[Guest guest]

Marti,

Have an awesome trip in Hawaii. I will ask my doctor about Zegerid.

Great article-study, and one of the other links to the side of that shows where prolactin, from the pituitary, is a major promoter AND inhibitor of human hair growth-hair loss, etc.....in the whole cycle there. This is amazing to me and something I never had heard of before, live and learn. I think some of us here probably have learned more from all of this studying than our doctors will ever learn, lol. Holy cow, this is a very long link.

I'm sure there is more out there, but I ran across an article that linked T4 to hair growth cycles.

Here's a tinyurl that will get you to page 1 (only) of the article

(sorry the link got snipped):

http://tinyurl.com/3jfojl

There is a good summary on that page.

Basically, 25% of the folks with Barrett's have celiac - that % is

consistent with the % of the population that has the genes, thus it

seems if you have the celiac genes and Barrett's, you are extremely

likely to have celiac. And, this is consistent with the idea that if

you have any celiac symptoms (e.g., reflux) or autoimmune disease

(e.g., hashi's or graves)and the genes, the likelihood that you have

celiac or gluten intolerance is dramatically higher than the general

asymptomatic population.

Here's a good discussion of the negatives of the blood tests and

discussion of atypical symptoms (which they now believe are the most

prevalent undiagnosed cases):

http://consensus.nih.gov/2004/2004CeliacDisease118html.htm

This is actually a landmark consensus statement since it is from the

NIH, who typically follow the conservative, allopathic party line in

terms of positions. And, again, unless doctors are very, very aware

and keep up-to-date on celiac, they will miss it 90+ % of the time.

The reason I believe they miss it for so many folks with thyroid

disease is that our immune systems are compromised by the thyroid

disease, thus we're often not producing antibodies - i.e., it's

very, very common for us to measure closer to the upper end of

a " normal " range than over the range. I'm a good example of that and

unless the docs are measuring Total IgA and Total IgG, any antibody

tests will not be accurate and they really should consider higher

levels of antibodies to be significant.

And, both thyroid disease and reflux are considered primary related

diseases and symptoms. Per my other response, Barrett's puts folks

at a 25% risk and my understanding is that the risks are more

additive (i.e., it's not the max risk for a given disorder, it's a

combination of risks, thus a higher probability).

And, of course, one reason why this is so, so important for folks

taking meds for reflux is that your potential for osteoporosis is

also going to go up signficantly, since both undiagnosed celiac and

reflux meds increase the risks. There was research done on folks in

nursing homes that had osteoporosis and 60+ % of them were

undiagnosed celiacs.

Be well,
