    Hi @Bindi Sorry to hear about your husband, It must be stessful. Have your doctors suggested any vitamins and minerals. One effect of the damage Celiac Disease has is malabsorption syndrome. There are about 26 vitamins and mineral that are absorbed in the small intestine and that is compromised in Celiac Disease, so long term you end up with...

    It takes time to heal. One aspect of Celiac Disease some doctors don't check for is malabsorption syndome leading to malnutrition. Non Gluten foods are not usually fortified. Vitamin D deficiency is common, 90% of the industialized population eat less than than the Adequite Intake of choline. Iodine is 50% intake compared to 1970 and is becoming...

    Just to point out Hashimoto is also an autoimmune disease like Celiac so you most likely have very low 25(OH)D vitamin D blood plasma. Low vitamin D plasma is is a compromised immune system and leaves you open to more autoimmune diseases in the future not to mention osteoporosis. Personally, although the experts deny that osteoporosis is autoimmune...

    Before GFD I took 30-60 milligrams of prednisone to function with my fibromyagia. After GFD the fibromyagia is gone. No gluten is good gluten. If you feel better by not eating gluten, and don't have a diagnostic of Celiac Disease, then you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. If you feel better without gluten, why go back to it? Consider...

    Hello @MCS, welcome to the forum. A two step process. First increase your lactobacillus by making your own fermented pickles. IThe pickles in the stores are mostly Quick Pick;ed with vinegar sour but no lactobacillus. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] After a few months you will have populated your gut with lactobacillus which makes...

    Canyon Bakery Heritage Style whole grain or white. I keep them in the freezer. Nuke two slices for one minute.

    I felt betrayed by the food I was eating, I was angry at Agrobusiness. Angry at myself because I blew off my son's doctor's recommendation in 1976 to go gluten free. I was angry at the nutritional misinformation. I actually became quite evangelistic about GFD. My family banned me from mentioning wheat in their presence. High dose 10,000 IU Vitamin...

    Even if Gliadin G is excluded from your diagnostic standards, you still have symptoms caused by eating gluten. Perhaps you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS is diagnosed by first eliminating Celiac Disease as the cause of your symptoms. A Negative diagnosis for Celiac Disease. Then showing symptom improvement while on a trial gluten...

    Have you looked into other symptoms that eating gluten can cause if you have Celiac Disease and continue to eat gluten? Many are way more dangerous and misdiagnosis can lead to unessary suffering by treating the symptoms of that disease instead of the cause Celiac. Diarrhea is not the only symptom. But taking out a Gall bladder because of Celiac Disease...

    Watch out for those shoes with wobbly bubblewrap soles and insoles to make them comfortable. They put a lot of stress on legs trying to compensate for the wobble. Gluten free foods are not required to fortify with the vitamins and minerals as non gluten free foods are. Make sure she is getting enough. Low Thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal beriberi...

    No problem not eating grains, but I would look for vitamin and mineral deficiencies given your history. Gluten Free Diet with adequate vitamins and minerals, you should be healthier than your friends.

    That sounds more like a withdrawal from gluten reaction. Gluten affects the opiod rececptors and like withdrawal from opidis it can take two week or so to withdraw. Over the years the opiod effect of gluten has been masking the pain. Take it easy, for the time being eat what makes your tummy happy. Barring gluten. That pretty much is your answer...

    If you have this reaction to a drug, whether it has gluten is moot. That drug is not for you. There are many other drugs that work as well. For example a 10 ounce bottle of Magnesium Citrate.

    While you remove gluten processed foods from your diet, there are vitamins and minerals added to those foods because the standard western diet has been deemed deficient by government agencies and so are required to be fortified. Gluten free processed food are no usually fortified. For every food you delete, make sure to find another source in you new diet...

    Welcome to the forum @SusanB123, I sympathize with your plight. First I will will state that he is not alone. Here is a post from another forum member: "I was diagnosed celiac January 2023, with no symptoms. I have been on the gluten free diet since, but since the 6th month of the diet to date, I have developed symptoms-stomach pains, bloating...

    I'm guessing it was Manic Depression. I was depressed for 30 years. It did not go away until I increased vitamin D3 to 10,000 IU (250 mcg) a day. Three days after going from 8000 IU to 10,000 IU a great dark cloud lifted. Unless you are deficient in Calcium intake from food, don't supplement with calcium. A high Parathyroid Hormone PTH blood...

    high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) can indicate a vitamin D deficiency. The "normal level" of 25(OH) D is 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). That is the level our body sets as it's normal limit when we don't limit sunshine. For some people like me it takes 10,000 IU a day to maintain that. Lack of enough sun and malabsorption of vitamin D orally.
  20. Wheatwacked
    She should be tested for 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level. Most newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease are disturbingly low. Malabsorption syndrome causes poor dietary absorption of vitamin D orally and super high sunscreens block skin production. Hypervitminosis D which nearly every article written warns of, is a very rare disease. Many these days drink...

    When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1976 as soon as he was weaned, his doctor insisted that we feed him only Nutramigen it was the only hyperallergenic with complete nutrition. Enfamil and Similac were not acceptable if we wanted him to get healthy. For one thing they had no choline back then. Given the lawsuits against them now, he was...

    Gastroparesis can be caused by deficiency of acetycholine (deficient choline intake). Gastroparesis can be caused by vitamin D deficiency vitamin B12 deficiency is linked to gastroparesis Thiamine B1 deficiency can cause autonomic nervous failure in the gastrointestinal system, which can lead to gastroparesis. Celiac Disease causes...

    Hello @CeeBee1807, Find out if your gastroscopy will include biopsies for Celiac Disease. Since the doctors haven't mentioned Celiac Disease to you, I have a feeling they will not. You'll get an answer like, you have irritation. We don't know what the cause is.

    I can usually only eat it as chopped liver, but the commercial ones all have wheat added. Wish I could, but it creeps me. Cod Liver Oil works.

    Witch Hazel is great for cleaning skin. I also use it to clean my ears.
