"Children who received only a few courses had a modest increase in risk, while those who received many prescriptions during their first year of life had a much higher likelihood of developing immune markers associated with celiac disease." Evidence suggests that children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, or those with parents with lower educational...

Keep it up.

Click on the image to make it larger. Maybe doesn't work on phone browser, That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause. Not trying to. But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies...

I don't understand why you are continuing to persue a differencial diagnosis of celiac disease vs. NCGS. Once you stop eating gluten, those symtoms will go away. One less thing to worry about. You improve without gluten so you proved the point. Why beat yourself up? Without gluten you can focus on the symptoms that remain and maybe over time, with the...

Your choice. "Too much is too bad too" Yes I do think you might be iodine deficient. The intake of iodine has decreased in the US by 50% since 1970. Allowing for Celiac Disease malabsorption you are likely to be borderline on several nutrients. I tried eating kelp but lost interest after a few months in the taste and effort to prepare. Cut...

That is the goal, after all.

Blood results
Wheatwacked replied to Heatherisle's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine. Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years. Doctor recently said to not stop. My 25(OH)D is around 2... -
Here is a link to the spreadsheet I kept to track my nutrition intakes. Maybe it will give you ideas. It is not https so browsers may flag a security warning. There is nothing to send or receive. http://doodlesnotes.net/index3.html I tracked everything I ate, used the National Nutrition Database https://www.foodrisk.org/resources/display/...

Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks. Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference. Then after...

Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones. Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 1...

They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less...

M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

Have I got coeliac disease
Wheatwacked replied to Mark Conway's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US. vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection. Mental health and depression can also be affected by vitamin D deficiency. Perhaps low D is the reason that some suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases. In studies, low D is a factor in almost all of the... -
Have I got coeliac disease
Wheatwacked replied to Mark Conway's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This doctor is obviously under educated about Celiac Disease. Deficiencies that can cause oral thrush (Candidiasis) mouth ulcers: Thiamine B1 B12 Folate Zinc Vitamin C B2 B6 Iron Malabsorption Syndrome is often co-morbid with Celiac Disease causing multiple deficiencies of the essential vitamins... -
no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms...

trents: Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread. I take 600 mcg a day. Right in the middle of the safe range. Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the...

In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac
Wheatwacked replied to Ginger38's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
When I had my Shingles attack in 2019 my vitamin D was at 49 ng/ml. Doctor gave me an antiviral shot and 2 tubes of lidocaine. Sufficient intake of vitamin D and the antiviral essential mineral Zinc can help reduce risk of viral infections. I've been taking Zinc Glyconate lozenges since 2004 for airborne viruses. I have not had a cold since,... -
Celiac disease symptoms
Wheatwacked replied to Churro's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have... -
My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies. Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree. Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant. That may happen even with endoscopy. Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end...
