Yes, Yaya, it is possible to develop vitamin D toxicity with overdosing since it is a fat soluble vitamin but the dosage needed to get to that point is much larger than was thought years ago. Years ago, doctors were very cautious about D supplementation but more recently the medical community has relaxed their caution as it proved to be overdone. Individual... -

Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist. Your note made me confirm and he's right. I found this article called: Too much vitamin D may harm bones, not help - Harvard Health The study was released on Dec 1, 2019 · and appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA which found that, compared with people ... -
- Helen Vajk commented on Scott Adams's article in Kids and Celiac Disease2What Parents Need to Know About Raising a Child with Celiac Disease (+Video)
Reared a gluten-free kid who is now doing great in his 40s. Some stress in earlier childhood, but by mid-high school had it all figured out. I heard a comment back then that gave me hope. "By the time a celiac kid reaches college age, he or she has developed a hundred ways to say 'No, thank you' and make it stick." The celiac kids end up knowing that...- birthday

Oh, @Yaya! Five years??? How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months. High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency. I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks. I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient... -

GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION
@CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid. Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form. P5P is the active form. Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process. Taking the active form...- 1

Years ago, doctors were very cautious about D supplementation but more recently the medical community has relaxed their caution as it proved to be overdone. Individual practitioners are not always up to date on everything and sometimes are operating on dated information.

Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist. Your note made me confirm and he's right. I found this article called: Too much vitamin D may harm bones, not help - Harvard Health The study was released on Dec 1, 2019 · and appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA which found that, compared with people who took moderate amounts of vitamin D, adults who took large amounts daily not only didn't see additional gains in bone density, but in some cases ended up worse off. I especially must be careful because, like many Celiacs, I have low bone density. I have been taking Prolia shots for about 5 years. Also there is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity per my cardiologist. That's why he carefully monitors my #s and wants me to raise levels slowly. Take care.

Oh, @Yaya! Five years??? How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months. High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency. I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks. I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient. My brain craved them. I felt so much better afterwards. On maintenance dose now. Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95. Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine. -

@CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid. Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form. P5P is the active form. Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process. Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately. L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety. Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too. L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine supplements work better. Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment. Keep us posted on your results. -

You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
