    Try to get your folate from food not folic acid. Folic Acid and Risk of Prostate Cancer: Results From a Randomized Clinical Trial ?Folic acid supplementation was associated with increased risk of prostate cancer. By contrast, baseline dietary folate was inversely associated with prostate cancer risk." Increasing Choline takes some of the load...

    Thanks for the update. Happy he is getting better.😀 "duodenal mucosa with intraepithelial lymphocytosis and villous blunting." and "The histologic findings in the duodenal biopsies show a malabsorptive pattern and are compatible with celiac sprue in the appropriate clinical context. Some villi remain normal, but others are quite shortened" I do...

    Not having an official diagnosis may save you pre-existing conditions that may increase the premiums. Lemonade from lemons. Most of your symptoms will resolve with GFD and the right vitamins. Modern wheat has been hybridized to keep growing as long as water and fertilizer are given. It also turns on fat storage mode. It is very addictive, but...

    Gastroparesis is the result of malnutrition. Low D, low Thiamine, low Choline and hyper vitamin E have been identified as a possible cause of gastropresis. Hyper vitamin E can be caused by low D. Celiac Disease can cause malabsorption and if left uncorrected can lead to malnutrition; something doctors are not equipted to treat. Most doctors don't...

    When my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2004 she laid down the law. If I got sick I had to move out. I usually got 3 or 4 colds a year. Started taking zinc glyconate (Cold-Eeze) at the first sign of throat itchiness and have not had a cold since. Thats 19 years cold free. Aches, pains, stomach upsets I use Original Alka Seltzer. aspirin...

    He, unfortunately, is misinformed. "Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity as well as an increased susceptibility to infection. As immune cells in autoimmune diseases are responsive to the ameliorative effects of vitamin D, the beneficial effects of supplementing vitamin D deficient individuals with autoimmune disease may extend...

    Consuming a recommended amount of beta glucans through dietary choices may not cause side effects, but taking a beta glucan supplement carries potential side effects and risks including: diarrhea, back and joint pain and skin rashes. You might want to find out what your vitamim D blood level is and increase it to our body's normal level 80 ng/ml or ...

    In addition, You need more iodine in your diet to improve muscle tone. You should focus on adding muscle for weight, not carbohydrates calories. Excess carbohydrates just gets stored as fat. "A benefit to carbohydrates is that when you consume carbohydrates you're going to bump up that insulin level. This decreases cortisol levels and gets you into...

    Absolutely.

    If you are not absorbing B12 through your GI tract it is a symptom that something is wrong. The shots and sublinqual are a good workaround for B12, but what is causing poor absorbtion? Some meds can do it. Low Thiamine, vitamin D and low stomach acid (PPIs?)

    If you all go gluten free, for your son's sake, then your ambiguous test will be moot.

    Batampt brand, like Bubbies is a naturally fermented Kosher Dill. While I think Bubbies has a bit of heat in the spices, Batampt does not. Good sources of Lactobacillus, beneficial bacteria for your gut and may help Lactose Intolerance.

    Eating SAD (standard ameican diet) has inherent dietary deficiencies. That is why most of the processed foods have fortification of essential nutrients. When you start eating gluten free, you no longer are being fortified. You have to get them from real food or supplemental vitamins and minerals. Here are two that are commonly insufficient that you...

    "In general, eicosanoids derived from n-6 PUFA are proinflammatory while eicosanoids derived from n-3 PUFA are anti-inflammatory. Dietary changes over the past few decades in the intake of n-6 and n-3 PUFA show striking increases in the (n-6) to (n-3) ratio (~15 : 1)" Health Implications of High Dietary Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Tomato, on...

    @MominWA If it is not imposing, I was wondering how your son is doing?

    Hi Steve76, You have been dealing with the stomach issue overtly for 12 years and I do not doubt when you heal you will realize symptoms you were told were normal part of growing up were caused by gluten. A major effect of Celiac Disease on our bodies is Celiac malabsorption syndrome and from the results you've posted, it has affected...

    Some members have said that they react to kissing.someone who has recently eaten gluten. Have you seen a doctor recently? Any medications? Do you have recent blood tests for vitamin D, homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate? Assuming the doctors don't know what is wrong, vitamin deficiencies are likely. Try taking lots of vitamin D, Thiamine and Choline...

    The short answer is Yes. To be diagnosed officially by biopsy you need Marsh 3 damage. You have Marsh 2. Also, you have been avoiding gluten for years. You need to be actively eating gluten for it to affect you. That's what makes diagnosing it so complicated. For a gluten tolerance challenge to be accurate you need to be...

    It was actually developed for patients who are diagnosed with Refractory Celiac. The idea I think is to remove all sources of contamination. Start worse case senario and it will get easier. Like 40 years in the desert. I think do it for a month, get a baseline and add your foods back as you tolerate. When my just weaned son was diagnosed (biopsy) in...

    Stick to the foods on this list for a while. Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet. Sorry but millet is first in the do not eat chart. Folic Acid, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E, potassium are best gotten from whole foods. They have been inked to increased cancer over placebo. Why take the chance? One example: Keeping...

    Hi Corali, welcome This is an older thread but it is interesting to read what was current thought then. Choline is an essential vitamin. It makes up mitochondrial membrane, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, is the major component of Bile, so deficiency can cause gallstones, gall bladder disease. Diffeciency of choline causes Non Alcoholic...

    Hi newtonfree. Welcome the the forum. "Good" story. Happy ending. There is lots of info on DH in posts, blogs and articles. I like to think of it as a lifelong challange to avoid being poisoned. Is smoking a disease or poison? Same kind of thing. Not smoking AND avoiding second hand smoke (cross contamination). In disclosure I still smoke a pack a day...

    I forgot to include 2 ounces of Cherry flavor magnesium citrate in 20 ounces of water. Tastes like lemonade. Thats 580 mg of magnesium. Last night at 9 pm my glucose was 180 mg/dl. Checked it just now, 6:30 pm. 124 mg/dl.
