    It is addictive. https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/how-i-overcame-my-gluten-addiction/ After a month on a gluten free diet GFD you will wonder when the pain went away. If you go back to gluten the pain will come back. Because of the damage done to your small intestine you get malabsorbtion syndrome, where even if you eat adequate vitamins and minerals...

    Try switching to 100% Pasture fed, grain free milk. It has more omega 3, like the old days, which reduces inflamation whereas what we now consider regular milk has more omega 6 (inflamation) due to the feed additives used to increase volume and milkfat content. I can drink up to 24 ounces regular milk but sometimes it bothers me. Pasture fed I can drink...

    Pushing the definition, one could say that people who are GFD are not neurotypical because we don't worship the wheat god. I think Jean Duane PhD makes that point in
  4. Wheatwacked
    A neurotypical person is an individual who thinks, perceives, and behaves in ways that are considered to be "normal" by the general population.
  5. Wheatwacked
    Their Heritage style is about normal size.

    More stuff to look at: Are you getting enough choline and how is your plasma homocysteine. You need about 3 eggs or 15 ounces of lean steak a day, or 8 cups of broccolli for the RDA of choline. Choline processes fat through the liver and recycles (together with folate) homocysteine. High homocysteine is an indicator of clogged arteries (atherosclerosis...

    Could the more drawn out from the fats and proteins be from carbs mixed in? Small red beans and plain rolled oats are good for fiber and potassium. 100% DV for potassium listed on nutrition labels in the US is 4700 mg an FDA ruling passed in 2016 full effect Jan 2021; dispite that the RDA on the NIH healthsheet still states 3400 mg. Budget cuts so no update...

    Is that with the Duluxetine? Is it more calories or more volume that seems to trigger? Use supplements to compensate for what you don't eat enough. If calories is it carbs, protein or fats? If volume eat less more times. On a irrelevant note my younger brother (65) mentioned he has started having shooting pains in his feet, two weeks after a gout attack....

    If you can't eat eggs, supplement with choline around 1000 mg a day. RDA is 550 mg. The food plan I posted has 55 grams of fiber mostly from the oatmeal and beans. And the fiber feeds the benificial bacterial in your gut. You have to eat, why not eat the nutrition you need to recover. You might look at Dr. Fuhrman's Six Week Plan from his book Eat...

    I am sorry to hear you and hubby are not well. I wish you well. I was my wife's Kathy caregiver through stage 4b ovarian cancer. She passed when I was 55 and am 70 now, my son had celiac disease as an infant and I started GFD at 63 so I've been rather obsessed with this for a while. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorbtion. It's starts with an autoimmune...

    Sorry, I said that poorly and did not mean any offense.

    It's the Western Medicine mindset. "Not feeling well, yes we have a pill for that." It is slowly becoming clear to me that each of the vitamins and minerals has a primary function, however our chromosomes were programmed with if-then clauses to compensate for environmental variables. If enough choline (liver, eggs, red meat) is not available our cells...

    I had TMJ for a number of years. Eventually it went away. To be honest, I don't know why but suspect it was the Standard American Diet. Once you start Prolia it is dangerous to ever stop. Can Supplements Help Manage or Prevent Osteoporosis? https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/osteoporosis-supplements

    This is the meal plan I came up with to get all the vitamins and minerals from food everyday. It is a minimum, so you can add anything you feel like (gluten free) to be satiated. Supplement vitamin D. It's only 4% RDA. Calcium is 96%. Niacin 81%. Everything else >125% min RDA. 2600 calories. The coffee is for my ADD, milk and ice cream for calcium. Parsley...

    I was an alcoholic from 1984 to 2014. If there was alcohol I had to keep drinking til it was gone. If there wasn't any, I had to get some. One week after starting GFD I found that a) I could take a few sips but I no longer had to finish it all; the addiction was gone, and b) I don't like the stuff in the first place. Messes with my head. Apparently it was...

    Toaster over. In mine it takes two or three repeats, like it used to with rye toast. often I let it defrost on the counter first.

    Have a safe flight. It will all sort out.

    Good enough. I did not realized that you had already had good results with it. That's the same reason I take prednisone: it works, and despite the dire warnings of my doctor I do better with than without.

    Glad you got the spreadsheet working. 100%DV is the minimum a healthy person needs to maintain health, as determined by numerous commitees. We with malabsorbtion or consumption deficiencies need more to replenish and heal. Even though different countries have slightly different official numbers, they are all close. In the US the FDA requires that the nutritional...

    I went in circles back then also. The trick is to download SR28ABXL.Zip (2.9 MB)-Excel file format. Save it. Right click choose EXTRACT ALL. It opens it as ABBREV.xlsx. Then save it. It seems like just clicking should automatically extract it but it doesn't. Wasted hours. Text files open just by clicking but it seems like spread sheet files you have to...

    All the good TV detectives say there is no such thing as coincidence😎.

    I am 6'2", 170 pounds, so I used the RDA for adult male over 50. Mostly it doesn't matter too much. The numbers are averages. Since a female is smaller the rda's usually are smaller and the RDA for children is for the most part adjusted for size. I use the professional fact sheets for the rda and upper limits. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Potassium...

    Time to stop guessing. Can you weigh and write down everything you eat for a day. I have a spreadsheet I created for myself that calculates the nutrients in my food and compares it to the RDA so I know exactly how much of what I need to supplement or eat more of every day compared to what the NIH says a healthy person needs. It is surprisingly different than...

    "However, people with a rare inherited disorder called pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration can’t use pantothenic acid properly.

    What is your plasma vitamin D? I mentioned previously that there can be an inverse relation with TSH, ie low D causes high TSH. I also know from personal experience that raising D can relieve long term depression. I take 10,000 iu a day for the past 7 years and mine is only 87 ng/ml. My son, biopsy diagnosed as an infant (45 yr old now) works full time on...
