Hi Everyone,

I was just hoping that some of you might either have, or know were get, good information on nutrient deficiency.

I think it may be what is stopping my progress with healing from Celiac Disease. I am desperate for some help.

One thing you can do to get some info is go on to a site that sells used text books, do a search for books on nutrition, write down the titles and authors and then go to someplace like Ebay or Amazon and look and see if they have one of them. I would not purchase from the textbook site as they will be very pricey there. If you have a college close by check their bookstores also. Texts will give you info on not only deficiency but also what foods are best for what nutrients.

I know how you feel. The first couple of months after I found out I had celiac I felt wonderful following the diet. Now 6 months in I'm exhausted. I'm taking several different vitamins as well as iron but I'm just dragging. I'm not hungry all the time anymore but I don't seem to be getting any nutritional benefits from the food I eat. I eat very few specialty gluten-free foods, only Chex and a Diamond brand gluten-free cracker, sticking mainly to fruits, veg, and meat. When my brother found out he had celiac, his doctor told him to avoid milk and milk products for 2 months to help his intestines heal and he did but still doesn't feel 100% either so I'm not sure if it's the healing that is not taking place, the diet that may be lacking certain nutrients, or perhaps other allergies that we aren't aware of yet. Good luck with you healing.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing? Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement? The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1. Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating. Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue...

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Gluten-Free Ramen: A Comforting Bowl of Japanese Tradition

      Definitely, I have ramen regularly as Costco sells an excellent brown rice & buckwheat gluten-free ramen (just the noodles--they also sell a GF chicken soup stock in jars that works well to make ramen).

      Testing

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out...

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.
