    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.

    Amlodipine: Doubled urine output, dehydrated eyes interfering with contact lenses. No effect on BP Lisinopril: persitant cough caused inguinal hernia. No effect on BP Hydroxolene: neuromuscular effect large muscles. Shortly after taking I would be stooped over and shuffling with feet pointing out. I call it Old Man Shuffle.

    It's because our high carb diets have killed off most of our benificial bacteria. In adults lactobacillus is the main source of lactase. It eats fiber and excretes lactase. Homemade pickles and sourkraut will rectify this. Also commercial dairies use palmitic acid food supplements and that changes the omega 6 to omega 3 ratio from 1:1 in 100% pasture fed...

    yup. If you look at choline in terms of egg equivilancies, the minimum daily is 4 eggs. (Or 10 cups of cooked broccolli if you are vegan)The US Safe upper limit is is 24 large eggs. 3500 mg. Side effects rarely seen until 7000 mg. Most common are low BP and "fishy" body odor. MORE THAN METHYLATION: THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF CHOLINE WITH DR JONATHAN BORTZ ...

    Hi Dawn. As long as they are testing you do need to continue gluten, more is better because the test results depend on finding damage. Biliary Gastritis is caused by bile from the gall bladder backing up into the stomach, and low stomach acid allows the bad bacteria to survive. Liver and gall bladder issues may be caused by not enough Choline from eggs...

    First I'll mention that your high bilirubin could be a deficiency of Choline, B12, folate and or B6. High Homocystene levels, which are not a part of regular CBC and lipid tests are and indicator of those deficiencies. Your TSH is at the low end. My hair is filling in. I looked into this when I started gluten free Thanksgiving 2014 because I noticed...

    Are you having any digestive issues? One of the most performed operatons in the US is for gall bladder. If you are not getting enough choline in your diet it can cause dysfunction in your fat metabolism Even though western medicine says no Gall bladder pain can cause back, hip and sciatic nerve pain. Gallbladder meridian often play a role in the energetic...

    Does anyone else in you family have symptoms of Celiac Disease? There are lots of symptoms that are often put off as "just the way it is". Headaches, stomach problem. DH, and around 200 more. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/what-are-the-symptoms-of-celiac-disease-r1090/page/12/#comment-22626 Once you start a gluten free diet the symptoms should...

    I just remembered watching a podcast by Dr Mark Hyman in which he in passing mentioned successfully using activated charcoal on a patient to absorb toxins and sweep them out. Found this link for you, there are many more. In the ER they use it instead of vomiting for caustic poisoning. Natural Peptic Ulcer Relief

    I counted 19 different symptoms (of the hundreds there are, google it.) that bothered me for years. The first to improve was sleep apnea starting from the first night, age 63. After a week of GFD my 30 year stint as a hard core alcoholic just ended. After a few months my prostate hypertrophy, diagnosed when I was 21 years old shrank at 63 years old. Never...
