    And straight to the point: "However, a study of 2,012 participants – published in the American Journal of Public Health –found no statistically relevant association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)D) serum level in the range of 20 to 100 ng/mL and the incidence of kidney stones." Vitamin D Does Not Contribute to Kidney Stones, Study Asserts Oct...

    I figured you'd have seen that. One study I read pointed out that in those results Calcium was also supplemented and questioned could the Calcium have been the factor. After all it is Calcium Oxalate. "There remains concern, however, that increasing vitamin D intake even by 400 IU/d increases the risk for kidney stones, especially in patients with a...

    When my wife was pregnant back in 1976 it was recommended she drink non alcoholic "black beer" for its folate. It is full of B vitamins. Unfortunately all those B vitamins are wrapped in gluten. If I might ask, do you know your vitamin D plasma? One sign of D toxicity is stones.

    In patients with celiac disease, treatment with a gluten-free diet lowers stone incidence comparably to control levels probably not your best source of medical advice. Hope ours at least makes more sense. 😄 Were the bubbles supposed to jiggle them loose? Then they would still have to pass through, leaving I think a trail of pain through your ki...

    My wife Kathy had from childhood allergies, asthma, rosacia multiple miscarriages, endometriosis and died after three rounds of ineffective chemotherapy for ovarian cancer back in 2005. She was never diagnosed but Dr Fine's theory that moms antibodies triggered my son's Celiac so when he was weaned and introduced to wheat he immediately reacted. Six months...

    The mouth sores and swollen gums could be scurvy, vitamin C deficiency. The upper limit is set at 2000 mg a day, but Dr Linus Pauling, essentially the father of vitamin C, was taking 8000 mg a day when he died at 93. He recommended 2000 mg a day minimum. Eight ounces of peeled naval orange will cover for the minimum RDA of 125 mg needed to prevent scurvy...

    "With lactose intolerance, you can still eat cheese, but choose carefully. Hard, aged cheeses like Swiss, parmesan, and cheddars are lower in lactose. Other low-lactose cheese options include cottage cheese or feta cheese made from goat or sheep's milk." https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/ss/slideshow-dairy#:~:text=With lactose intolerance%2C you can...

    Misinformation. The industry would like us to believe because their profitability is at stake.

    To compare symptoms and what I think worked for me: Anxiety, adhd, depression - increase vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml; take 5 mg of Lithium Orotate a day. migranes - I've been lucky I guess. Never had. High BP - Increase potassium intake to DV of 4700 mg a day. That way even with the built in high sodium in the American diet you get...

    I'll jump in and answer that. All of the above. And there is the boredom of waiting on the seat for something to happen, while there is so much going on elsewhere. On the GFD he will learn to recognize when it is time to go now that the opiod effect is removed. 😊

    the point of the gluten challange is to eat enough gluten to make you sick enough so the tests will show that you are sick. If you are successfully navigating our gluten flush world, yes you will not "pass" the test. In my opinion Celiac Disease is not so much a disease, like Covid or measles, but more of a poisoning. Doctors don't learn very much...

    For the most part once you have healed the malabsorption improves. Unfortunately the western diet itself is often nutrient deficient because so many calories are spent on carbs with little nutrional value. Other tests to ask for: vitamin D - high enough levels can moderate the autoimmune response. "The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple...

    4% Fat cottage cheese is Celiac Disease friendly. Cottage Cheese and Red Leaf Lettuce salad, once considered a punishment meal for fat people turns out to be very nutritious. "Since the 1960s, when experts started advising people to eat less fat—based on the belief that a high-fat diet led to a high-fat body—obesity has skyrocketed. Recent evidence sug...

    @Summer M GOOD JOB! After 7 years it will take some time for him to realize that he now has control. I venture to guess he also has ADD. By the time he realizes he has to go...opps! too late. When my son was diagnosed as an infant at weaning (1976), his doctor told us that when he went to kindergarden it would not take long for the teachers to ask...

    300 Facts You Didn’t Know About Celiac Disease! @Ruba md, you might enjoy perusing the list in this article. Though you may doubt, days will be better, A common belief. There are actually over three hundred symptoms. I would have saved myself years if when I was 25 I hadn't said exactly that. "My stomach is fine, I don't have Celiac" Yet here I am. ...

    When my son bloated up after weaning in 1976 the most popular opion was my wife's anxiety was the problem. Valium for her. He'll grow out of it. He was one of only 13 children at the time being treated in a state population of close to 6 million.

    Glad you found us. Only 1% get diagnosed Celiac, but 10% are diagnosed Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Many here have gone through years of repeated tests and treatments for diseases they don't have before results of the tests reflect their reality. To diagnose NCGS first they exclude Celiac, then show improvement on Gluten Free Diet. Yuu don't need...

    Not judging but this is denial. Gluten is addictive and the lizard brain will do what it can to keep it's supply. Doctors are addicted to it also. My whole life I had sinus congestion. Doctors said I wasn't sick, no allergies, just the way it is with some people. Sometimes, especially around 13 years old, in my sleep my whole upper palate would get...

    @StrongStar Welcome. In a way you are lucky to be in a family of recognized Celiacs. It saved you years of neurologic tests and side effects of medications. Not to mention the financial costs and suffering. Amoung other things, Gluten acts on our opiod receptors. Some have severe withdrawal, some don't. Like opium or alcohol it can make you high but...

    Consumption of large quantities of Rice can interferes with Thiamine. That's why the Japanese came up with Benfotiamine. In order to meet nutritional needs after milling many grains are fortified with synthetic vitamins like folic acid. How can that be good? But if you like it and does not bother you, food is good.

    After a week this is probably still withdrawal symptoms. "The more gluten-filled products you eat on a regular basis, the more difficult it will be to cut it out of your diet due to the increased stimulation of the opioid receptors in your brain. People with a higher gluten intake to begin with are more likely to develop more severe reactions when eliminating...

    I've had a few episodes where out of the blue, suddenly I got nauseous, my lights went out and it felt like what I remember the nitrous oxide at the dentist felt like, spriraling down. Then I threw up had diahrea and got real sweaty and it eventually passed. I can't call it Low Blood Pressure but something happened and there is no food pattern. Once...

    It might have been an article here on Celiac.com. I did find one from 2021. "People with two copies of specific genes, such as HLA-DQ7 (a form of HLA-DQ3 that's similar to HLA-DQ8), risk very strong reactions to gluten, just as people with two copies of HLA-DQ2 can develop very severe celiac disease, [Dr Fine] says." Do You Need Specific Genes to Have...
