@BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet? This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits. By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off. After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial...

Symptoms after ingesting gluten
knitty kitty replied to Juliana82's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@Juliana82, Is the bleeding occurring when you throw up? Or with bowel movements? Constipation? Is it bright red or black and tarry? Anal fissures? Crohn's or Colitis? Alcohol consumption? Diabetes, Thiamine deficiency and anemia can cause false negatives. Most diabetics are deficient in Thiamine. Thiamine deficiency can also occur due... -
Weird Symptoms
knitty kitty replied to Vozzyv's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@Vozzyv, Certain nutritional deficiencies can cause tinnitus, ringing in the ears. Vitamins A and D, Thiamine B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Folate B9, Cobalamine B12, magnesium, zinc and Vitamin C can cause tinnitus individually if deficient. The malabsorption of Celiac Disease affects all the nutrients our bodies need. Many of these nutrients... -
@Milarynn, Welcome to the forum! Many undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease patients have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Be sure to have your Vitamin D level checked. Vitamin D helps prevent bone loss, including loss from the jaw and teeth. Magnesium and calcium are both important to bone health as well. Magnesium helps keep the...

@CeliacPsycho246, You might try cutting out dairy. Some of us react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as to gluten.

"Doses higher than the RDA are sometimes used to treat medical problems such as vitamin D deficiency, but these are given only under the care of a doctor for a specified time frame. Blood levels should be monitored while someone is taking high doses of vitamin D." Quoted from the Healthline article @Yaya linked above...

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2748796 If read carefully, this study @Yaya refers to was done on healthy people. "Meaning Among healthy adults, supplementation with higher doses of vitamin D did not result in improved bone health; further research would be needed to determine whether it is harmful."

GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

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...

@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...

Hello, I'd have been here sooner, but I got tangled up in yarn... Restless leg syndrome (RLS) I've had. It's often associated with iron deficiency and B12 deficiency, but can also show up with any deficiencies in Vitamin C, copper, Vitamin D, and Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and magnesium. B12, Thiamine, and Pyridoxine will also help with peripheral neuropathy...

@glucel, I agree with @trents. You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin. I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.

Hi, @Dawn R., I get gluten ataxia. It's very disconcerting. Are you still experiencing gluten ataxia symptoms eating a gluten free diet?

Raw Meat Craving
knitty kitty replied to Jordan Carlson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
@Jordan Carlson, Sorry to hear you're having a bumpy journey right now. I've been there. I thought I was never going to stop having rashes and dermatitis herpetiformis breakouts and hives, oh, my! I went on a low histamine Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP diet). It gave my digestive system time to heal. After I felt better, I could add things back... -

Raw Meat Craving
knitty kitty replied to Jordan Carlson's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
@Jordan Carlson, How are you doing now? Your post slipped by, but I had to let you know you weren't alone. I've had cravings for raw meat my whole life. It's due to being low or deficient B vitamins, specifically Thiamine. Meat is a great source of B vitamins. Cooking meat destroys some of the vitamins, so a craving for raw or rare meat shows...
