I did a page on magnesium after I read the material that caused me to write this:

Now, when I take my magnesium capsules, I take them with either vitamin C or Hydrochloric acid. (But I don't know if it's all right for people with celiac to take either Vitamin C or hydrochloric acid...)

Here's my page on magnesium:

and here's a page of mine on "pins and needles" that I just found (I forget what I have on my site... I have a bit of brain damage)

Those are great links... thanks!!

Yes, many people who have food sensitivities (i.e. gluten sensitivity) do experience malabsorption if they continue to eat the foods that they are sensitive to. That intestinal damage can sometimes be corrected very quickly and sometimes very slowly... The 'cascading symptoms' like anemia etc. can take a short period to get 'caught up' or a long time... it all depends on the person, the amount of damage, how strict they become with their diet, if they allocate all the foods that they are sensitive to... etc.

And yes, there can also be stomach acid issues that take time to correct (either too little or too much).

Some people may have sensitivities to either one... it's an individual thing more than a celiac or gluten sensitivity thing.

You've really hit the nail on the head for c.d. and g.s. many, many times in your post.

I really enjoyed the explanations at your site. It's all very well put and loads of information for people to mull over.

Awesome!!

Came back to edit: (Have you considered the possibility of having gluten sensitivity issues?)

Hi KimS,

Yes, for sure. FOR SURE! (re gluten sensitivity issues)

But no doctor has ever suggested it.

The thing was, when I went to eating brown rice and no more bread or potatoes, etc... I stopped having the diarrhea I'd had for YEARS and which the doctor had told me to just get used to because it was something you had to live with if you had B12 deficiency.


I have such a bad memory... (it's actually a bit scary to me)

but I think that I saw in Cara's file a picture of some skin eruptions that are or can be related to Celiac.

and they made me think of my son who is terrified of the skin problem he has that he has been thinking is exzema.

I'm going to write him with some of this information.


Thank you all so much!

And thank you for the kind words about my site.

(I've put huge work into it, and it all seems worth it when it's useful to people.)

I see that link above isn't working for the explanation of testing.


Here is another link to this group who has the article stored in their files for reading: http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/can...iles/Research/

I get numbb patches on my face and tingling in my hands as well. I had never connected them to a gluten sensitivity or CD though. It is indeed food for thought.
I wish I had known about this when I was much younger,,,,,. Then my life may have been much better health wise.
