    I can't fit 10 cups of anything in my stomach😀 How about a 3 ounce top round steak, 2 eggs and and only 2 1/2 cups of broccoli for breakfast? Egg, hard boiled, 1 large egg. 147 mg per serving. 27% DV. Beef top round, separable lean only, braised, 3 ounces. 117 mg per serving. 21% DV. Broccoli, chopped, boiled, drained, ½ cup. 31...

    Estimates are that only 10% eating a western diet eat enough choline. Primary sources are liver, red meat and eggs. Milk also. All foods we were encouraged to cut back on for cholesterol control, but to me it seems it hasn't helped. But lots of people with gall bladder surgeries. Three eggs a day or 10 cups of cooked brocolli to meet the minimum RDA for...

    Thanks. At one point we were considered the healthiest generation. Then the best NASA could do nutritionwise was TANG! and warm ice cream. Our diets went from 3:1 omega 6 to omega 3 to 20:1. No wonder everyone is inflamed. 100% Pasture Fed milk is 1:1 whiile commercial milk is 5:1 and the pasture fed tastes like milkman milk.🐄 Have a nice rest of La...

    Good morning @OldWithCeliac. You nailed it. Around 50% of the population has at least one of the genes recognized for Celiac. Only 2% of them have acute symptoms and get diagnosed. 10% of the total population are diagnosed with Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. IE. test negative for Celiac but symptoms improve with GFD. The two books I found most educational...

    I have had prostate hypertrophy since I was 21 in 1972. It has completely resolved since GFD in 2014. I still have posteral urgency. Anytime I change position I have to pee. The Inulin soluable fiber I recently started seems to be helping. I think less belly fat pressing on my bladder? At 10,000 IU a day it took me from 2015 to 2021 to get my vitamin...

    I am not a doctor. If you don't eat gluten because of the effects, why is ok to take a medication that has the same effect on you as gluten, whether or not it has gluten is irrelevant in my mind. How low is your vitamin D plasma level? There is a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder. It is winter depression due to low vitamin D (no UV rays)...

    Here's thought: before eating that next donut. Ask yourself, "what's in it for me?" WIIFM. There was a saying in the weight loss community, "10 minutes on the tongue, a fife time on the hips."🤑

    Dear @reidertower. I am so sorry for your loss. My wife had 3 miscarriages before our son was born in 1976. He had an acute reaction as soon as he was weaned. He looked like a white Biafran baby when they switched from rice to wheat for famine relief. A few months of Nutramegen and weaned to GFD and he is today a strong healthy professional life guard.

    That is it in a nutshell. Once done with diagnostics for Celiac you need to be totally gluten free. Stick to foods from the Haas or Fasamo diets at first. They have good results. Even if you still need to continue eating gluten to complete testing for Celiac Disease you can start eating these foods for a quicker,healtier recovery, just make sure You...

    Yes. A diet free of gluten is not a fad diet and you don't need a doctors permission . Agribusiness would like you to believe it is an essential part of a healthy diet but other than carbs the only vitamins and menerals it supplies is added synthetics. My wife had endometriosis but we were in denial. These articles on Gluten Centric Culture may...

    This article may help. Gluten will definately cause brain fog. I got stupider year by year as I aged. Starting for sure at 10 years old until GFD at which point I am improving in spurts. By the way stimulants make me sleepy and antidepressants make me twitch. Something to do will ADD. Pediatrition said to give me coffee for breakfast and bedtime when I was...

    At last you're here now. Get lots of vitamin D. The plasma level of healthy lifeguards is around 70 ng/ml at the end of summer. Get it tested if you can. Eat foods with potassium. In the US the recommend daily amount is 4700 grams per day or more. If you eat 5 grams of potassium (not supplements) a day it is easy to keep track and you'll be eating foods that...

    The problem is that no one really knows. Over 40% of the population have one or more genes associated with Celiac Disease, yet only 1% become acute leading to a diagnosis. 10% are diagnosed with Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and don't have those Celiac genes. Low Vitamin D seems to be common in the autoimmune community. The age old question: Does Celiac...
  15. Wheatwacked
    Some tests that may help. Blood plasma vitamin D. Vitamin D modulates the autoimmune response and also has a great effect on depression and general well being. More research is indicating that the current recommended level of greater than 29 ng/ml the level recommended to avoid rickets and osteomalacia is the bottom of the barrel. The healthy level is closer...

    Hi and welcome. The poster may not respond. It can take years. Doctors have to treat specific symptoms and malnutrition is at the bottom of their list. For example, gall bladder problems are frequently treated with surgery rather than treating the nutritional issue of not enough choline due to malabsorption caused by Celiac, or poor diet. There are...

    For your depression try increasing amounts of vitamin D until you feel better. It took me 10,000 iu a day. Get your blood tested for vitamin D and parathyroid hormone as soon as you can to see your baseline. There is a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder that can be treated by light bars or drugs. Vitamin D and Depression: Where is all the Sunshine...

    It is a common factor in your group of symptoms. Low D allows the autoimmune system to run amuck. It made a tremendous difference for me. It took 10,000 IU (250 mcg in metric) a day from April 2015 to 2018 to raise my level to 47 ng/ml. Another 2 years to reach 80 ng/ml. It took only three weeks of not supplementing to go from 80 down to 72 ng/ml. And...

    What is your vitamin D blood plasma level?

    Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) may have developed, causing the current symptoms especially if you've taken an antibiotic. "This study showed that SIBO affects most celiacs with persistence of GI symptoms after gluten withdrawal." High prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in celiac patients with persistence of gastrointestinal...

    In this statement at least he is right. It doesn't matter if you have Celiac Disease (10% of population diagnosed), very likely with your brother or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitive (10% of population diagnosed). Wheat does you wrong. The general approach to it, according to the Merck Manual, is a gluten free diet and address vitamin and mineral deficiencies...
  23. Wheatwacked
    If you are buying gluten free processed food it could be an ingredient in it that you are reacting to. Some people have withdrawal symptoms. Gluten acts on the opiod receptors so you may have a similar response. Our bodies only store a few weeks of vitamins so your gluten free diet may have vitamin and mineral intake deficiencies. For a quick check add a...

    Omega 3 oils work because they counteract the estimated up to 20:1 omega 6: omega 3 ratio inherant in the standard american diet. Optimum is said to be less than 3:1. "The typical American diet tends to contain 14 to 25 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids." Omega-6 fatty acids: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

    This ain't the milk we grew up on. I am up to 4 12 ounce glasses of milk a day. To keep costs and omega 6 fatty acids down I buy one gallon commercial milk @ $5 and a half gallon of 100% pasture fed milk @ $7. By combining them I end up with omega 6:3 ratio of less than 3:1. Commercial milk is 5:1, grassfed 1:1 and organic The terms omega-3 or omega...
