    It's called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Summer is the only time you get enough vitamin D from sunlight. The rest of the year we use up out stored reserves. Anything more than 29 ng/ml vitamin D blood plasma is considered as sufficient, enough to keep Rickets and osteomalacia at bay, but the normal level is 70-90 ng/ml. You need lots of unprotected sunlight...

    I get my iodine by eating a sheet of nori with my breakfast coffee. It takes 3 sheets for the RDA 125 mcg. The upper limit is 1100 mcg and the Japanese eat three times that. Iodine Fact Sheet for Health Professionals

    Choline is the most abundant salt in BILE and helps keep bile healthy. This powerful nutrient has been shown to improve many health conditions, including, ALL neuro-degenerative conditions, liver conditions, cognitive performance, fetal development, even glaucoma. https://www.panaceanutritionals.com/blog/2018/10/27/choline-the-most-important-nutrient-of...

    I would suspect malnutrition, especially if you have Celiac Disease. There are a lot of vitamins and minerals that are affected by malabsorbtion syndrome and many that are just deficient in the SAD diet and more so in the Gluten Free SAD diet. Vitamin D is the mother supreme of our immune system. Low vitamin K will cause bruising. Low iodine and other antioxidents...

    You can be reacting to the Roundup independantly of your celiac disease. If you really want to prove you don't have celiac disease, eliminate all Roundup contamination and do a gluten challenge with a safe source of gluten. While celiac can mimic hundreds of other symptoms it does not preclude other toxins and infectious diseases and other diseases don...

    While waiting to complete testing for your diagnosis, you can start to replenish the vitamins and minerals deficiencies caused by malabsorbtion due to autoimmune villi damage caused by Celiac Disease and the SAD standard American diet. My personal feeling is that if any test is positive it is just a matter of time until it gets worse. The official diagnosis...

    That is good news. Finding what you can eat is going to be trial and error. That is the reason for taking vitamins. To ensure your body has the tools to utilize the carbs and fats and proteins. For a weird example, I fasted 36 hours, wasn't hungry so I didn't eat, (black iced coffee only) my blood sugar goes up (500 mg Thiamine HCL daily). Next day I ate...

    Please tell me this is all normal for celiac!! Yes it is and more. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? Is the doctor that says you are not vitamin deficient the same one who says you are not Celiac diseased. Not enough choline. You can believe her or your own body. Vitamin and mineral blood...

    This may explain some of your issues. Typical store-bought grain-fed beef has an Omega-6 to 3 ratio of 20:1. Grass-fed beef has a ratio closer to 3:1, well within the 4:1 guidelines of a standard healthy diet. Commercial dairy has a ratio of 5:1; Organic dairy 3:1; and 100% grass fed 1:1. So at least while you are healing try to stick to grass...

    The best way to quiet your autoimmune system is by raising your vitamin D level. Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Ekwaru et al recently reported on more than 17,000 healthy adult volunteers participating in a preventative health program and taking varying doses of vitamin D up to 20,000 IU/d. These...

    What kind of vitamins were they? In a multivitamin or separates, or a targeted supplement? I get most of my vitamins from PipingRock.com, best prices I find and professional. $15 for 250 capsules of 10,000 IU of vitamin D. Cheaper than a psychiatrist visit. It begins to work in days. At the beginning of summer (first day of hurricane season) I...

    I noticed that Gluten free Oreos used to be close to the same price as the rest of the oreos, about half the price of other gluten free cookies. Now the price is double.

    Hi Erica, I'm glad you have your diagnosis, now you can move forward and get even better than you were. Thoughout both threads I don't see any mention of vitamins or a nutrient dense diet. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorbtion. Here's what the Merck Manual says: "Celiac disease is an immunologically mediated disease in genetically susceptible people...

    Now that your gut is healing you will start to absorb more. Your location in the midwest puts you in the Goiter belt so a good chance you are deficient in iodine. It seems that doctors can only prescribe vitamin D2 which is half as effective as D3. It's an insurance thing. It is hard to find 10,000 IU D3. PipingRock.com carries it in 250 capsule...

    Here is a starter list of symptoms of Celiac from an article on Celiac.com. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/what-are-the-symptoms-of-celiac-disease-r1090/page/12/#comment-22626 Abdominal cramps, gas and bloating Acne Anemia Ataxia (gluten ataxia) Borborygmi—stomach rumbling Coetaneous bleeding Delayed puberty ...

    GFD saved my life. Vitamin D may it worth living.
  18. Wheatwacked
    The way I read that report is the guy that did the endo believes it is Celiac Disease, but doesn't want to step on the prescriber's toes. Your bloodwork also classic Celiac. Most of the other symptoms are often found to improve with GFD and vitamin therapy. There are upwards of 200 symptoms that can be caused by malnutrion as a result of Celiac Disease...

    Hi Ericagl?. You can probably relax. I can't think of anyway the cutter could be contaminated with gluten but there might be residuals from the manufacting process. As you are so sensitive may I ask what your vitamin D plasma is? Most Celiacs are low to deficient unless they take steps to improve it and it is essential to autoimmune and mental health...

    Kind of defeats the purpose of PPIs - to reduce the acid put out by the stomach's Hydrocholoric Acid producing proton pumps? I think originally PPI were used to give the stomach lining a chance to heal from ulcers but nowadays you can get them over the counter so you can eat Pizza. I prefer Alka Seltzer and foods high in omega 3.

    Giving up the gluten lifestyle is like losing a loved one. There may be a period of mourning and thats ok. After all, your entire life you were told it is an essential part of your life and in the end it is not a good friend at all. Lots of vitamin D is your friend. I have taken 10,000 IU (250 mcg) a day since 2015. It gave me hope. I did not start GFD until...

    @knitty kitty mentioned in a recent post that she uses Lugol or Tincture of iodine to paint a patch for absorbtion through the skin and it does not cause an outbreak of her DH. I have read about the skin patch test and some say it is valid, others say it is not reliable. How to Perform the Iodine Patch Test. After about 2 weeks of eating one...

    The aspect of Celiac Disease that is often diregarded by doctors is malabsobtion syndrome. There are some 20 essential vitamins and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine that can be affected and if one is, so may be others, each with its own set of symptoms. That your brother is also experiencing symptoms often comorbid with Celiac increases your...

    This vitamin chart below might help in your quest. I thnk the risk of toxicity is much less than the effects of deficiency and is easily reversed. "Urinary iodine reflects dietary iodine intake directly because people excrete more than 90% of dietary iodine in the urine" NIH Iodine Fact Sheet for Health Professionals "Over the last...

    Tamari Sauce is soy sauce made without wheat. Funny that wheat is first in the ingrediant list of most soy sauces.
