    Celiac Disease Symptoms: List of 281 Ailments - University Health News. https://universityhealthnews.com/daily/gluten-free-food-allergies/celiac-disease-symptoms/. I've counted 18 different symptoms in myself that improved once I started a gluten free diet. Add to the list, though rarely mentioned: I was a chronic alcoholic that like 80% of us, no treatment...

    I take 250mcg D3 (10.000 iu.) daily. If I reduce that amount it only takes a few weeks for me to notice the change in mood. Among the other vitamins and minerals I take 1 tablespoon of Cod Liver Oil daily (~4000 vit A RAE) The RDA is 900 RAE and upper limit 3000.

    Fermented foods like pickles, made with salt not vinegar will help replenish the good bacteria in your gut. Specifically the lactobacillus, which helps break down lactose, some say it is more important than than the lactase our bodies make because we only make a limited amount and the lactobacillus takes up the slack. Ingredients: Kirby cucumbers, kosher...

    Why doesn't anyone make a supplement of 100% RDA (the minimum required) of all of the vitamins and minerals? Babies have Nutramigen.

    I'll take a wild guess that the raw milk was from pasture fed cows.

    100 grams of raw pinto beans is 1393 mg of potassium. They double in weight when cooked so one cup of cooked pintos (193 gm) is almost 1400 mg potassium and 175 mg magnesium. A 12 oz. glass of milk is between 500 to 600 mg potassium and 36 magnesium. One ounce (30 gm) of whole almonds has 81 mg magnesium and 220 mg potassium. Magnesium modulates the sodium...

    Try 100% Pasture Fed milk. It feels creamier and tastes better. If I have a glass or regular milk at bedtime is bothers me. !00% pasture fed does not. To be classified Organic milk only needs 120 days pasture. Dairy Fat is Healthy (mooscience.com)

    An adult dose of 10 oz of magnesium citrate results in a consumption of approximately 2000 mg of elemental magnesium per single dose. No wonder it works as a laxative. One ounce has 200 mg of magnesium. Slow-Mag has 143 mg per two capsules. 2 ounces of almonds has 162 mg and 440mg potassium. The magnesium RDA minimum is 420 mg. The RDA upper limit for supplemental...

    Magnesium drives the Potassium/Sodium pump, so yeah, taking a potassium supplement without the requisite magnesium (ratio of about 11 potassium to 1 magnesium) won't do much good to the intracellular level, but I imagine it could mess with the blood electrolyte levels which could possibly explain your blood sugar. Most foods with potassium also are a source...

    Supplements are useful in cases of malabsorption syndromes (like Celiac Disease, IBS) and dietary intake deficiencies (anorexia, iodine, folate). Some, like Pantothenic Acid and Thiamine, in massive doses override the normal absorption route and can have effects similar to prescribed medicines. Going on a gluten-free diet will resolve the malabsorption as...

    Try making your own pickles. It only takes three to five days. There must be a reason jokes about pregnant women craving pickles and ice cream were so popular.

    correction, should read Blood pressure.

    If the statins had worked for me I would have continued. Unfortunately Lipitor doubled my urine and I had persistent cough both interfering with sleep in their own ways, and eventually led to an inguinal hernia. Amlodipine dehydrated my eyes so I could not wear contacts. They did not lower my cholesterol. Many drugs do not work on me the way it does for others...

    Have you been tested for Celiac Disease or have your doctors simply dismissed it offhand or not thought of it? What other prescriptions are you taking and what are the side effects? You've been complaining about what appears to be ongoing gut issues since at least 2003. If you cannot get tested, try a Gluten Free Diet for at least a month. it isn't that hard...

    Celiac is a disease of malabsorption. There are seven vitamins and minerals that are directly affected by the shriveled villi. Once you start throwing up and and limiting your diet you are at risk for others. Eat lots of fruits and salads and raw vegetables. Potassium is the mineral most needed by our bodies (3510 mg/day according to WHO and 4700 mg/day according...

    Saturated fatty acids in general, and palmitic acid (C16:0) in particular, are harmful in part because they elevate LDL cholesterol and atherosclerosis risk7. Dietary stearic acid (C18:0), however, does not increase atherosclerosis risk, and, if anything, actually reduces LDL cholesterol7,8,9,10. Indeed, increased levels of circulating C18:0 lipids are associated...

    "Milk derived from cows fed pasture-based diets, is reported to have a higher fat and protein content with improved nutritional status (higher PUFA [polyunsaturated fatty acid] concentrations and better n-6:n-3 ratio) compared to milk that is derived from a TMR feeding system. Although TMR diets might provide improved ruminal conditions to enhance milk fat...

    Health Studies: KAMUT® Wheat vs. Modern Wheat | The Whole Grains Council https://wholegrainscouncil.org/blog/2017/12/health-studies-kamut®-wheat-vs-modern-wheat It probably will never make a difference for celiac disease, but almost all the varieties of wheat, pre-1951 was less toxic to the general population.

    Sorry for your loss. Similar family. My maternal grandfather passed at 39.

    thanks for starting this topic. Back in the sixties, people in the hospital on intravenous feedings were getting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Eventually it was discovered to be caused by lack of choline. Now they add separate choline to the intravenous feeding. The choline clears the fat. Low fat is a big scam. Same about egg...

    188 grams potato chips = 1000 calories (50% RDA) = 0.4mg thiamine (33% RDA), 30% iron, 28% magnesium. 41% phosphorus, 48% potassium, 49% copper, 35% manganese, 32% vitamin C, 56% niacin, 36% vitamin B6 pantothenic acid, 59% B6, 131% vitamin E, 35% vitamin K, 45% carbohydrates. The potassium to sodium ratio is 2248:991 (2.3:1). There is good stuff in potatoes...

    The issue here is that doctors like to prescribe blood pressure meds that are potassium conserving which overrides the body's normal control.
