Thyroid problems - maybe?
knitty kitty replied to JaneWhoLovesRain's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thought maybe this article might be helpful. It explains what all goes into making the thyroid function properly. http://hypothyroidmom.com/10-nutrient-deficiencies-every-thyroid-patient-should-have-checked/ Perhaps ensuring you get the proper nutrients may help your thyroid and your overall health. Sometimes supplementation is necessary, even... -
Overwhelmed and unable to accept

"the shocked \ disgusted reactions people display when the celiac secret comes out..." "Not to mention having to admit to celiac in front of people and watching \ hearing the sarcastic reactions for the hundredth time." http://www.wavlist.com/movies/085/agd-horror.wav "Embrace the Horror!"

Dermatitis herpetiformis or “chicken skin”?
knitty kitty replied to Breezy1's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Stay on a diet containing gluten until all your tests are done. Removing gluten will cause your body to stop making the antibodies against gluten. The antibodies you make are what is being measured in those blood tests. http://www.thepatientceliac.com/tag/histamine-and-celiac/ This page is very helpful. Be sure to read her connecting pages... -
Dermatitis herpetiformis or “chicken skin”?
knitty kitty replied to Breezy1's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
http://www.podiatrytoday.com/when-vitamin-and-nutritional-deficiencies-cause-skin-and-nail-changes I found this article very helpful. There are many skin, hair and nail changes that take place when your vitamin levels get low. Remember, Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Sometimes healing Celiacs need some help from... -

Whew, glad your gallbladder is fine! And glad you've switched meds and are feeling better. My low histamine diet seems very similar to your low vasoactive amines diet. https://www.mthfrsupport.com.au/dao-deficiency-and-histamine-the-unlikely-connection/ I thought this article about histamine intolerance was very interesting and helpful....

Ennis is right about removing suspected problem foods for a time then reintroducing them later and watching for any reactions. Severe, I hope this doesn't worry you further. I've been doing some research and it appears that Cymbalta MAY cause liver damage in SOME people. It might be worth mentioning to your doctor and getting your liver, gallbladder...

Severe, I guess I should have phrased my question better. Whenever I had a bad bout of depression or anxiety, I tested my glucose level at that time. Sometimes it was too high or too low. Either I didn't have enough glucose in my system so none was available for my brain cells (low blood sugar) or I didn't have enough insulin to get the glucose into the...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4778084/ "Of the solid oral formulations, ferrous sulfate was the most damaging to the upper GI tract followed by ferrous gluconate, ferrous succinate, and finally, ferrous carbonate tablets." "Kaye et al.12 also found an association between PPI use and iron deposition. It is unclear whether this finding...

I believe the Sulfites were doing damage. I've been prescribed drugs containing sulfites since then despite my telling the doctors about the sulfite sensitivity and had all the gastrointestinal symptoms return with a vengeance plus some. Sulfites cause more than only gastrointestinal problems with me. My brain doesn't work right, my skin breaks out in...

Sjogren's Test Q's
knitty kitty replied to BlackShoesBlackSocks's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4069716/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11495189 Yes, I agree taking vitamins is a must with systemic problems. My ophthalmologist said that during fetal development, the cells of the eyes arise out of the same type of cells that make up the digestive tract. Makes sense to give the best nutrition... -
Sjogren's Test Q's
knitty kitty replied to BlackShoesBlackSocks's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have had problems with my eyes, too. They started out as dry eye. My left eye is more affected. The pupil doesn't constrict and dilate properly any more and has left me legally blind. After being examined at the Helen Kellar Institute, what I learned is vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and vitamin B2 (riboflavin), omega 3's and iron deficiencies... -
Severe, I'm truly sad to hear of your problems. I had an awfully horrible really bad time taking antidepressants. I tried all those you mentioned plus some. I had the copious watery diarrhea all day and during the night, too. I lost my job because of my illness. I couldn't function, couldn't cope, was in a really horrible scary bad place mentally. ...

Night Sweats, Gluten Ataxia, and Autonomic neuropathy
knitty kitty replied to Ennis-TX's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Vitamin deficiencies of vitamins D, C, and B12 and Calcium deficiency can all cause night sweats. (Perhaps the methyl form of B12 is needed for those with that MthFr gene.) Also, consistently high blood sugar levels can cause night sweats. As a type two diabetic, I find if my blood sugar levels are too high or not below 120 two hours after eating... -
Poster boy, I found this article. I don't know if it's the source of the Patient Celiac's information, but it may have the information you're looking for. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3956379/ There's some evidence that vitamin D deficiency contributes to high blood pressure. https://www.vitamindcouncil.org/health-conditions...

Help! Still sick
knitty kitty replied to Jherm21's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Did your folate (B9) levels get tested? Folate deficiency can cause low white blood cells and anemia. Folate is needed to work with B 12 to make both red and white blood cells. Here's a couple of articles. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Anaemia-vitamin-B12-and-folate-deficiency/Pages/Introduction.aspx https://patient.info/doctor/macrocytosis... -

New Here And Pyoderma Gangrenosum
knitty kitty replied to Shejm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/fullarticle/423327 Found this article that suggests a link between PD and the Mthfr genes (which are also associated with Celiac Disease). Taking methyl forms of B9 (methylfolate) and B12 (methylcobalamine), and B6 (P5P), makes these vitamins more usable to people with the Mthfr genes. Celiac... -

Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. You may be deficient in the B complex vitamins and minerals. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11054793 Thiamine (B1) deficiency is associated with anorexia and Niacin (B3) with gastrointestinal problems like bloating. B12 deficiency can cause fatigue. Follow up care should...
