that she has celiac...results back on Tuesday. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions of a good book to learn about celiac...specifically for my mom who watches my daughter a few days a week. I spend time online, but my mom doesn't go online. I need something that explains the basics of celiac disease, the diet, and the importance of following the diet. She's already said to me..."she can have regular pizza once in a while, right?" She just doesn't understand, and I think it would sink in better if she could read a book about it. Thanks!

Celiac Disease, a Hidden Epedemic by Dr. Peter Green, is a good book. The Celiac Sprue Association will send out an information packet for free. I had one sent to my sister.

I have the book "Gluten free for Dummies" by Danna Korn. It is written for anyone who wants to learn about the gluten-free lifestyle, and explains things very simply. It would be very helpful for you and your mom.

I agree, Danna Korn explains things very simply and also with tasteful humor that makes it easy for anyone to understand. She also has some good simple recipes listed that your mom could make such as super easy peanut butter cookies etc.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @glucel, I agree with @trents.  You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin.   I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.  Cardiac conduction abnormalities and atrial arrhythmias associated with salicylate toxicity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3952006/ Another part of the problem is that those drugs, aspirin and warfarin, as well as others, can cause nutritional deficiencies.  Pharmaceuticals can affect the absorption and the excretion of essential vitamins, (especially the eight B vitamins) and minerals.   Potential Drug–Nutrient Interactions of 45 Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, and Associated Dietary Compounds with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin—A Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11013948/   Aspirin causes a higher rate of excretion of Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine deficiency can cause tachycardia, bradycardia, and other heart problems.  Other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, are affected, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient Thiamine and magnesium and other essential nutrients our health can deteriorate over time.  The clinical symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are subtle, can easily be contributed to other causes, and go undiagnosed because few doctors recognize Thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can boost absorption.   Our bodies cannot make vitamins and minerals.  We must get them from our diet.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts. You would be better off supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals than taking herbal remedies.  Turmeric is known to lower blood pressure.  If you already have low blood pressure, taking turmeric would lower it further. Curcumin/turmeric supplementation could improve blood pressure and endothelial function: A grade-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38220376/ I've taken Benfotiamine for ten years without any side effects, just better health.
