    Lack of choline can cause bloating. If you are not eating eggs or red meat you are surely deficient. It is needed to process fats in the liver. Also works with folate to lower homycysteine and lower risk of cardiovascular inflammation and also is linked to fetal neural tube defects like spinabifida. 90% of the mitochondria membrane is phosphatidyl choline...

    This may sound weird but try eating four oranges (about 12 ounces peeled). It just made my eyes teary in a good way.

    This is an older thread. To answer your question, around 48% have some of these genes and only 1% of the total population are diagnosed with active Celiac Disease. Many people have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and have none of these genes.

    Welcome to the forum Maureen. The answer to your first question, "has anyone else?" is easy. Yes. You are not alone. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption. The villi are damaged by an autoimmune response to gluten so vitamin deficiencies is the norm, depending on how long. And that vitamin deficiency caused by Celiac Disease has led to your diagnosis...

    Is it the casein or is it the palmitic fatty acid (C16:0) used in commercial dairies to increase milk fat and volume which increases the omega 6 content of milk? "Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid whose blood concentration is elevated in obese patients. This causes inflammatory responses" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31363792/#:~:text=Palmitic...

    Taking any meds or supplements? Hot shower helps the longest. It got really bad on BP med Amlodipine. I still have the problem and it may be the copious amount of coffee I drink (in denial about that). I rarely take out my contacts and noticed that once I started GFD there was no more protein buildup. Vision Clarity Eye Drops works well for me...

    Parsley, red leaf lettuce, spinach. The RDA is minimum 120 micrograms (10 grams fresh parsley) with no upper limit set. Low levels of vitamin K can raise the risk of uncontrolled bleeding.

    Instead of toothpaste (an abrasive) I rinse with a tartar control mouthwash then brush with a cheap electric toothbrush.

    Rebound tenderness is an indicator of appendicitis. As a kid I used to check myself all the time. Still have my appendix.

    A ten-ounce bottle of liquid magnesium citrate costs <$2.00. One ounce has about 100 mg of magnesium (11% of 1.75) grams. Added to a glass of water it tastes like lemonade (I especially like the cherry flavor). The RDA is 420 mg magnesium with no upper limit from food sources. Web MD: magnesium citrate oral

    Naturally Fermented Pickles; it can help with lactose intolerance. Here is a sample meal plan with almost 100%

    Regarding vitamin D, I have been taking 10,000 IU a day since 2015. In 2019 my blood plasma was 47 ng/ml. In Aug 2021, 87ng/ml and Jan 2022 it was 80. My 42-year-old son, diagnosed with Celiac Disease as an infant in 1976 recently was tested as low for vitamin D. Here's the kicker: He works year-round in the sun as an ocean lifeguard in Southern Florida. ...

    My takeaway of this study is that it is not so much the alkalinity itself of the diet, but the increased minerals found in those foods.

    Budesonide may help control your symptoms, but it will not cure your condition. https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a608007.html Budesonide is a delayed release steroid, so the theory as I understand it of using the open capsule in refractory celiac disease by opening the cap more of the steroid is localized at the small intestine and less...

    Really out on a limb here; but could that mean chronic low B12 is a symptom of Choline deficiency?
  17. Wheatwacked
    Could be when you adjusted your diet to gluten-free you also cut back on choline, disabling the backup to MTHFR, which led to high homocysteine (indicator of cardo vascular inflammation) and that inflammation resulted in embolisms? MTHFR is a key enzyme in the FA-dependent pathway; the FA-independent pathway utilizes choline or betaine to produce methionine...

    Vitamin D status? Low D is linked to autoimmune activity.

    By my count there are 17 absorbed in the duodenum/small intestine. B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, Calcium, Choline, Copper, D3, Iodine, Iron, vitamin K, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc. Scary, right?

    Old fashioned cow's milk (ie pasture fed cows) has 147 times as much omega 3 as commercial milk. We have less inflammation when the omega 6:3 ratio is >1:2. The standard American diet is around 14:1. No wonder we're inflamed, and omega 3 oil supplements help. Beyond its critical function in calcium homeostasis, vitamin D has recently been found to...

    I kept a nutrient log for about two years. A sample http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes.net/ Like everyone I assumed if I chose healthy GFD foods I was good to go, but I kept hitting plateaus. First was vitamin D and iodine, trial based on my symptoms. I added one at a time. Later I started the spreadsheet and followed NIH recommended RDAs.
  22. Wheatwacked
    Everyone is different. Some say six months and up. I think it depends on your food choices beyond just GFD. Celiac is a disease of malabsorption of the 10 or so vitamins and minerals absorbed in the small intestine, so you need to replenish what you are low on and get enough to develop reserves.

    What I Supplement: Thiamin(B1) 500 mg, Niacin(B3) 500 mg, B complex; Pantothenic Acid (B5) 1000 mg; Phosphatidyl Choline 840 mg; Lithium 5 mg; Dhea 100 mg; vitamin C 1000 mg; Calcium 1000 mg; vitamin D3 250 mcg (10,000 IU); 5 mg lithium orotate; 15 ml Cod Liver Oil (vitamin A and omega 3); 3 sheets certified organic Nori (RDA iodine), 2 oz almonds (RDA vitamin...

    Aha. Still, something in your food choices since gluten free has resulted in cold feet. There are fortifications added to milled grains that you may not be getting enough of now. Almost 95 percent of the white flour in the United States is enriched with iron and four of the B vitamins: thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and folic acid.

    I buy each vitamin by itself. That way I can gauge its individual effect. Cost wise I think it may even be cheaper, because I am not paying for some exotic super nutrient or combo that markets well but does not help. I know there are lots of studies on bioavailability, but they all go into the stomach where they are processed at pH 2 and then the resulting...
