@Cosmicveganchick, You stated you tested low for Vitamin B12 and iron. It's rare to have a deficiency in just one vitamin or mineral. In Celiac disease, the damage to the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed usually causes vitamin and mineral deficiencies across the board. There's eight essential B vitamins. They are codependent on...

Chilblains, Raynaud's Syndrome, Cold Hands & Feet
knitty kitty replied to Russ H's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I found this article... Raynaud's phenomenon and vitamin D https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22580932/ And... Chilblains in Turkey: a case-control study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3938353/ Many Celiacs are underweight and have Vitamin D deficiency. -
I found some articles you might find interesting.... https://www.hormonesmatter.com/fluoroquinolone-time-bomb-mitochondria-damage/ And... https://www.hormonesmatter.com/tag/fluoroquinolones-thiamine-deficiency/ Seems that Levoflaxin is a fluoroquinolone. Sorry about your mom. All those illnesses your mom has are linked to Vitamin...

Low libido without gluten
knitty kitty replied to Spherical Bird's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
@Spherical Bird, You said "...increase my tiredness, give me weird tingling sensations in the limbs and increase my migraines intensity..." and "...emotional, tense and tired all the time too." You've also mentioned sleep apnea and sleep paralysis and Candida infections. These are symptoms of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency. The World Health... -
@or27, Some other thoughts.... The hives might be a sign of high blood sugar levels in prediabetes. I'd get hives and rashes and contact dermatitis before I was diagnosed with Type Two. Niacinamide (the non-flushing form of Vitamin B3) is really good for skin problems. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome can cause hives. Mast cells can be...

Hello, @or27, and welcome to the forum! Your symptoms sound uncomfortable! Have you been checked for Ehlers-Danlos syndromes? Perhaps you may find some similar symptoms here.... https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ehlers-danlos-syndromes/ And.... https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/2017-eds-classification-non-experts/oral-mandibular-manifestations...

This article will help. It mentions the genetic variables you both have listed in your posts. "Genetic susceptibilty and celiac disease: what role do HLA haplotypes play?" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6502200/

Do Not take Ashwagandha if you are taking an SSRI. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's) prevent the breakdown of serotonin. Ashwagandha causes the production of serotonin. Too much serotonin leads to Serotonin Syndrome. It is a serious, unpleasant medical condition. Even taking too much Ashwagandha by itself can cause serotonin syndrome...

Celiac's No period Infertilty
knitty kitty replied to Ribbygirl6's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
@Ribbygirl6, I was severely deficient in Vitamin D, I was in the single digits. It surprised my doctor how low the level was. He prescribed D2, but that is synthetic and my body didn't like it. I started supplementing with D3 (the more bioavailable form). My body craved the D3 supplements. I ate them like m&m's for a few weeks. Really strange... -
Low libido without gluten
knitty kitty replied to Spherical Bird's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
@Spherical Bird, I agree with @Scott Adams. You should be taking a B Complex vitamin. Some of the symptoms you mentioned (shaky hands, Candida infection, sleep disturbances, tachycardia, overly emotional, and tired) are early symptoms of insufficiency of some B vitamins. Glutamic acid foods require thiamine (vitamin B1) to break down and turn... -

Yes, muscle weakness and also it's the nerve signalling from the brain. Thiamine is needed for nerves to transmit messages.

No, get the itchy rash biopsied. It may be Dermatitis Herpetiformis, a skin rash the occurs with Celiac Disease. Sores around the mouth can indicate deficiencies in several B vitamins. Get his B vitamins and his Vitamin D level checked, too. Hope this helps.

@Petal100, Have you been checked for Diabetes? Endometriosis and rosacea have been linked to diabetes. I have all three plus Celiac.

It's been my experience the only vitamins doctors check routinely are B12 and Vitamin D. Erythrocyte Transketolase test is a test that may be used to measure thiamine. WHO has a field test for thiamine insufficiency: can you rise from a squat? People suffering from thiamine deficiency cannot rise from a squat or have difficulty rising from...

@Eloise2022, Welcome to the forum! I've read that Vitamin C will binds with nickel and keep nickel from being absorbed in the digestive tract. Iron competes with nickel for absorption in the digestive tract. Has your ferretin level been checked? The AutoImmune Protocol Diet is a Paleo Diet that eliminates processed gluten free facsimile foods...

Some vitamins can be measured by checking a twenty-four hour urine collection for vitamin by products (like measuring exhaust fumes from cars too see how well they utilize gasoline, lol). These are expensive and rarely done. There are no tests at all for some B vitamins. 😿 The best way is to take a good B Complex with all eight B vitamins and look for im...

http://www.adaptogenresearch.com/calcium-citrate-malate.html It's available on Amazon.com. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Calcium-HealthProfessional/ The benefits of calcium outweigh the risks of low calcium. A doctor can monitor your calcium levels and bone density before you get blocked arteries.

@Crowe, Welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to post. I'm impressed your doctor put your symptoms together as Celiac Disease. She's a keeper! Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder where gluten triggers an immune response against gluten and erroneously attacks cells in the body (that's the autoimmune part). The villi in the...

@Diamonds, The modified maize starch sounds suspicious to me. Calcium should be taken with Vitamin D to help in bone formation, so that's not a problem. Taking extra Vitamin D from your Vitamin D supplements and calcium supplements should not be a problem. I take Calcium Citrate. It's easier on my digestive system. There are some calcium...

Can you list the ingredients?

Welcome to the forum! The symptoms you've mentioned seem to be consistent with a problem with oxalates. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency are connected to problems with oxalates. Thiamine and pyridoxine are involved in making enzymes that help break down and flush the oxalates out so they don't cause kidney...

Has your son been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Rectal prolapse has been associated with low Vitamin D resulting in weak pelvic floor muscles... Vitamin D is also integral to regulating and calming the immune system. Thiamine deficiency has been associated with constipation. Your doctor is really on his toes about the...

Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. The small intestine is damaged and Celiacs don't absorb enough vitamins and minerals. You have cut out gluten. Products made with wheat flour are required by law to be enriched with vitamins removed during processing. You are no longer getting those vitamins. You need to talk to...

Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Low levels of Vitamin D can cause menstrual irregularities.
