Welcome @Mary Em, Vitamin D plays an essential role in producing serotonin and minimizing oxidative stress, both of which can affect the migraine brain. Low vitamin D levels may contribute to migraine. 42% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D, 60% of UK adults and up to 75% northern Canadians are deficient in vitamin D. Virtually all Celiac Disease...

strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy
Wheatwacked replied to HWB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Try whole milk yogurt. I eat Stoneyfield vanilla. Add fruit if you like. Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ... -
That was the work of Norman Borlaug down in Mexico. It was not Genectially Modified but through highly agressive work in pollenation techniques to x-breed in genes that are neurotoxins to insects and as long as it gets food and fertilizer it will keep growing and other attributes. It's first financial success was winning the contract to replace rice flour...

Help Me Read My Results!!
Wheatwacked replied to 6faith6's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi @6faith6, welcome to the forum. Was this the only test run? It is negative. Why was it run? Can you tell us about yourself and your symptoms? Country? I would guess you feel like crap and the doctors can't find anything wrong. -

Do I need a celiac diagnosis?
Wheatwacked replied to TabithaJ's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Do you have an official diagnosis of Celiac Disease? I understand that there are tax and financial benefits to a diagnosis of Celiac Disease in the UK. -
Hi @Nogluten4thisgirl Welcome to the forum. Consider that gluten eating people without Celiac Disease or NCGS also get constipation. Your constipation can be from not gluten sources.. If you only eat foods not sold in a box or bag you don't have to worry much about cross contamination.😃 I like this one: "having limited privacy when using th...

Do I need a celiac diagnosis?
Wheatwacked replied to TabithaJ's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You got to be in it to win it. If you are eating gluten free you will test negative. The tests look for damage and an immune response to gluten. I agree with you doctor. Unexplained infertility. Deficient Iodine. A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will show it. TSH and T4 will not show low iodine intake until you are very deficient. Bread... -
It's a misdiagnosis that happens more often than you would think. I'm sorry. It's your husband that you need to convince to start GFD for your health. Once over the hump, he will thank you. Kids under 6 don't really have much choice in what you feed them. Zinc Glyconate (Cold-Eeze). The zinc is antiviral and the lozenge coats the mucus...

Top Brands of Gluten-Free Cough Drops
Wheatwacked commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
It is Zinc Gluconate, 13.3 mg zinc per lozenge. Locally Publix and Walgreens have their own generoc brand and it costs almost half as much as Cold-eeze. Start as soon as symptoms and take every 2-4 hours until symptoms are gone.- 5 comments

Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

Nicotinic Acid. I get my vitamins from pipingrock.com. They are gluten free and inexpensive but high quality. -
What Brand vitamin D are you taking? What else is in it? Do I understand correctly that you take 1500 IU of vitamin D and you get comatose and headaches and if you don't you are oK? A diet consisting mainly of white flour, white sugar, and other highly processed carbohydrates can cause thiamin deficiency. At first, people have vague symptoms such...

The iodine content of New Zealand soils is low and therefore locally produced foods are also low in iodine. It is difficult for most people to obtain adequate iodine by eating foods that are natural sources of iodine, which is why commercially prepared bread must be fortified with iodine. Since you are not eating bread, you are more at risk than normal...

New Zealand has a history of iodine deficiency due to low levels of iodine in the soil and changes in food habits and industry practices

Given these symptoms I would suspect Thiamine deficient, and choline deficient. Subclinical Thiamine deficiency can cause gastrointestinal beriberi and low choline poor fat absorption. Slow healing can be caused by insufficient iodine. You refer to mg of vitamin D. What country are you in if you don't mind my asking? Mostly in the US it is...

D3,1.25mg (equivalent to 50,000IU), soft gelatin capsules. Each Vit. D3 soft gelatin capsule contains Colecalciferol Ph Eur Vitamin D3 1.25mg (equivalent to 50,000IU). A daily dose between 125 to 250 mcg seems to be better at raising your blood level.
-
That is about 41 mcg a day. I am taking 250 mcg a day = 10,000 IU. Have been since 2015, it is what I need to maintain 200 nmol/L (or 80 ng/ml) blood level.

How much vitamin D are you taking? What is your blood test 25(OH)D results?

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...

I'm not yet convinced
Wheatwacked replied to NatalieCO's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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...
