    Overall, the available evidence suggests that vitamin D supplementation may have beneficial immunomodulatory effects in HT patients Impact of Vitamin D on Immunopathology of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: From Theory to Practice Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac Disease. The Iodine & Hashimoto’s Question "I recommend keeping dietary and...

    Yes. And also assume you have vitamin deficiencies. Gastric metaplasia: a frequently overlooked feature of duodenal biopsy specimens in untreated celiac disease

    Welcome to the forum @RK37, My son was diagnosed in 1976 as soon as he was weaned. His doctor prescribed Nutramigen. They have a product for toddlers. Scary enough the Celiac, much less the complications. Celica Disease causes malabsorption of the twenty odd vitamin and minerals absorbed by the small intestine. So it causes malnutrition...

    Your next step is to undo the malnutrition. The damage done to your small intestine villi causes malabsorption and so over the years nutrient difficiencies get worse and those symptoms add another level. Unfortunately, western medicine treats symptoms, not cause. With gluten gone as the cause, you have to replenish your vitamins and minerals...

    Hello @olioil, Once you have removed the gluten from your diet you have started on recovery. Some people have a withdrawal period for a few weeks. "In particular, these short peptides showed a morphine-like activity and high affinity for the δ-opioid receptor ... Gluten exorphins (GEs) are a family of small peptides (four/five amino acids) derived ...

    Regardless of the testing, I think you have adequately proven to yourself that you have gluten sensitivity. If the endoscopy is negative, that is at the least Non Celiac Wheat Sensitivity. I wonder how much of NCGS (10% of the population vs. 1% are diagnosed Celiac) is the result of chromosones added modern Green Revolution hybridizing? NCGS...

    Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of some 20 vitamins. Many of the symptoms suffered are the result of low levels of these vitamins and minerals. Low Choline causes bile backup interfering with fat digestion. Quite possibly low Thiamine. Studies have shown that low levels of Lithium in drinking water have been...

    Vitamin D deficiency. I was depressed from age 39 until I started taking 10,000 IU a day at 64 years old. I started being morbidly depressed at 39 because I was sure I would die on my 39 1/2 birthday. My maternal grandfather had a massive heart attack and passed at that age. Of course everyone said get over it, but that feeling never left, I just stopped...

    Yes. B12 is needed to absorb iron, so though you are above average for the UK, raising it may help to raise your iron without resorting to iron pills which can aggrevate your stomach. Along with eating meat and eggs. Do you eat vegetarian a lot? 302 ng/L = 302 pg/ml = 223 pmol/L The medical field in Japan and Europe...

    Welcome to the forum, @Baz While waiting for the endoscopy, be sure to continue eating gluten. It is annoying but the endoscopy is looking for a certain type and amount of damage. More is better. Must be the modern day option to "Take two aspirin and call me in the morning"! Yes you will feel better on GFD. But it sometimes can be a rough...

    Hello @McNeill, Ann My gut feeling reading your post is that even after these 14 years you still have unresolved nutritional deficiency. If I might ask do you still have Celiac damage? What foods cause the problem? Other symptoms? The poor healing time might indicate iodine deficiency. It is never checked. We grew up eating a sandwich...

    You should be concened about vitamin D, Choline, Iodine and B1 to start. Choline can be metabolized into methionine, which may then be converted into glutathione through S-adenosyl-l-methionine. Choline-related compounds may also improve glutathione redox balance in children with cystic fibrosis. CDP-choline has been shown to increase glutathione levels...

    Dermatitis herpetiformis If your rash is dermatitis herpetiformis you might be able to get a dermatologist to biopsy it. It is taken from next to the rash, different technique than a normal rash biopsy. Any way, dermatitis herpetiformis is the skin form of Celiac, so it could be a shortcut to your Gluten Challenge. At the same time you can start...

    Congratulations on finding such a wonderful doctor. For the meantime, consider Celiac Disease as the true disease and the other symptoms a result of the malabsorption syndrome assosicociated with Celiac Disease. They should improve. These have all been related to deficient nutrients. Add choline for the NAFLD. Thats eggs and beef or Phosphotidyl...

    A blood test for vitamin D and PTH would answer that question. The best situation would be a consistant intake, preferably in the morning to simulate the daytime UVB to stabilize seritonin and melatonin production. For me, it is 10,000 IU a day. Since 2004 I have used zinc glyconate lozenges for colds. The lozenge coats the oral mucus membrane...

    All the time you were eating gluten, it was activating an opiod effect, numbing your body not only to the pain caused by gluten, but also other foods that were bothering you but you didn't feel it. Without that numbing effect of the non-metabolized gliadin molecules with opioid activity , now you feel it. Also a study in 2020 points out that some wheat...

    That is terrific news. 👯‍♀️ I did the math. 200,000 IU once a year works out to 547 IU a day, almost enough if all you are concerned about is Rickets and Osteoporosis. Also, in at least one of the studies you referenced, the effects of the high dose effects were gone in three months. Barely above. Celiac Disease because of its mala...

    Dear @OldNavyWife54, It seems to me that when the doctors are stumped it turns out to be a nutrient deficiency. Some due to Celiac Disease Malabsorption, which as you are eating gluten free shouldn't be an issue, but others due to bad advice. I'm 73. My son was diagnosed as an infant in 1976 and his doctor recommended gluten free for...

    I eat the Cooked Ham from Publix in the 1 lb presliced. They are marked gluten free.

    Hi @louissthephin, welcome to the forum. Your best bet is to shop the outer edges of the store. Fresh meats, dairy, seafood, vegetables, fruits. In other words, real food. Even better for pricing, go to a farmers market. Processed gluten free foods have additives to give it the gluten look that even though gluten free, may not sit well with...

    No such thing. In the UK there are tax benefits and follow ups that come with an official diagnosis you might want to look into. So is he giving you an official diagnosis or is it just his personal advice? But at least your doctor got the avoid gluten part right. Celiac Disease and the western diet cause vitamin and mineral deficiency, that in turn cause...

    Welcome to the forum. Lots of good information here. I did a Google search "gluten free in queensbury ny" and this came up. Gluten-Free Restaurants in Queensbury, New York Hey, thanks for the post. I did not know Jersey Mike's Subs has the option. I am going to check out the one near me.

    Hi Shirley. Welcome to the forum. Yes it is common. Also common is deficiency in vitamins D, B1, B2, B3, B5, B12, choline and likely Iodine deficiency. They forgot to mention that Celiac Disease causes malabsorption? Avoid Gluten religiosly, track your vitamin intakes and fortify as needed. You will be healthier than your peers. It make take...

    While you are eating gluten and waiting on the doctor you could start taking Choline. It won't affect your your testing for Celiac and may help alleviate your discomfort and keep you out of the ER. "According to some research, over 90% of Americans don't get enough choline in their diet. You may notice that the warning that consuming too much choline...
