Thanks Eastie,

I hope you are feeling better soon! :)

Eastie, I'm so sorry the antibiotic is hitting you so hard! I have no "body part replacements" nor screws unless you count the loose ones in my head.:lol::lol:

Having said that, I am also allergic to penicillin - I'll die even with an epi-pen - and allergic to sulfa drugs. I did rather recently take doxycycline and had no problems with it for several weeks. I was on an extended prescription of it though & after about a month, it started making me nauseous & then more so & more so & more so until I had to stop taking it because I couldn't stand being so nauseous 24 hours a day. Even probiotics did not help. However, you are asking about something for just 1 or 2 days for dental procedures so you might try doxycycline & see how it does for you. As a side note, as far as I know, all antibiotics can upset your stomach so it just comes down to individuals and their individual reactions.

Hi Squirmingitch (I know the feeling)  Thank you so much for your input on antibiotics.  Yes, you are correct.  It's a hit or miss on whether our stomach's are going to act up.  My adult daughter, who does not have celiac disease told me she was very ill when she took  Clindamycin.  She couldn't stop throwing up.  I happen to have a prescription for Clindamycin but it was over a year old and was hesitant to take it.  You are right  I will only need it a few times a year when I go for dental cleanings.  The biggest challenge for us Celiacs, are our doctors who don't take the time to look up gluten-free drugs when they write the Rx's.  I have celiac for 70 years now. The only doctor who was knowledgeable and  saved my life was a doctor named Dr. Haas.  He was called the "banana doctor" because he was the only doctor here in the US that knew what celiac disease was.  It's amazing that I like banana.  I will send you the  link and you can read about him.  I only wish I had met him before he passed away.  He saved hundreds of babies lives.  My mother had a child before me who was not diagnosed properly and she passed away at 5 months old....from dehydration.  We are lucky today that so much more research is being done and that we have sites like this.  Hope you have a great weekend.  Thanks again. Eastie

The minute you said "banana doctor" it rang a bell with me. I recall having read about that. Yes, he saved many, many children's lives.

Ah, ha! So you have had dermatitis herpetiformis also? Since you said you know the feeling........

BTW, that is why I was on the doxycycline for so long. Here, you can read the thread which will explain:

Thanks Eastie,

I think I'd heard or read about the banana doctor at some point.  I didn't realize he was linked to the SCD diet though.

I went gluten-free in Dec 2007.  When I first had celiac disease I am not sure though.  My parents said I refused to eat my oatmeal as an infant.  I don' t know if that is related.  I had some gut pain as a teen and was always skinny.  Somewhat bowed shins and back.  Could be related I suppose.  I didn't develop overt GI symptoms until I was in my 40's though.  I got as diagnosed as I ever expect to be in 2007.  I had gone gluten-free before I could get a doctor appointment and wasn't willing to go back on gluten for testing.  But Dr Alexio Fassano told me it sounded like celiac disease to him.  That was good enough for me.  I do have one of the genes for celiac but don't remember which it is.

I sure did change my diet though.  My garbage pile decreased significantly due to the reduced packing materials from not eating processed foods as much.  So I improved my diet a lot.  I try to eat mostly whole foods now.

Tonight I made sugar-free peanut butter fudge.  First time making fudge in decades.  It wasn't too bad!

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      Ortiz-Sánchez JP, Cabrera-Chávez F, de la Barca AM. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients. Nutrients. 2013 Oct 21;5(10):4174-83. doi: 10.3390/nu5104174. PMID: 24152750; PMCID: PMC3820067. AND SEE: Oats Intolerance in Celiac Disease. PLoS Med. 2004 Oct;1(1):e23. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.0010023. Epub 2004 Oct 19. PMCID: PMC523841. AND ALSO SEE: Bascuñán KA, Orosteguí C, Rodríguez JM, Roncoroni L, Doneda L, Elli L, Araya M. Heavy Metal and Rice in Gluten-Free Diets: Are They a Risk? Nutrients. 2023 Jun 30;15(13):2975. doi: 10.3390/nu15132975. PMID: 37447301; PMCID: PMC10346754. Celiac disease is one of the most common autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases; over the last decades, its prevalence indicates a mean annual increase in frequency currently calculated at 7.5% per year [23]. celiac disease is triggered by gluten present in the diet and the disease involves autoimmune and inflammatory damage to the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. To develop celiac disease a person must inherit the genetic predisposition; however, about one third of the population carries the risk genes and only ~1% of the population develops the disease, indicating that genetics is not sufficient to explain the condition. The environment participates by providing the triggering factor, i.e., gluten, and the disease is activated by environmental factors which, until now, have not been fully understood, among which changes in eating habits and the intestinal microbiota are considered to be significant factors [24,25]; yet, current knowledge is insufficient to explain the mechanisms involved. Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a GFD for life. AND ALSO SEE: Dr. Osborne: Although rice is considered gluten-free based on the definition set forth by the FDA, rice does contain a different form of gluten prolamin called orzenin. In my experience, those with known celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity issues do better when avoiding rice.

      @Bebygirl01, if you want to play word games with the term, "gluten", we can do that. The proteins you list in these other cereal grains besides wheat, barley and rye are somewhat different from that found in wheat, barley and rye and, technically speaking, are not "gluten". Technically speaking, "gluten" should only be applied to a particular protein found in wheat, barley and rye. These other cereal grain proteins have their own names (avenin, secalinin, zein, etc). Unfortunately, confusion has been created in popular and pseudo scientific literature by the informal use of the term "gluten" when talking about the proteins found in these other cereal grains such that you sometimes read about "corn gluten", "oat gluten", "rice gluten", etc. But these are actually misnomers, with "gluten" having been added on as an informal appendage to the actual protein names. Having said that, the protein structures of these other cereal grains is close enough to gluten that, for some people, they can cause a celiac type reaction. But this is not true for most celiacs and those who fall into the NCGS category. Apparently, it is true for you. This whole idea that cereal grains are bad for all of us has been popularized by books such as Dangerous Grains for years but it is not a widely accepted idea in the scientific community.

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/
