    Some of the B vitamins, B3 Niacin, B6 Pyridoxine, and Folic Acid (B9) and vitamin E have upper limits on supplements but no upper limit to food sourced. Synthetic A, E and Folic Acid have been linked to stomach, prostate and lung cancer in some intervention trials. "While their benefits are generally unclear, beta-carotene supplements do seem to...

    Here is the list of what I eat. They are all gluten free with little chance of cross contamination. To increase muscle mass eat more protein and less carbs. Cottage Cheese Oranges Waternellon Meat Bananas Vegatables Meal planning for athletes "A growing body of research indicates that protein intakes well...

    A short time gluten free and you will start getting better. Next step is to replenish your vitamins and minerals. Some are low because of malabsorption (the reason for Carti) but some could be diet. Recovery is do-able. In 2013 I could not stand long enough to watch a single cup coffee brewer do its job.

    Make sure you are getting Choline. Either eggs and meat or pills. Apparently no one sells choline in parenteral feeding choices. They do in Europe. "choline deficiency appears to activate cellular apoptosis." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19874943/

    How long have you had low D? Taking the prescribed 400 iu a day they typically prescribe is simply a cruel joke on you. Vitamin D is not just about Rickets. It is a major player in the autoimmune world. Low D could be your answer, Fix that and look for more. My son is a lifeguard, spends his whole day in the sun and was diagnosed low D (less than 29 ng/ml...

    What kind of problems? On GFD with appropriate nutrition you should be getter better while your friends not on GFD will get sicker. Are you eating enough vitamins in your food. Are you on prescribed medications. Many problems are simply nutrition but get misdiagnosed and treated with drugs that cause other problems. Choline is one that deficiency will cause...

    "a person who is abnormally anxious about their health." I think almost everyone of us either has been told that flat out or slowly began to believe it over the years. Try to get your vitamin D blood level tested and homocysteine along with the tests @trentssuggested. High homocysteine is a indicator of inflammation. My son has celiac Disease and...

    Hi @Skellig welcomt to the forum. Given your dramatic improvement on GFD you either have Celiac Disease or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. 1% of the world is diagnosed Celiac, 10% have NCGS. NCGS is diagnosed by eliminating Celiac and then showing improverment on GFD. What do you suppose your doctors reaction would be if you told her that even Irish...

    I had plantar fasciitis before the neurapathy. Rolling a tennis ball helps. Shallow knee bends under a hot shower running down the back. The goal is to relaxe and stretch the foot, calves and lower back. My sister in law went to a foot doctor and she vibrated it loose with some kind of impact hammer. Reminds me of the old days when the treatment for Carpal...

    The movie "Joan of Arc" had a really good scene where the Pope was suffering from gout.

    "Researchers are examining whether harbouring some parasites in the gut may hold answers to painful health issues such as coeliac disease." https://www.coeliac.org.au/s/about-us/research/hookworm-research Also from Coeliac Australia. Really? And they say IGG antibodies is quackery? Other than the calories and fortified vitamins and the profit...

    I had that, and it is not gout. The only thing that worked for the gout was the prednisone which is how I discovered the prednisone was the only thing that worked for the fibromyalgia. Back then, pre GFD, I would wake from because I stopped breathing and once awake had to pee urgently but I couldn't walk to the bathroom because of the aforementioned foot...

    I may be alone in this, but I consider the vitamins and minerals pills I take as just another food source. That is different from other supplement pills like DHEA, St Johns Wort, etc that are basically non pharmaceuticlal drugs. Willow Bark tea instead of aspirin for example. For testing if it is a fasting test I stop the vitamin and minerals along with...

    They all are a result of too much pressure in the gastrointestinal tube pressing on a weak muscle area. A giant burp with nowhere to go. Different names for different location. A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of your stomach bulges through the large muscle separating your abdomen and chest (diaphragm) An umbilical hernia creates a...

    Your improvement on GFD would indicate that gluten does affect you. Because of its addictive qualities gluten causes DENIAL. With Celiac ruled out it still leaves NonCeliac Gluten/wheat Sensitivity, for which the only diagnosis is rule out Celiac and show improvement on GFD. Your may still be getting gluten in ways you don't realize. Soy Sauce is more than...

    The hernias are a result of excess pressure in the gut. For example, in 2014 I was lying in bed, smoking a cigarette when I coughed and a bubble popped up in my belly button. It was one of the final factors to start GFD. In 2019 Lisinopril BP med, caused a persitant cough and one day up popped an ingiunal hernia. The prostate surgeon pointed it out but he...

    This right here is enough reason. You made more progress in 3 days than your doctors have in 20 years. Fix your deficiencies, especially the vitamin D. Get your homocysteine checked, high homocysteine can be caused by deficiency in B6, B12, Choline or Folate or all of them and is often found in Celiac Disease. It is an independent indicator of vascular inflammation...

    Trace gluten contamination may play a role in mucosal and clinical recovery in a subgroup of diet-adherent non-responsive celiac disease patients Table 1 Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet (GCED), targeting the elimination of gluten cross-contamination Patients with persistent symptoms and/or villous atrophy...

    If your son feels better without gluten, why force him to eat it? Other than carbohydrate calories the nutrition in wheat flour is synthetic added back after milling. Potatoes for B vitamins beans for folate. meat for iron eggs for choline. "In our study, obesity prevalence has been positively associated with wheat availability, but inversely with...

    Before giving up on milk, try 100% Pasture Fed. It tastes like the milk the milkman used to deliver. It's omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is 1:1, the same as fish.
