    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...

    Yeah, I actually was started on predisone for a bout of gout, but stayed on it because it worked for the other pain and I got be functioning.

    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. Serum and Red Blood Cell Folate With All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality All of the added "folate" is folic acid. In the US folic acid and folate are allowed to be...

    Acacia's problem is high B12 and high folate. While that does not rule out SIBO, something else is going on.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    I would suggest getting your vitamin D level checked. Vitamin D is essential for the immune system. Estimates of vitamin D deficiency in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland is estimated around 40%. Vitamin D deficiency is still prevalent in the United States, especially in non-Hispanic blacks, women, individuals aged 20–29 years, and during the season of w...

    Aha! It sucks to follow a diet, supposed to make you feel better, but it doesn't. Well done. The gov't has mandated certain foods, like wheat flour needs to be fortified with vitamins that otherwise the population would be deficient in. Gluten free processed foods are not fortified for the most part. Those vitamins need to be obtained from food...

    Kwashiorkor. protein deficiency. Around 1969 the Biafran Relief Society was convinced to buy the modern wheat; developed by Norman Borlaug (who recieved the Nobel Prize in 1970); instead of the rice flour they had been buying. Shortly afterwards we started seeing newspaper images of the famine in Biafra, now Nigeria. It was attributed to protein deficiency...

    Hi toothdoc, welcome to the forum.. You'll find lots of information here in the forum, the articles and the blogs. Absolutely! You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that some of those "just getting older" aches and pains are really gluten in disguise. Plus it is easier to say do as I do as opposed to DO AS I SAY. Gluten foods are...

    If your vitamin D plasma level is not high enough and you limit iodine to less than 125 mcg you are exposing yourself to hypothyroidism, low testosterone, estrogen, goiter, brain fog and slow healing. Iodine’s Role in Hormone Balance Considering the high conmumption of iodine in Japan, it is odd that they have very little DH. Makes me wonder. Antibiotics a...

    Hi Sarah Rose, Is your gout cured? I had that pain and then gout on top of it. Gout is maybe the worst pain in the world. Short couse of Prednisone treatment worked in hours to reduce the pain from the gout and pain was gone the next day. I had 10 days vacation from all pain. My younger brother also has been treated with prednisone short...
