Brain Fog & Nutrient Deficiencies - New Study


Scott Adams

Recommended Posts

Scott Adams Grand Master

I thought this was an interesting new study on nutrients and cognitive function, and is especially important for anyone recovering from celiac disease:

https://bmcnutr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40795-023-00802-0

The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Welcome to the forum, @ChrisDun! Has your husband been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Many newly diagnosed are short on the B Complex vitamins (especially Thiamine), Vitamin D and minerals like magnesium and iron.   Talk to the doctor and nutritionist about supplementing the eight essential B vitamins while healing.   I had episodes where I would "hit a walk" and had to stop and rest.  I was very deficient in Thiamine and the other B vitamin.  The B vitamins are water soluble, and so are easily excreted if not needed, but the difference supplementing them was enormous, especially with Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine which promotes intestinal healing.   Remember, gluten free processed foods are not fortified nor enriched with vitamins like gluten containing products.  The B vitamins need to be supplemented.  The gluten free diet can be short on them. Hope this helps!

      Please let us know how it turns out.

      Thank you for sharing your husband’s remarkable journey—it’s truly inspiring to hear how a holistic, root-cause approach has made such a profound difference in his health. It’s fascinating how his cardiologist connected dietary inflammation, gut health, and even historical factors like abdominal radiation to his A-fib, leading to a tailored plan that finally resolved his episodes. The emphasis on diet (especially sugar, gluten, and dairy), along with targeted supplements and careful monitoring, highlights how individualized care can outperform one-size-fits-all protocols. It’s also refreshing to hear about a doctor who prioritizes metabolic markers like HDL, triglycerides, and Vitamin D over rigid LDL targets, while acknowledging the risks of overmedication. Your husband’s story underscores the importance of persistence in seeking answers and the value of clinicians who look beyond symptoms to address underlying causes. Wishing him continued health and stability on this well-balanced path!

      My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease approx one year ago.  Even since changing his diet, he experiences bouts of fatigue, almost like a light switch - he’s fine one minute, then the next has to go lay down.  he was diagnosed in March 2024.  Then felt better almost immediately after changing to a gluten free diet.  Felt almost back to himself all summer.  But since November/December, he’s been feeling fatigue off and on, and it’s interfering with every day life.  has anyone else experienced this?

      That was a typo. It was supposed to be one. I still don't have my biopsy results from my endoscopy, but the findings according to my paperwork were grade B esophagitis and localized continuous erythema and friability of the mucosa in the antrum which is compatible with gastritis. She took lots of biopsies of my stomach, esophagus, and small intestine. Hoping to find out results this week!
