    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Dr Fasano created a list of foods to eat and avoid to eliminate all gluten. Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet (GCED), targeting the elimination of gluten cross-contamination Have you been monitoring vitamins and minerals? Gluten free products are not fortified. Gluten products are fortified because as a whole...

    Surprisingly Red Bull has no exotic ingredients and no High Fructose Corn Syrup which has to be processed first by the liver before it is available. It has sugar, glucose, Taurine (an essential antioxident amino acid), magnesium, B3, B5, B6, and B12. And about a cup of coffee worth of caffeine. All essential to the Krebs Cycle (the creation of ATP energy...

    Welcome to the forum Amanda04. So say we all! First I'll raise the specter of cross contamination. Are you living in a gluten free environment? Eating out? Personal care products? Processed gluten free foods (call them gluten facsime foods) sometimes have ingredients that many posters on this forum find irritating. While the endoscopy/biopsy...

    Mainstream medicine believes the only treatment for gallbladder is to remove it. But: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; The RDA for a 13 year old is 375 mg a day. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is 2000 mg a day. From 1...

    Hi Justsherry. Are you vegan or some other restrictive diet? There is not much vitamin B12 in a vegan diet. Celiac, IBS, Sjrogens and autoimmune gastritis are autoimmune diseases and they are all have low vitamin D in common. Vitamin D and the Immune System The only one in this bunch that has a definate cause is Celiac Disease. The...

    Before doing any surgery get your son started on gluten free diet with as Tents said lots of vitamins to replenish. Hypervitaminosis vitamin D is one of the rarist, but most often pointed out diseases. Personally, I've been taking 10,000 IU a day for 8 years and my blood level is steady at 80 ng/ml (equivalent to 200 nmol/L). Normal is 80 ng/ml and the safe...

    PattyWayne, sorry to hear about your gallbladder. I am not a health professional, but yes I think they would help. Double the D. If at 125 mcg you are still only 29 you need more. Or more unprotected sunlight. Choline supplements include choline bitartrate, phosphatidylcholine, and lecithin. RDA is about 500 mg a day, Tolerable Safe Upper Limit...

    Than for your answer. You make my case. I have been taking 250 mcg every day since 2015. At first I was cautious and started at 25 mcg, believing in the fear, increased each week. At 200 mcg, still no fireworks, but a few days at 250, my whole mood changed. A light turned on and I understood "Sunshine in a bottle". Sept 2018 it was 44.7 ng/m (112...

    What is your 25 hydroxy vitamin D blood level? It is the vitamin that modulates the immune system and we have systematically been told that 29 ng/ml (72.5 nmol/L) is enough. The normal level in an adult is 80 ng/ml. (200 nmol/L) and is set to maintain that level. But we are told to avoid sun for fear of skin cancer and not to take vitamin D supplements...
