    Since you probably both eat the same diet, I suggest you both get tested for Urinary Iodine Concentration and Low serum levels of 25(OH)D. TSH is not a good indicator of iodine sufficiency. The WHO recommends a woman has an iodine level of 150ug/l to maximise fertility and the health of her baby’s growing brain.

    Whether Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance (in the US it is an official diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) if you go back to eating wheat it will come back. You already know how much 3 days helps, imagine a lifetime of improvement. Gluten is addictive. It affects the opiod receptors. But you do need at least 4 slices of bread or the equivalent...

    Welcome to the forum @Banana I was 63 when I started GFD and had been mostly stuck in bed since around 2012. My symptoms were blamed on 30 years of alcohoiism. Funny thing; after only 3 days of GFD, I stopped drinking and did not miss it. Another test is antigliadin G. It may be posistive even if the other tests are negative. I...

    Sorry Typo, I meant supples us with lactAse. They make LactAse for themselves but we enjoy the benefits in a symbiotic relation. "Humans started to drink mammal’s milk 11,000 years ago. Nowadays, cow, goat and sheep milks account for about 87% of the world milk production. The high incidence of allergies to cow’s milk components and autoimmune diseases is ...

    @Dora77, I started taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 around March 2015. I also am taking 250 mg Thiamine one to three times a day.. In September 2019 it was still only at 47 ng/ml. It was another two years before I reached 80 ng/ml and has stayed between 80 and 93 since. Last May it was 93 going into the spring with lots of sun exposure so I took a...

    You are not alone in this. Cant stop burping since having baby!! advice please Thiamine deficiency can cause gas. Gastrointestinal Beriberi. You might find these studies interesting.

    since she couldn't share in the others' food due to her sensitivity, she preferred not to share her own meal either. Part of the anger stage of mourning.

    Hello @Dora77, It seems you are doing well on your gluten free diet other than a few glitches. As @trents said, this and even your anxiety level both are symptoms of your Celiac Disease and malabsorption. Are you overexagerating? I don't think so. It is good that you are aware, but don't let it get in the way of life. Your...

    I get the Canyon Heritage Style Wholegrain sometimes the Honeywhite. Their heritage style is about the size and texture of rye bread. Keep it in the freezer and nuke two slices for a minute then cool on a wood cutting board. Good for roast beef, ham and swiss and hamburgers.

    No, the increase in antibodies is due to gluten, but the excema may be caused on of the symptoms of Celiac. Plus low vitamin D. Could be one of the symptoms of gluten intolerance not usually recognized as a gluten problem. From the article above What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? Conditions Associated with Celiac Disease: Skin Problems...

    To @jayjays, Take vitamin D for the night terrors, Thiamine for the neuralogic, and Choline for the gut dybiosis and brain fog, Red Bull for the energy. I do think his recearch is important, he is looking for a non Gluten Challange way to diagnose Celiac Disease. Wonder where this research went:

    During this entire discusssion of the immune system there was no refefernce to the fact that vitamim D regulates T cells
  14. Wheatwacked
    Yes, does not matter. Anti-gliadin IgG is an antibody that detects the body's reaction to gluten. You can have other things going on, but bottom line is you have an abnormal immune system reaction to gluten. Remove it from your life. Some have withdrawal for up to 10 days, and thats depressing. It is due to the strong effect of gluten on the opiod...

    Elevated levels of Anti-Gliadin IgG might mean that your body is reacting to gluten. This can happen when your immune system is more sensitive to gluten, which could be a sign of non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). In the US 10% of the population are diagnosed NCGS while only 1% are diagnosed Celiac Disease. "5 of 26 patients (20%) with biopsy-proven...

    Hi Layu, Could you copy the lab results, exactly as they appear. Test, your results and the range the lab uses? Did the gluten free diet help? It could be that the probiotic helped limit the damage the gluten was doing. It may have lowered your test results, especially if your tests were taken during a period when you were not eating gluten...

    I tried that but it wasn't enough. Liquid Iodine drops. In the 1970s, the median urinary iodine (UI) level in the United States was 320 mcg/L, which indicated adequate dietary iodine intake. However, the median UI level dropped by 50% between the 1970s and 1990s. This decline was likely due to a decrease in salt and egg consumption and the removal...

    Looks like you are doing everything right as far as food choices. Throughout the day I use Red Bull for my energy calories. Red Bull is sugar water and the vitamins needed to process into energy plus Taurine an antioxidant. "Your body uses taurine for several different functions." Your body makes its own taurine, but you can also get it through...

    If you want help deciphering the results post the post the test, name, your result and the lab's normal range. Something to read while waiting for the results.

    Talk to your doctor about getting the blood work done as soon as possible. Today would be good. If they come back as Celiac you could put off the endoscopy and do an endoscopy later after a Gluten Challenge. But, many find they are more sensitive to gluten after being gluten free for a while. At this point the only reason for delay is getting a GI...

    Each of your symptoms could be caused by Celiac Disease and the malnutrition it causes. What are the chances of having GAD, OCD, Asthma, GERD, Ulcerative Colitis, bloating and lots of gas from the back end and the front end, loose stool that came with mucus and undigested foods, anxiety has been super high, thin stool, hair tends to fall out, odd aches and...

    The only way is to keep a food journal, ingredients and quantity and calculate your daily intakes. "Eating the rainbow" is a nice panacea but is just guessing. Blood tests show blood level, not cellular content. Shows how accuracy in words is important. One souce says "high levels of TgAb (≥40 IU/mL) are linked to increased rates of thyroid cancer)....

    It can be hard to find. I get it from Pipingrock.com.

    I agree. A new disease was identified, Non Celiac Gluten or Wheat Sensitivity, about 10 years after Norman Borlaug received his Nobel Prize in 1970 for starting the Green Revolution with the modern wheat. Many of the same symptoms, but not proven yet to be autoimmune. Not long after starting GFD in 2014 I hit a plateau. Turned out to be numerous...

    Welcome to the forum @Ellenb246 I only buy Daisy 4%. Fats have an effect on the appestat. Eating reduced fat foods leave you unsatisfied so you fill up on carbs.
