    I would suggest looking into vitamin k2 (not vitamin k1). There's a book called "vitamin k2 and the calcium paradox" which explains the relationship between calcium, vitamin k2, vitamin d, and vitamin a when it comes to bone formation and maintenance. There have been clinical studies done in japan using vitamin k2 to treat osteoporosis. Calcium alone isn...

    I used to have dry, cracked peeling lips constantly. I tried all kinds of moisturizers but nothing ever helped. And I always had huge chunks of skin peeling off my lips. In my case, the cause was simple although overlooked by everyone for years: mouth breathing. I habitually breathes through mouth rather than my nose, which dried out my lips. The dry...

    You got a lot of good advice, so I won't repeat any of it. One question, though. Do you have a lot of fat in your diet? I'm like you, and stay think pretty much no matter what. I'm also dairy free. When I'm breastfeeding, especially those first few months, I crave fatty things and I figured it was to supply fat to my milk. I would literally eat spoonfuls...

    Wow. I made it to the second page and read the ones about the stillborn and the miscarriage. And I had to stop. Terrible. It makes me sad.

    My cousin's son was diagnosed at 9 months. He was in rough shape at the time... Fast forward 4 years, and the doc tells his parents that he's all healed, and can get off this ridiculously restrictive gluten-free diet since he has now healed and, thus, grown out of it. Argh... So he's eating gluten again!! His mom should know better. Her grandfather...

    Agreed. There is no logic to that. Ttg IgA and aga IgA tests aren't specialized, but total IgA is? That's a BS line if I've ever heard one. Just how is one supposed to get referred to a GI if they have negative IgA results because they're IgA deficient but no one knows it? I'd push for the total IgA test.

    I think you should ask yourself this, and answer honestly: if you did not have a celiac diagnosis, would you go to the rehearsal dinner? (another approach to this question is: if the restaurant they chose was gluten-free friendly, would you go to the rehearsal dinner?) If the answer is yes, then you should go. Bring your own food, or eat before. The...

    Does he have an official diagnosis of DH? If so, then that means he also has a diagnosis of celiac. Is there something else that the doctor is looking for?

    I used to have what I called my days from hell where I'd have a terrible migraine, and I'd vomit almost continually all day long. It was not food poisoning, but it was always coupled with a migraine and a weird kind if diarrhea. The first few times I had that reaction, it was after I had had a beer or two the night before. Then it started happening more frequently...

    I thought there was a study done where they screened blood samples from army recruits from the 1950's (preserved samples) and recruits from modern times. There was a statistically significant difference in the percentage of positive antibody results, something like the percentage of positive results today being twice that from 50 years ago. This implies that...

    My understanding is that a diagnosis of DH is also a diagnosis of celiac. The dermatologist should be able to provide an official diagnosis. Or your son's ped. DH is the skin manifestation of celiac.

    Personally, I think most of the world's population has issues with dairy products (ie - breastmilk of cows that is not designed to be eaten by anything other than calves). I have read that mammals of all species tend to stop making lactase (or, at least, adequate amounts of it to digest milk) during childhood as adult mammals do not require breastmilk beyond...

    If you have your doctor's email address, just send him the link to this thread. ;-) Good luck on your quest for a formal diagnosis. And sadly, yes, many of us have had doctors that bad (and, in some cases, worse).

    There was an episode of a show called "mystery diagnosis" where a little boy had weider "seizures". No one knew what caused it. Til finally he was diagnosed celiac (the neuro stuff was partly due to malabsorption). I'm on my phone, so I can't post a link. But I'm pretty sure I found it on YouTube by searching for "mystery diagnosis celiac". The show even...

    I've been gluten-free for 4 years. And just the last few months, I glutened myself with soy sauce. Three times. Yep, three freakin' times, from the same bottle. I knew I had been glutened, but couldn't figure out what it was because everything in my house is gluten-free (or, so I thought). I was blaming it on the fish food (even though I carefully wash Mt...
