Any Advice - Highly Appreciated!

Read the posts by KnittyKitty and Posterboy. You may be Non Celiac Wheat Sensitive in which case no amount of testing will confirm. I'm with you about the gastroscopy. True that negative outcomes are statistically <1% but so was my chance of being Celiac, yet here i am. Go with your gut feeling. If you focus on increasing potassium in your diet you...

Ever notice how angry people get when you suggest they try gluten free? That's the addiction talking. Similar to the response from an alcoholic when you suggest they have a problem. The general population thinks that Celiac or NCGS means you are defective and so immediately become defensive. More correctly is that the foods we are marketed are defective....

I mix 2 packets of Quaker Gluten Free Oats(70g) and add 7 grams of Bobs Red Mill Flaxseed Meal for the vitamin A. 12 grams of fiber and 520 RAE vitamin A. The theory is that the fiber in oats catures bile, made from cholesterol, to remove it. This causs the liver to use choline to create new bile from cholesterol. In any case my total cholesterol is down...

DiGiorno Debuts Gluten-Free Frozen Pizza
Wheatwacked commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
I have to wonder why DiGiorno would spend extra money to de-glutenize wheat rather than use an alternate flour. For that matter, why does Campbell put wheat in all their soups? I vaguely remember years ago reading a comment by an industry executive proudly stating that wheat is more addictive than potato chips. "Wheat is addictive in the sense that the... -
Dr Wentz states: "Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine" These articles might interest you. These are just excerpts. "Daily intake of iodine by an individual amounts to 500 micrograms;...Normally about 120 micrograms of iodide are taken up by the thyroid gland for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. While major portion...

Oatmeal: 26 calories per gram of fiber. Iceberg Lettuce: 11 calories per gram of fiber. Cabbage: 10 calories per gram of fiber.

Once upon a time, the cure for diarrhea was rice, bananas and bread. As an outside possibility, my older brother had a stoma that connected his bladder to colon that had a similar symptom. Unfortunately that elective surgery is the one that killed him. Septicemia because his intestine would not seal. Required a colostomy then stroked out after six...

I am amazed, in reading through the tests and micronutrient deficiencies related to hypothyroidism that iodine is never even mentioned. Even Dr. Wentz mentions 7 nutrient deficiencies in hypothyroidism, but not iodine. As a nation we are ingesting 50% of the iodine compared to 1970.Cruciferous vegetables interfere with iodine absorption. They test TSH and...

As you are already on a gluten free diet the tests will be negative. You might consider DNA testing for genetic markers for celiac. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption. Of the doctors you mentioned the naturopath seems the most knowledgeable and proactive. Adrenal Insufficiency (not adrenal fatigue which is in the realm of quackery) might be...

"Although celiac disease is readily considered in patients with classical presentations of the disease, atypical manifestations may be the only presenting symptoms.

The ribs and hips and another bone (its been awhile since I read the research) have more potassium than calcium. "phosphorus makes up about 1 to 1.4% of fat-free mass. Of this amount, 85% is in bones and teeth...Antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide, such as Maalox HRF and Rulox, bind phosphorus in the intestines, and their chronic use for...

No. The RDA's are simply the minimum needed to avoid specific risks determined by that particular committee. Every body needs more than 100%, especially Celiac, anorexia and other diseases that affect absorption (like potassium in IBS). So we take supplements because it is easier, not because it is better. I think a lot of people believe they are good at...

One day I found a website that will create a meal plan based on your nutritional goal. I requested a plan for 100% RDA Potassium. They came back with a plan that looked very good. The note at the end of the page: "This plan supplies almost half of the daily requirement for potassium." In the end I made a spreadsheet that uses the US nutritional database and...

"These findings suggest caution in the interpretation of a negative IgA tTG to rule out celiac disease in clinical practice." That's still 50% fewer people who need biopsy to diagnose positive.

My most notable symptoms were sleep apnea, enlarged prostate(diagnosed at age 25, cleared at age 64), protein buildup on contact lenses, alcoholism, back pain, and many others already listed for a grand total of eighteen things that I was told is not abnormal for some people and nothing to be done. Kudo's to your doctor for picking it up so fast. He is one...

I had to go up to 250 mcg (10,000 IU) of D3 before it broke my depression. After 4 days I was smiling and calling it sunshine in a bottle. After 2 years at 250 mcg then a two week break my D3 blood level was still only 34. It's been 6 years.

You are living the gluten challenge already. You have given a best effort but you don't need a doctor's validation to tell you that. There are more than 200 known celiac disease symptoms which may occur and doctors will tend to treat you for them first. Most of the nutrition benefits of gluten is in the added vitamins and minerals mandated by law. In 197...
