    Yep.

    No control group, except as compared to general public. "85% and 82.7%, respectively, which is higher than what was reported in the general Jordanian population" It was more of an effort to point out that depression and Celiac go hand in hand. Sometimes 1+1 = 2. Vitamin D deficiency and associated factors in Jordan "The prevalence of low...

    JDG, Do you know your vitamin D blood test results? There is research that higher levels of vitamin D can protect the villi against the antibodies, perhaps explaining why, even though more than 40% worldwide have the genetic markers, only 1/2% of them are diagnosed with Marsh 3 damage. Observationally, vitually everyone diagnosed with villi damage have...

    A bolus boost of vitamin D, the largest you can get for him. Maybe some of those 50,000 IU shots from the doctor so it bypasses ingestion. He's at 29 ng/ml, according to "close to the low threshold on D". Homeostasis for D is 80 ng/ml. The range is 29 - 120 ng/ml. Raising it can only help him and according to this report may be the answer. With the...

    I often see the sprouted, whole grain, heritage grain and gluten free breads scattered haphazardly together. BRAT diet, to a Celiac diagnosis is like gasoline to put out a fire. Made sense until they discovered that Celiac is caused by gluten, which is in virtually all toast. No surprise it doesn't really work. It would be good for short term...

    Hi and welcome to the forum. "Eat the foods that love you back." - Dr Amen. Why the restrictive diet? Calories don't build muscle. You need choline, potassium and iodine. Carbs become either energy (if you have enough B vitamins) or gets stored as fat. I love finding new connections to vitamin D. "The role of vitamin D in allergic...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    "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,...

    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

    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...
