Welcome to the forum Tmiles17. There is really nothing to fear. Many societies had no metabolic disease until they adopted a gluten centric diet. American Indians didn't have an alcohol problem or rampant diabetes. Eskimos didn't have heart disease or diabetes until around 1950. Same with Australian Aboriginese and Japanese on their traditional diet...

Could this be Celiac?
Wheatwacked replied to Rhyanna C's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Trust your daughter. She is not faking. She is dealing with physical responses that everone tells her are not real. Very confusing. Tell the truth and be called a liar and faker. About the mood swings, get her vitamin D level checked. I was 63 before I discovered the reason I could not breath through my nose was not "just the way it is". Pancakes... -
Within normal limits for vitamin D, ie. greater than 29 ng/ml only means you are not at risk for Rickets or osteomalacea. Our bodies need more for the mental health and immune systems to function and for the health of our other bones and teeth and colon cancer. " Struggling with excessive sweat? Maybe you’re missing out on these vitamins One o...

Check your vitamin D blood level. Normal in summer is 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). I require 10000 iu a day to keep it there. Vitamin D at higher levels modulates the immune system. For energy heres my current list. Thiamine 500 mg B3 500 mg B5 500 mg B12 1,000 mcg (1 mg) Taurine 1000 mg essential antioxidant amino acid Choline...

Take a look at vitamin D levels. I venture to say those of you who are asymptomatic and testing negative have higher 25 Hydroxy vitamin D plasma levels. There are over 200 other symptoms linked that improve with gluten free diet. My son was diagnosed as soon as he was weened. I stayed in denial until I was 64. Going over my wifes illnesses from childhood...

A&W and Other Brands of Gluten-Free Root Beer
Wheatwacked commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
And welcome to the forum AprilHH. If he has been having digestive issues, might be a good idea to avoid HFCS while he heals for a while so this brand would be the healthier option. -
A&W and Other Brands of Gluten-Free Root Beer
Wheatwacked commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
"Abita Root Beer is made with a hot mix process using spring water, herbs, vanilla and yucca (which creates foam). Unlike most soft drink manufacturers, Abita sweetens its root beer with pure Louisiana cane sugar." Almost every brand of soft drinks manufactured in the US, including Original Recipe Coke, uses High Fructose Corn Syrup instead of real... -
Hopefully you have been on a gluten free diet, as per your GI's diagnosis of Celiac Disease. Untreated celiac disease is a major cause of malabsorption syndrome which will lead to various nutritional deficiencies. Once the thiamine is dealt with you will likely have symptoms of other essential nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamin D deficiency, B2, 3,...

Confusing blood tests results
Wheatwacked replied to Olfy75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It the US Folic Acid and Folate are interchangeable on the nutrition labels. Folate B9 has no Tolerable Safe Upper Limit. Folic Acid B9 is 1000 mg. I thought my prostate hypertrophy diagnosed when I was 21, got better because of the gluten free, but when I went gluten free I was also Folic Acid Free. In any case, I think that folic acid and gluten also... -
See how many of these other symptoms you can identify with. I had 19 symptoms that improved or disappeared on GFD. link below Did they check your vitamin D level? Most people with celiac disease have low D. If you get plenty of vitamin D from sunlight, food or supplements, your 25 hydroxy D plasma around 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L) it could be protecting...

Cold-Eeze (zinc glyconate) or generic has 13.3 mg. It coats the mouth with zinc so goes to work fast. If her vitamin D is mostly from multivitamin, get her blood tested. Raising it may help avoid future autoimmune complications. The tooth may be your first clue. Don't ignore it. "When the serum concentration of vitamin D is very low, the...

Gluten is very addictive, as you can see. Very common to have many other food intolerances, I think because of the change in gut environment. You should work on vitamin and mineral deficiencies, hand in glove with Celiac Disease. You actually finally have a Celiac Disease Diagnosis. Believe it or not. Vitamin D, B1, B3, B5, Taurine, Choline, Iodine...

Welcome to the forum LSad. Even on a gluten free diet low vitamin D will allow tooth decay. What is your daughter's vitamin D blood test? Enough zinc in her diet? At 14 her mouth still has a lot of growth and shifting to do. I had a lot of orthodontic work done as a kid to correct bite. In my forties I lost a molar to an old filling. Had...

When the time comes, here is a list of foods to eat and avoid. Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet Ask for vitamin D plasma test B12 and homocysteine tests as they will give you and your doctor an indication of some probable vitamin deficiencies. When you stop eating fortified foods you need to replace those nutrients...

Trace gluten contamination may play a role in mucosal and clinical recovery n a subgroup of diet-adherent non-responsive celiac disease patients ...yet some NRCD patients may simply be reacting to gluten cross-contamination. Here we describe the effects of a 3-6 month diet of whole, unprocessed foods, termed the Gluten Contamination Elimination D...

While finding Marsh 3 damage to the villi in an endoscopy is the Gold Standard of diagnosing Celiac Disease, not finding it doesn't mean not Celiac, it means they did not see damage.

Another possible symptom of low Vitamin D is excessive sweating. Certain gastrointestinal problems may make it difficult for your body to absorb fat soluble vitamins. Signs you are lacking Vitamin D

Confusing blood tests results
Wheatwacked replied to Olfy75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Doctors have been wrong before. Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET) The trial was ended prematurely after a mean of 4 years, partly because the supplements were unexpectedly found to have increased lung cancer risk by 28% and death from lung cancer by 46%; see the link below Yet these are still being used in multivitamins. And we are told... -
Ttg iga accuracy?
Wheatwacked replied to Sickofbeingsick2023's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
As far as I can see, you already know the answer, just want proof. Up to ~40% of 1st degree relatives of people with Celiac Disease have undiagnosed Celiac. Father counts as 1st degree. These will also help: They are all essential nutrients commonly deficient with Celiac Disease. These doses are well within safe intake limits. Each helped me... -
When will the Diarrhea stop??
Wheatwacked replied to DeeDee95's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Choline supplements will help your digestion. It is essential to fat digestion, is absorbed in the small intestine (Celiac Malabsorption Syndrome) Less than 10% of us eat even the minimum daily recommended amount. Best dietary source is liver, eggs, steak. Though we do make some indogenously, it is not sufficient. The RDA can be reached by 3 eggs a day... -
If there is a next time, maybe just say nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea. You'll see how the night passes and check in in the morning, but it is bad, likely not be in, so giving her a heads up. They don't care. A Celiac being glutened, to the non Celiac person, is like an alchoholic calling in after getting drunk.

Most of the tests for vitamins and minerals don't really reflect cellular status. For example, 98% of the potassium in our bodies is intracellular. "Potassium (K+) is the major intracellular cation, with 98% of the total pool being located in the cells at a concentration of 140-150 mmol/l, and only 2% in the extracellular fluid, where it ranges between...

That might be Choline deficiency. Major food source is liver, eggs, steak. It is the major salt in bile. Deficiency can cause poor digestion of fats. Yellow and green stinky diarrhea with floaters. Not enough Choline can cause Non Alchohol Fatty Liver, something well proven, yet essentially ignored in the US. For energy try increasing B vitamins. ...

Hi Chris233, welome to the forum. This is an older thread so you may not get many replies. It is not an illusion. Exposure to gluten puts stess on the immune system, lowering the already borderline vitamin D. An estimated 31% of adults in Australia have inadequate vitamin D status (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-OHD] level < 50 nmol/L), increasing...
