    Jack Lalane the body builder was a great fan of juicing. He lived into his 90's.

    I am taking 10,000 IU every day since 2015. It took until 2019 to raise my plasma to 47 ng/ml and another 2 to get to 80 ng/ml where it is holding steady. I stopped 3 weeks before a lab test and in those 21 days my plasma dropped to 72 ng/ml. Although no one will come out and say it the homeostasis level for vitamin D is right around 80 ng/ml. That's what...

    Make it a family thing so you can all support one another. You won't regret it. The transition is difficult because it goes against cultural biases and gluten is added to processed foods because it is addictive and makes you want to eat more. Load up on proteins, veggies especially leafy greens, and fruits.

    Hi @Buckeyegal1, Welcome to the forum. According to Lucky Charms the product has less than 20 ppm gluten. Some people are more sensitive though and there is the possibility that you are reacting to something else in the cereal or that you ate around the same time. They have several products so If you don't mind my asking, why the question? It also...

    Oh, and be wary of the PSA test for prostate cancer. There are many other causes for high PSA the doctors forget to tell you to avoid before the blood test. Chances of nerve damage from the biopsy are 20%. Chances of you dying from prostate cancer during your lifetime 1%. Even though my prostate had shrunk the specialist wanted to do a biopsy but neither...

    You are lucky. I was diagnosed with prostate hypertrophy at age 21 in 1972. Did not start gluten free until age 63 so I suffered to various degree all those years. The prostate formulas do help. Once I started GFD it was only three months before I did not need another bottle of prostate formula and about 18 other complaints I had to live with all my life...

    The added B vitamins in Canadian flour and sourdough is fermented for benificial bacteria. May explain the boost. It's got B1,B2,B3,B5,B6,B9 and magnesium to power up your flour. Too bad it has gluten.

    Yes but Cause is a strong word. Celiac causes malabsorption. You want to look at your iodine intake. Low vitamin D is a common factor in autoimmune diseases and higher levels of it may protect. Low choline can cause gallstones, gall bladder disease, high homocysteine. It is needed for fat metabolism so could be the source of your "mix of bleeding,...

    Until you have the diagnosis you must continue eating it. A negative biopsy does not rule celiac disease out but a positive biopsy is the Gold Standard for a positive diagnosis. Ultimately when you start GFD you will get angry that you did not start 41 years ago. You can start fixing your vitamin status. Celiac Disease is one of malabsorption and the...

    looks like a typo instead of 5,000 iu of D3.

    A low normal TSH is only part of that story. You need to look at T3, T4, and reverse T3 and T4. Or do what I did and eat one or two sheets of Nori a day. It is 100th or less of the iodine in other seaweeds so impossible to overdo. In a week I felt the muscle tone in my upper body improve. The RDA 150 mcg and the upper safe limit is 1100 mcg. The iodine content...

    I thought I was unique. For a long time I would turn on the heat at 78 fahrenheit. A long hot shower was the only thing that really worked. A lot of vitamins has gotten me to tolerate colder temperatures. Last week I was sitting outside and comfortably at 66 degrees. Even as a teen I would turn on the heat (if Dad wasn't home) Stinky poo: Choline. Less...

    10 ounce bottles of Magnesium Citrate. Although since the pandemic it has been out of stock in all the stores in my area. Dulcolax® Soft Chews — Mixed Berry, Black Cherry Dulcolax® Soft Chews are cramp-free laxatives indicated for the relief of occasional constipation. Each chew contains 1200 mg of the active ingredient, magnesium hydroxide. Wi...

    Your mix of symptoms could definitely be Celiac. There was a study that people who use Acid reducers (PPI) and histomine blockers eventually are diagnosed with Celiac Disease, as opposed to those who are prescribed only one or the other. While waiting for your gastro appointment any chance of getting your doctors to go ahead and get a Celiac Blood panel...

    Too many still believe it is a fad or psychosomatic. That wheat is an essential food and we need to eat it for good health. 🤑 If a primary doctor is going to refer to a gastroenterologist why not run a Celiac blood panel first? It would save time and unnecessary suffering for the patient while waiting for an appointment only to wait more for a biopsy. T...

    Most commercial dairies add palmitic acid to the feed because it increases milk fat and volume by about 25%. But it only increases the C:16 not the C:18 fats. What this means is that commercial milk has a omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of 5:1. Organic milk is 3:1 and pasture fed only is 1:1. Omega 6 generally promotes inflammation while omega 3 heals. Hence the...

    Welcome to the forum Sally. Could you please add some background information. Like are you diagnosed with Celiac, when did the rash start? Has it been seen by doctors?

    It has been known about for over 100 years. Years ago they said stop eating eggs and meat in a misguided attempt to lower cholesterol, so our intake tanked. It takes 4 eggs for the minimum RDA or 10 cups of broccolli. So it is an embarrassent for the professionals to admit the mistake. Here is a fairly good article. Could we be overlooking a potential...

    What is the reason?

    If I am doing the math right 5880% is about 88 mg, well within the safe upper limit of 100 mg of supplement. According to NIH professional Health sheet the side effects mostly start at 1000 mg - 6000 mg doses for more than a year. (66,666% to 400,000%) In all that number we accept as 100% is really only 100% of the minimum a HEALTHY person needs. Recovery...

    I found that getting over the anger of how unfair it is was very hard. Eating gluten free has been less expensive. Buy real food, not stuff in boxes. Farmers markets for what they have. A $7 watermelon at the supermarket costs only $4 at my nearby farmers market, and its fresher. Add your own flavors. Vegetables, fruits, meats are all gluten free until...

    If 94% of diagnosed Celiacs were not given this combo, it can't be the cause, but it may be a symptom possibly even a good indicator to screen for Celiac at that point. Depends on how many had this treatment and did not go on to develope celiac disease. Lowered stomach pH allows more gluten to survive past the stomach and may exacerbate the symptoms of indigestion...

    Thats why the one year exclusion. The ppi and histamine antagonist use preceded the diagonsis by at least a year to eliminate the group that took ppi's on the way to diagnosis. So, a patient who presents with a past history of PPI and histamine antagonist use is more likely to be eventually diagnosed with Celiac than someone who only needed PPI or histomine...

    "This finding is consistent with the Segura and Rosell [23] who reported that commercial GFD products often have the least nutritional value compared to gluten-rich ones." I think this is the key phrase in that report. Long-Term Effect of Gluten-Free Diets on Nutritional Status, Body Composition, and Associated Factors in Adult Saudi Females with Celiac...

    Choline deficiency is a leading cause of NAFLD. Choline is one of the many nutrients impacted by Celiac Disease malabsorption, but it the Western world less than 10% get enough in what we eat. Minimum amount RDA would be 4 large eggs or 15 ounces of beef or 10 cups of cooked broccoli a day.
