Can You Develop Celiac Disease Later in Life? Adult-Onset Symptoms (+Video)
Wheatwacked commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
I soon as you feel symptoms of a virus start using Zinc gluconate lozenges (Cold Eeze). A clinical study found the Cold-EEZE Zinc Lozenge formula reduces the duration of the common cold by 42%, when taken at the first sign of a cold. It's been working for me since 2004. It coats your mucus membranes with antiviral zinc to protect your cells from the virus... -
@Celiac50, Other than finding foods that make your tummy happy, are you feeling well? No other symptoms? That's great progress! You don't mention vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency in the UK has been estimated to be as high as 60% of the population. Celiac Disease causes depleted oral vitamin D from malabsorption. Most people do not get...

I should point out that iodine is known to exasperate dermatitis herpetiformis blistering. It can take several months or even years of a strict gluten-free diet for the IgA-TG3 deposits to clear from the skin. After the skin completely heals, iodine may no longer trigger symptoms. "The circulating antibodies disappear and skin symptoms resolve as...

I get my supplements f from Pipingrock.com close to 10 years now. Good quality, prices, ship worldwide. My 25(OH)D is at 93 ng/ml after 10 years taking. In 2019 it had still only gotten to 47 ng/ml. Celiac Disease causes low D from malabsorption. High Potency Vitamin D3, 10,000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels 4.8 out of 5 stars, average rating...

Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom. You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom. Unless you get lots of sun. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies. A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac...

Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

That should answer your question about gluten. Plus a dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis is definative of celiac disease by itself. Now you need to decide if you need to to pursue a diagnosis. For your baby's health, I would assune both you and the baby have Celiac Disease. Eat gluten free and account for the fact that gluten free foods are not fortified...

Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml. 200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis. Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof. My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl. It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D. In 19...

With all the bloodwork, have they checked your vitamin D? What is it? Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so vitamin deficiencies are common. Doctors rarely mention this. B1 Gastrointestinal beriberi, a severe thiamine deficiency, is characterized by symptoms including anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea, and vomiting...

Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else. Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative. If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune). In any case it is important...

Has your doctor tested your vitamin D? Urine Iodine deficiency? Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a contributing factor for oral thrush, especial if you are vegan. Celiac Disease causes malabsorbtion leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Zinc supplementation reduces Candida infections I know that zinc is an antiviral and have been using zinc glycomate...

Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored. My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels. Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not...

Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc and B vitamins. One of the first successful treatments for Celiac Disease used banana as the main carbohdrate energy source. quick, easily digestible energy, easier on sensitive stomachs and offer more potassium, which can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.” ...

Elevated estrogen or fluctuations in estrogen can contribute to leaky gut and cause elevated anti-gliadin IgG in people with celiac disease who are on a gluten-free diet, High levels of progesterone have been shown to decrease gut permeability. Talk to your doctor about a vacation from the estrogen, from your decription it looks to be the culpret...

The very reason you take supplements is because you absorb poorly due to the villi inflammation. You need these vitamins to heal and get stronger. Could you give us a list of what you are taking and quantity? Iron supplements cause a lot of people discomfort. Better to get iron and folate from food. Heme iron sources rom animal products like red...

Undiagnosed Celiac Disease was your root cause. As you heal and adress nutritional deficiencies you'll see lifetime symptoms disapear, some you don't even realize you have. Until 1951 no one knew the cause. Around 1900 it was also called "Infantilism", you outgrew it or died. Dr Hass around 1920 was the first to come up with a treatment with close...

Blood results
Wheatwacked replied to Heatherisle's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean. Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac. It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free. Like not believing a pregnancy test. Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac... -
I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency. When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck. At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny...

Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower
Wheatwacked replied to Crossaint's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is not a weakness. It is a serious threat to your health. I once read an interview with a representitive of a large company. He proudly stated that his wheat based product is more addictive than potato chips. The other issue is cultural. Perhaps this book will help Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together. It is published here... -
As @trents stated the pancreas does not produce lactase enzyme. Most humans lose the ability to create enough lactase. Some say milk is only for babies. But, by eating brined fermented foods like dill pickles and sourkraut, the Lactobacillus from these foods set up colonies in your gut and excrete lactase so we can eat dairy. Most pickles sold in supermarkets...

Gluten-Free Newbie
Wheatwacked replied to Suze046's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello @Suze046 In the western world 40 to 60 percent are low or deficient in Vitamin D. Malabsorption from Celiac Disease, avoidance of UV from the sun and seasonal variations can result in low vitamin D. A simple 25(OH)D test will tell you your status. Low vitamin D affects immune system, bone health, mental health. I keep mine around 80 ng/ml ... -
Are you supplementing any vitamins? Recently added medications? the ones that helped me the most noticibly was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine, B6 speeds up gastric motility, gastric motility, which is the movement of food through the stomach, is primarily achieved...

Studies have shown that individuals with canker sores tend to have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood compared to those without the condition. This suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be a risk factor for developing canker sores. Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac Disease.
