has any idea who I am...and all seem so caring here, I'd like to let you all know, I've been diagnosed Celiac through the blood test, the gastro, who was in anyway to do a bile duct snip, didn't bother to do the exam I asked for...so I just tried the diet, only to find that when I was exposed, those old joint pains and swellings, and constipation returned ten fold!

A year later, I had my daughter tested, from 6 up she took Ballet classes, and had such an extended tummy, thin hair, nails...I asked the HMO Doc. for a blood test. Negative...she decided to try the Gluten Free Diet and found her intestinal system to work much better, and the bloating of her stomach to go down significantly.

So we both have been on a Gluten Free diet for years now. I was just reading about co-enzyme B vitimans..I've taken my B100's for years, gluten-free just by chance (for so long I'd see that on the bottle and wonder) I think I may switch myself and get my daughter, who I've recently been working with her to take B complex..she has anxiety problems and such that I thought it may help..from what I've read here, all of you have confirmed my concerns...Thank You...Wish I'd known how to use a live stream before, I'd been here years ago...been going it alone for so long. Thanks To All for All your Wonderful Information!!! Dawnw007

HI Dawn I am new to

I Thank each and everyone, So Much, for all the kind replys! This is the definition of what community truly can be!!! If all the world were so accepting and kind, it would be a better place, yet this sort of kindness starts in the the most surprising places, like here. I feel it is hard to find true community of any kind on line, here I see it every day! It is important to acknowledge the kindnesses we receive and give in life. They are a lot of what keeps us going day to day, knowing we have our sometimes few, yet every one makes a difference, True Communities in this fast changing society!

      In case you decide to go the route of a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood test or biopsy: Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Kosher salt is not usually iodized. Shortly after starting GFD in 2014, I realized I wasn't getting enough iodine.  Growing up in the 50's and 60's we ate bread that used iodine as a dough modifier so each slice had about 100 mcg of iodine.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg a day.  In the 70's they stopped using iodine as a conditioner in the US.  Then everyone got scared of milk.  The US intake of iodine dropped 50% since 1974.  Prescriptions of Thyroxine for hypothyroid disease doubled in the same period.  I tried using iodized salt and seaweed and took an expensive thyroid supplement but it wasn't enough.  In 2014 I had a sebaceous cyst (third eye blind).  The previous 6 cysts on my face had all drained and healed with no problem back in the 1990,s.  One on my check had sugically removed. They are genetic from my mom and my brother and son also get them in the same places.  This one I did not have surgery for because I wanted a bellweather to moniter healing.  It did not start healing until I started until 10 years when I started taking 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine a year ago Nov 2023. Lot's of comment about how it was offputting and maybe cancer, it was deep, down to the bone, but I can be obstenant.  Now it is scabbing over and healing normally.  Vision is returning to my right eye (glucoma), musle tone in my chest was the first sign of improvement.  For healing, iodine breaks down defective and aging cells to make room for new growth. I take Liquid Iodine drops from Pipingrock.com but there is also Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution. 50 mcg/drop a dropper full is 12 drops, 600 mcg.,  usually I put it in a can of Red Bull, My brother, son and his family also started taking it. https://www.pipingrock.com/iodine/liquid-iodine-2-fl-oz-59-ml-dropper-bottle-14690 390 drops for $8.  They ship internationally if you can't find it locally. It the US the Safe Tolerable Upper Limit is 1000 mcg a day.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg a day.  The Japanese traditional diet has 50% less breast cancer, nicer hair, skin and nails, and in the 80's the US educational system dropped down comared to the rest of the world while Japanese kids moved up to the top.  Low iodine affects brain fog. According to most education rankings, Japan generally has a higher education rating than the United States, with Japan often ranking within the top 10 globally while the US usually places slightly lower.  In the 1960s, the United States was near the top of the world for education, especially for young people.  About why iodine was removed from medicint: The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf? About why over 40% of us are vitamin D deficient: Mayo Proceedings,  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!
