    Out of curiosity, is the doctor telling you you don't need Thiamine the same one who insisted you don't have a problem with Gluten? It is a shame you can't get the thiamine injection. Regarding Cream of Rice: all you can do is try a small amount and see how you tolerate it. It has added vitamins. Does rice cause thiamine deficiency? Thiamin...

    You might try Cream of Rice. It is on the shelf next to the Cream of Wheat cereal, near the oatmeals. It's been around for half a century at least and might be one of the first products that cleary stated. Gluten Free in big bold letters. Rice consumption is one of the reasons the Japanese created benfothiamine.

    If you haven't been tested, blood plasma vitamin D tests are fairly inexpensive and accurate. The medical boards promote that anything above 29 ng/ml (nanogram per milliliter) is sufficient but the real benefits are in the 70-90 ng/ml, and even at 10,000 IU a day it can take years to get there. The fear of too much vitamin D is way over stressed. There are...

    I am sorry you are still having problems. What medications are you taking? They can have serious side effects. My doctors kept trying to put me on diurectics for high BP. The first amlodipine caused me to double urine output and made my eyes so dry I had touble wearing contacts. When that did not lower BP he added lisinopril and the persistan cough side...

    Many have had the same response. Once the opiod effect wears off after being gluten free (figure about two weeks of withdrawel, you lose the analgesic effect and feel the pain more. So while you are first starting GFD it is extremely important to be super vigilant. Even at high vitamin intake it may take a long time to replensish your cellular levels. For...

    I recently went on a Lucky Charms binge. Even without the fiber oats are good and for energy you can't beat sugar. Sprinke on Inulin for fiber. (unless Diabetic). Cheerios has less sugar. They also have the vitamins added that gluten products are required. Snickers are a go to. M&M Peanuts. Potato chips, Frito's, Popcorn (check flavoring ingredients....

    That too will clear with GFD. Try to get blood vitamin D level; also. It is quite common in Celiac Disease and will need to be addressed

    here is no more advantage to eating gluten for you, regardless of reason. It is a toxin. There are actually over 200 symptoms associated. If just one makes you feel better isn't it worth it? Whatever the test results if you continue to eat gluten you will be sick.. I believe you are already convinced. Just do it. Try adding lots of choline to your...

    Every one is different. Depends on how much damage you have and your nutrient intake. Doctors generally tell you don't eat gluten, see you next year, but don't prescribe or recommend nutrient replenishment. Healing of the villi can take two or three months in younger people, several years in older people. The vitamins and minerals, as you already see, are...

    Until the testing is done you should continue to eat gluten, at least 2 slices of bread a day. You are 20 times over the normal and some countries will diagnose on that. Others like the US require an endoscopy with biopsies, additionally. If you start GFD before it you may not have enough damage for them to find. There may be additional benefits your health...

    Thus, plasma measurements likely do not accurately reflect tissue concentrations of choline. An alternative functional marker for choline deficiency is needed in a readily accessible tissue...At present, there is no definitive clinical test that can be used to identify persons who are choline deficient. Choline deficiency increases lymphocyte apoptosis and...

    Once on GFD the villi heal and absorbtion is normal. Vitamin D is the one to watch because we just don't eat much food with it and the RDA is only enough to prevent Rickets in our indoors based society. Unless you are getting lots of sun, it always stays low, leaving our autoimmune and mental health under powered. RDA's are set to the mininum. Best results...

    It is because the neocate has no choline. Rice milk has 2.1 mg/100 mg. Rice milk nutrition facts and analysis per 100 g

    The USA is the last place to take advice on choline. We don't even put choline in TPN because no one makes it here and can't import it so people die in the hospitals from non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Rice milk can make Thiamine (B1) deficiency worse. Liver, eggs, lean beef, milk are good sources.

    Dr Fine explained it well in article as a result of both parents having Celiac. Sorry but I've lost that article. Early Diagnosis of Gluten Sensitivity: Before the Villi are Gone

    Sad. But probably true. Perhaps go back to your ADD diet which you said you did well on but leave out the rice (carbohydrates) Dr Haas used very ripe bananas because they are easily digested. Less ripe bananas, starchier, cause a smaller glucose spike, important in diabetes, but not important when dealing with the malnutrition. Almost every symptom...

    The symptoms of celiac disease are similar to those who have CF but do not have a gluten allergy: abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and fatigue. So you already have two unrelated symptoms that could be Celiac. Possible cystic fibrosis and fatty liver. I bet there are more. There are over 200 symptoms that Celiac Disease can mimic. What...

    Wrong answer. The longer you delay the more damage to repair. And if they test positive, it is another risk factor for your own diagnosis as a 1st degree relative of a certified child. You whole family should go GFD, in my opinion, regardless of the doctors. This is only a medical issue as long as you eat gluten. Once you stop, and with all the essential...

    If you are ok with milk, 100% grass fed has omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1 while regular commercial milk is 5:1. White wheat flour is 22:1. Optimum for humans is less than 4:1. 25 mcg of vitamin D is enough to keep you from getting Rickets. For reference, I have been taking 250 mcg a day since 2015 and my blood plasma is steady at 80 ng/ml for over two years...

    Absolutely not acceptable. You will have to continue suffering needlessly while you have to continue to eat gluten for another year!? coeliac.org.uk: Coeliac disease blood tests and biopsy "If you have a positive blood test for coeliac disease, your GP will refer you to a gut specialist – a gastroenterologist.

    Antibiotics kill off both the good and bad gut bacteria indescriminately. Fermented foods help replenish and nourish the good. Homemade fermented dill pickles. Lately I've been drinking a ounce of the pickle juice and it has helped foot cramps. Could also be salt deficient if you are eating low salt diet. Salt tablets were used on hot sweaty days.
