You can use the NIH Fact Sheets for professional to check. for example Google: "fact sheet vitamin D"

Almost every article you read about vitamin D emphasizes the danger of too much. Hypervitamosis D is actually quite rare. It seems to go back to an epidemic of infant deaths in the UK due to a manufacturing error in baby formula. They added a thousand times the safe upper limit of vitamin D. I think probably because they used milligrams instead of micrograms...

While it is true that one can't rule out another disease it is far more likely that you have malnutrion with symptoms that mimic the other disease. For example, gall bladder problems and Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease are often simply insufficent Choline intake. They have been recommending that we limit eggs, liver, and beef (the main source of choline...

When you eat gluten free you are not getting the vitamins that are required in non gluten free foods to be fortified. It's not that a gluten free diet is inherently deficient, but the Western Diet is and we continue to eat a Western Diet just without the gluten. There are several different vitamins that could be causing your peripheral neuropathy...

Miscarriage and coeliac disease
Wheatwacked replied to Painful5's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This study was in 2014 in Denmark. Sadly, it does not look like there was much follow up. Then there is the increased cancer risk of vitamin A and E supplements and folic acid. The effect of folic acid on the endometrium hasn't been studied as much as the prostate. "The reproductive systems of the male and female have some basic similarities and... -

Increasing your iodine intake may improve your healing. It has mine. The Silent Epidemic of Iodine Deficiency In the developed world, iodine deficiency has increased more than fourfold over the past 40 years. Nearly 74% of normal, “healthy” adults may no longer consume enough iodine. -

Dear Painful5, I am sorry for your loss. -
Diets that are very low in fat can raise your risk of amenorrhea. The choline will help in fat digestion. Low choline intake often are the cause of gall bladder problems. There is so much contradictory information it does get overwhelming. And to boot they always scare you with the fear of hypervitaminosis, rare compared to hypovitaminosis in our...

Vitamin D deficiency Daily oral dosing of vitamin D3 using 5000 TO 50,000 international units a day in long-term hospitalized patients: Insights from a seven year experience During this time, we have admitted over 4700 patients, the vast majority of whom agreed to supplementation with either 5000 or 10,000 IUs/day. Due to disease concerns, a few agreed...

Is it helping? The advantage of budesonide is that it doesn't seem to cause Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency when used long term but has low bioavailability and seems expensive. For short term prednisolone is more effective because it doesn't have to be processed through the liver first and is cheap. Pharmaceuticlal companies don't like cheap. I do. ...

High level of RBC folate is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality among hypertensive patients with elevated homocysteine while serum folate has no such effects.

Negative celiac bloods but persistent blistery rash
Wheatwacked replied to Rosie82's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Posted October 10, 2012 · Am I the only one who suffers the most at night. I can feel skin layers peeling off under my nail. My skin is burning and stinging and itching all at the same time. Night Time The Worst It is very likely that you have low to deficient vitamin D in your blood. Raising it will help your compromised immune system. The ... -
Hi Acacia. I'll try to follow your outline. My first questions are do you have results for a homocysteine test and what is your vitamin D level? Any medications? BP, cholesterol, diabetes, etc. You know it gets confusing and complicated so I'll say what I think will help and explain later why I think so. I've been struggling with many of your same...

Nutrient Deficiencies and Celiac Disease: Understanding the Connection
Wheatwacked commented on Scott Adams's article in Spring 2023 Issue
Better off with a turkey sandwich (on gluten-free bread of course). The usual tryptophan intake by US adults was 826 mg/d, several fold higher than the Estimated Average Requirement for adults of ∼280 mg/d for a 70-kg adult. Tryptophan Intake in the US Adult Population The issue with Tryptophan and Celica Disease is not insufficient intake of t...- 15 comments

Curious
Wheatwacked replied to Treza's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
There are many non classic symptoms that are caused by Celiac Disease and misdiagnosed as another disease. And many symptoms we are led to believe are normal part of aging. Part of the problem is the misguided belief that wheat is essential to health and god given. -
What benefits does he reap by his suffering, praying for another 70? Once off gluten he will quickly heal with a diet and supplementation of low intake vitamins. He will grow and probably be heathier of his classmates. There is an accurate blood test for D. Thiamine and choline the test is supplement and see what improves. Even continuing...

I fixed my lactose intolerance by eating salt fermented pickles. 99% of the pickles in the stores are quick pickled with vinegar. Gives that sour pickle taste but not the nutritional value. I made my own, Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] they are ready in a few days but now I buy either Batampte or Bubsies. The lactobacillus from the pickles...

2.5 year old son diagnosed with DH and celiacs . . . .
Wheatwacked replied to Carianne's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
My son bloated up right after weaning. Thankfully no DH. My mom said "you got what you gave" but we persisted and he was diagnosed with Celiac a month later after several biopsies and started on Nutramigen (hypoallergenic with complete nutrition. It was the only one with choline back in 1976). They make Nutramigen for Toddlers now. The same doctor... -

Please help, mass in the abdomen
Wheatwacked replied to Ruby89's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
High billirubin Higher than usual levels of bilirubin may indicate different types of liver or bile duct problems. Not getting enough choline (primary food source from liver, eggs, beef) causes liver and bile duct problems. 90% of westerners don't even get the minimum AI of choline 500 mg. Try supplementing with 1000 mg of choline or phosphatidyl choline...
