    Yes, but I did not realize it was the magnesium until you mentioned it. Pretty scary thought. http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes.net/ I have uploaded my food log with its nutrient values not including supplements, if you are interested.

    Both. For zinc: zinc gluconate lozenges. It absorbs in the mouth. It also protects the mucous membranes from viruses. When my wife started chemo in 2004 I started taking it and have not had a cold since. RDA is 11, a lozenge is 13.3 mg. Magnesium: I add two ounces of magnesium citrate liquid (cherry preferred) to a 12 ounce glass of orange juice. 58...

    This seems to be a common story with Celiac Disease. Around 65% of celiacs are vitamin D deficient. Researchers have found that vitamim D deficiency is also found in depression, bone health, heart disease, cancer, and more; although they always point out that D may not be the cause. Dietary Lithium deficiency has been linked to anxiety also. https...

    That's why they call it the "gluten challange". You've passed enough medical tests to admit you to the 1% Club. As I understand, as a nonprofessional, from a medico-legal point you have an official diagnosis and you now have a pre-existing condition. It is up to you to decide if the food you choose to eat is more important than your health. I made that...

    Milk is also the last significant source of iodine through the use of iodine to sterilize milking equiptment. We eat less table salt, iodized salt is not used in commercial food, Iodine in the US, until the 70's, was used to modify dough, and fertilization in the megafarms does not replenish the depleted iodine in our produce. Aside from thyriod issues,...

    Withdrawal, some do, some don't. In the meantime one of the classic effects of Celiac Disease is vitamin and mineral deficiencies because of atrophy of the villi in the small intestine , and diahrea causes potassium loss through the large intestine. Cutting out processed food like bread you get less nutrients like folate and iron that are added to foods ...

    Could your histamine response to conventional cows milk be a result of the high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of the milk? Pasture fed milk has a healthier ratio than grain fed. Once I resolved my lactose intolerance with home made dill pickles I still had a problem that if I drank milk at bedtime I woke two hours later with indigestion. Milk is an important...

    Call your insurance to ask if they need to preauthorize the tests so you know your cost.

    If you have Celiac Disease, it is genetic and you've had it all your life. Many of the symptoms that you've had all your life and been told it's normal will go away once you start a Gluten free diet and replenish your vitamin deficiencies. There are around three hundred symptoms possibly linked. I counted 18 myself. With your mix of symptons, there could...

    The last cases of wild (naturally occurring) polio in the United States were in 1979 in four states, among Amish residents who had refused vaccination. Covid-19 has well exceeded the death toll from polio and regardless its origin is not going away by itself.

    Back to those same vitamins common to Celiac Disease and a Diamine Oxidase (DAO) problem . Looking at the second article, eating two or more ounces of almonds for vitamin E could help.

    It's effect on BP is entirely dependent on the individual. It's use is more like a mild warfarin to stop clotting.

    Me, too. Homocysteine is considered an independant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Flolate and vitamin B5 are the primary molecules to metabolize it but all the B vitamins have a role. Prednisone and aspirin help somewhat. Regardless of other risk factors high homocystein is bad because it damages your arteries. The WHO says increasing Potassium...

    Methotrexate, a Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) used extensively to reduce glucocortisones (prednisone) actually raises homocysteine. Prednisone use reduces homocysteine. So by using methotrexate to reduce steroids to control inflamation it effectively increases the risk of heart attacts and stroke. Counterproductive, ya think? DMARDs are profitable...

    I am sorry for that. It would be good if your husband joined you on your gluten free journey. He might find some benefit for himself.

    Personally I prefer alka selzer. As a weird side effect, aspirin makes me hungry

    So maybe your Celiac caused symptom was misdiagnosed as acid reflux disease, unknow etiology, taking into account your family history. There is a rebound effect of stopping PPI so it is a serious step.

    Long term use of PPI compouds the malabsorption aspect of celiac disease increasing the risk of malnutrition despite sufficient calorie intake.

    need to paste as plain text, it's a change they recently made in Edge.

    you can develope a dependency on Afrin if you use it alot, that's why they say short term.
  21. Wheatwacked
    Afrin

    Atrophy of the nooks and crannies in the small intestines causes malabsorption syndrome. Common deficiencies are fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, folate, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. Potassium is a "nutrient of concern" in most countries because we don't eat enough of it. Diahrea, a common comorbidity with Celiac Disease causes...

    It's not your grandfather's milk

    I think it would be wise, before starting an antifungal that may damage your liver, to see a dermatologist and get a definitive diagnosis. A consult with a nutritionist familiar with Celiac Disease would also seem appropriate. It is possible that you got it from someone other than Missy. That seems to have been a quick assumption by the ER doctor, who...

    Try 100% Pasture Fed milk. The feed and the additives others , including organic farmers, give the cows to increase milk fat and quantity, completely changes the lipid and protein profile. Pasture fed has more omega 3. Plus it tastes better, like the milk I drank as a kid. Home Fermented foods will increase your lactase levels if you have lactose intolerance...
