My BP is already about 110/70...doc always laughed & said "hey you are just running about a quart low" given the health effects if I had HIGH BP, I felt lucky having low, but also Hashimoto's, Raynaud's and possibly Addison's, it is a wonder I can get out of bed...SUDDENLY I am my own superhero!!!
I have noticed when I have these exposures to gluten & "gut attack" that follows, besides The repeated gut stabs & dermetitus herpetiformis, and head ache, I get bad joint pain where fingers & toes can cramp & lock...ever had repeated cramp in the arch of your foot?
Or fingers you cannot make a fist ?
Just like not only attacking the intestinal lining, the immunal system is also attacking the sonovial joints & brain fluids (BAD headache)
My biggest worry besides the diverticulosis is the strictures that form with celiac disease, and when the gut folds in on itself.((Intercession/interception?/scar tissue/adhesions))..scarey, painful, lifethreatening.
The entire gut forms 'ribs' that look like springs and the entire gut looks as if scalded in boiling water.
No gut bacteria....who knows ?
The immunal system attacks the intestinal lining, the intestinal flora (no fauna!!) should remain intact although have little if any cilia to attach to & survive.
So more careful & paranoid I be...
