Anyone ever had the 50,000 units per week D therapy? Can you offer any experiences...good and bad...or nothing to worry about?

Also...my hair is coming out like crazy....and I have been craving potatoes.....someone said B5, B6 deficiency...when they checked October 12th...she said they were fine....could that change between then and now?

I'm also deficient in Zinc....and A big time so I have started that therapy.

Let me know what your experiences are.....

How long have you been gluten free? I had extreme cravings for potatoes all my life until just after going gluten free and I stopped all nightshades. Sorry, I don't know about the D therapy.

Armetta, So sorry about the arm. I've been away. Gotta catch up.

Its great they're using Vit. D for treating bone issues! I've heard though you should take calcium and magnesium at the same time though. The vitamindcouncil.com has a lot of info.

      Black Pepper Reactions

      Very helpful. Oh yes, I am quite fastidious about not falling off the diet. It's just that the list of things I must add to the restrictions seems to grow.

      Chronic duodenitis and gastritis post diagnose

      By Barcino · Posted

      I know this post is old but was wondering if you ever resolved this. My son is in the same situation. Villi healed but gastritis / duodenitis remain and calprotectin elevated. Now testing for crohns which I am freaking out about.

      I did a little research and one kind of aphthous ulcer (aka, canker sore) is the Herpetiform canker sore. It is well-known that celiac disease can cause a skin rash known as herpetiformis dermatitis. I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. Celiac disease is also listed in this article as a cause for canker sores: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/canker-sore/symptoms-causes/syc-20370615 Are you observing a strict gluten free diet? You might also look into reducing iodine consumption as that is known to help with herpetiformis dermatitis. Perhaps it will help with your canker sores as well.

      Do you wear an M-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?
