Alchohol Key In Certain Instances?


GFDF

Recommended Posts

I would like to interject a possible alleviator of symptoms and growth of the diseases mentioned in my topic and get feedback on most current practices.

Now my body chemistry may be different, but my experience is that when I drink 2-3 servings of pure alcohol like potato vodka, rice wine or certain champagne that these alcohols somehow mitigate symptoms of auto immune, celiac, Epstein Barr, and Crohn's.. all possible issues I've been diagnosed with. Doctors so far indicate a mystery in regard to focusing in on a real diagnosis of me, but, the following cocktail seems to bring me back to a place where I feel some sort of normalcy.

-B 12- ingested daily

-Vitamin C-injested daily

-Algae/Salt baths- done weekly

-aloe juice- ingested daily

-alcohol-ingested daily - rice wine, potato vodka, or a certain type of champagne

Unfortunately, doctors do not know what is wrong with me, but with the above strict regimen, along with a strict diet of fruits, vegetables, brown rice, potatoes, extremely lean meats/fish with the intake of fat digesting enzymes, hardly any dairy (with the exception of goat products), hardly any eggs, and dismissing certain spices from my diet, I have experienced almost an 80% increase in wellness. This has of course effected my weight to a lean body, but has also gotten rid of heartburn, head spins, nausea, body aches, diarrhea or extremely hard stool, and the awful bout with brain fog.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I have also found huge improvement in health thru a restricted diet.

As for alcohol ~ I gave up caffeine and alcohol for several years as I got sicker and sicker, which did me no favors. I currently drink one cup of coffee in the morning and red wine in the evening - after giving up so many foods, I am thankful to have wine back ~ at least for now :)

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
