    Welcome to the forum.

    Most infant formulas do not have choline. Choline can cause liver and gall bladder problems. Choline is absorbed in the small intestine, so Celiac malabsorpsion would make low intake even worse. My son was diagnosed by biopsy back in 1976 as soon as he was weaned. Was fed Nutramagen only for about 6 months. Oxford Academic Advances in Nutrition: Choline...

    Yes to the 25-hydroxy vitamin D plasma test. Low vitamin D would help explain your mental health issues. Taking 250 mcg a day (10,000 IU) solved mine after 30 years. And low D puts you at risk for other autoimmune diseases. It is not a cure, but a preventive measure. Vitamin D and Depression: Where is all the Sunshine? Vitamin D and infectious...

    Hi Noitartst, you've got good questions. Firstly, and in my opinion a key question, who do you need to prove it to and why do you need to prove it? If you eat wheat, rye or barley and you get symptoms that interfere with your life, and when you don't eat gluten your symptoms improve, you have gluten sensitivity (GS) or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity...

    LCHF Is that LowCarbHighFiber? What is the cause of your low stomach acid? Vitamin B12 is only in animal sourced foods. The normal range for vitamin B12 (total) is between 200 – 1100 ng/L (nanograms per liter), 200 – 1100 pg/mL (picograms per milliliter), or 148 – 811 pmol/L (picomoles per liter). Even at large doses, vitamin B12 is generally consi...

    Here is a list of what to eat. Everyone is different about what not to eat. It is important is to replete and start to store the essential vitamins you are missing. Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet

    You don't mention how you were diagnosed but thank your doctor for being so on the ball. Three months to diagnosis is awesome. Especially with non traditional symptoms. Many take years. the use of bromine as a dough conditioner may have caused your hypothyroidism. Baker's Asthma "Baker’s asthma is a frequent occupational allergic disease caused mainly b...

    that is very common. Consider that they are addicted to it and can't understand why you are not joining them. Not much different than people offering an alcoholic "just one drink to celebrate with us, it won't hurt." Here is a good book hosted on Celiac.com. The damage done to your small intestine villi by Celiac Disease causes malabsorption. The longer...

    I agree. Lots of thiamine, vitamin A from food like carrots, red leaf lettuce, sweet potato, whole milk, cod liver oil;, vitamin C. Dr Pauling was taking 9,000 mg vitamin C a day until he died in his 90's. Taurine is considered a conditionally essential nutrient. Like choline we can make some but not enough so we have an effecient recycling. ...

    That is scary. I have poked myself in the eye in my sleep.

    I was on prednisone for gout pain. It took 30 mg a day. As a secondary effect it took away my fibromyagia that nothing else touched so was continued on it. Once I started gluten free my dose came down to 5 or 10 a day. Unfortunately the two years on prednisone controlling the pains caused by gluten shut down my adrenal cortex causing secondary adrenal insufficiency...

    Hey Bobby123, glad you are feeling better. Hard boiled eggs and an apple and cheese would be a great snack. My son eats a potato every morning on the drive to work. I make a salad of diced tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, pitted olives and mix it all in a cup of cottage cheese. The B vitamins are the primary for making energy....

    In 1976 my son was diagnosed Celiac Disease as soon as he was weaned. He was given Nutramagen formula. We were lucky to find a doctor who knew about Celiac disease and he only had 13 patients. I also drink a lot of milk. Most of the time 100% grass fed. It has less omega 6 and never irritates even right before bed. Was the alka seltzer original...

    In vitamin D, most governments and medical accept >29 ng/ml as normal because that is enough to prevent rickets and they maintain there is not enough evidence to raise the RDA. How did we survive if we don't have a homeostasis system that we evolved. In myself when I reached 80 ng/ml it stays there despite taking 10,000 IU a day. I even have stored enough...

    Since choline is a nutrient that we should get in our diet, the doctors will not even mention it as a possible treatment. The safe upper limit is 3500 mg. That's a lot of eggs and steak. Or 56 cups a day of cooked broccoli. Choline Fact Sheet for Health Professionals "Therefore, in choline deficiency, fat accumulates in the liver, which can result...

    Choline is needed for acetylcholine, nerve transmission in the brain and fat digestion. It, along with B12. folate and B6 can lower homocysteine, an independant indicator of inflammation. Only 10% of us eat enough choline. Choline is needed to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Low iodine intake can cause Hashimoto, brain fog, breast cancer, cretanism...

    I can sometimes eat apple skin but usually it will upset my stomach. When I was a kid it was my grandmothers job to peel apples so I would eat them. I have the same trouble with cucumbers. Love them and they love me back but not the peel. Potatoes also. Over this past year I lost 30 pound of belly fat. I am pretty certain it was the combination of...

    Hi JD welcome to the forum. Tough question. First congrats on staying gluten free. Any new soaps etc that might have gluten in them? Any medications? High vitamin D blood levels is protective. Low D is common because we are told to avoid sun. The short answer is vitamin deficiencies. On a gluten diet, wheat flour is fortified with minerals...

    The normal results are 0-3. -2 is out of range so was flagged. When my son was diagnosed as an infant when he was weaned, he was put on Nutramagen for six months. It was the only hypoallergenic formula with choline. That was in 1976. Swimming is a great sport for him. Mine was on swim teams from 5 till high school. Now works Ocean Lifeguard. ...

    On a positive note it is good to know that your doctor did not just say you have celiac disease, go forth and be gluten free. She cares enough to know the ulcer needs to watched. Once clear of the gluten damage most deficiencies get better but taking extra vitamins and minerals to enhance your dietary intake will speed the process. Vitamin D will...

    Your disrupted digestion could be deficiency in choline catching up with you. Only 10% on western diets eat enough liver, beef or eggs to meet the minimum recommended daily intake. You would need to eat at least10 cups of cooked brocolli or three eggs everyday. I tale 840 mg of phophatidyl choline (equals about 500 mg of choline) because it is the form we...

    Chances are as a Celiac you have deficient vitamin D. It behooves you to get as much vitamin D in yourself as you can as quick as you can. Ask the surgeons office or just do it on your own. Has anyone ever checked your blood plasma? Vitamin C also helps healing in dental bone grafts. "more than 17,000 healthy adult volunteers participating in a...

    Was this replacing only tapwater or other drinks like juices, coffee, soft drinks?

    It seems to go back to a baby food manufacturing error in the early 50's where 1000 times the vitamin D was added to British baby foods causing an epidemic of hypercalcimia and many infant deaths. My guess is they used mg instead of mcg. The reaction was to limit D and the rest of the world just followed suit. You may have noticed that almost all research...
