Open Letter to the many GI sufferers Part 2 still suffering Look Beyond these symptom’s to the Parent Disease Pellagra with these many unruly children like IBS, GERD, UC, etc. up to and including NCGS and Celiac Disease (in Time I believe) Part 2
Wheatwacked commented on Posterboy's blog entry in Posterboy's Blog
I am familiar with it. Oddly enough, before I became an alcoholic in the mid eighties, I was a male orderly in 1972 at the Oakland Hospital (California) acute alcohol rehab ward. Vitamin shots were a regular part of the recovery protocol we used. Oakland was also one of the first hospitals to have AA meetings in the hospital as part of the...- 35 comments

The Ten Risk Factors Most Associated with Celiac Disease
Wheatwacked commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Celiac Disease Basics
I find it thought provoking that eating gluten (code name wheat) is last on the list possible risk factors for Celiac Disease. This highlights the failure of the government effort to make us believe that fat is the culprit for obesity by pointing out that fat free milk and vitamin D drops are causal to Celiac Disease. What is the risk when drinking ...- 9 comments

It is my belief, based on my experience, that Alcohol Addiction is caused by eating Wheat. The professionals see an alcoholic with Pellagra and jump to the 'obvious conclusion' that alcohol addiction is the cause of the malnutrition; and alcoholism is incurable anyway so don't bother to look further? So, Primary Pellagra...- 35 comments

Wheatwacked commented on Posterboy's blog entry in Posterboy's Blog
In my experience, there seems to be two levels of Celiac Disease: Acute and Chronic. Chronic is when you have symptoms that are annoying; for example my whole life, until I went GFD at 63, I was a mouth breather. It is something there is no medical cure for, and no medical explanation for, but plenty of "treatments". Acute is when the symptoms...- 35 comments

I, personally, have had a whole list of things that are not associated with celiac disease that magically disappeared or showed dramatic improvement when I stopped eating wheat and continues to improve as I improve my nutritional intake. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, so it makes sense that someone with Celiac could present with...- 35 comments

"Treating your Vitamin deficiency lets you treat your co-morbidities." Posterboy, this is such a huge statement that we all should take to heart. Thanks. I would give odds that if she had been tested for it, Karen Carpenter, the singer who died of malnutrition blamed on her anorexia, supposedly a psychiatric disease, was a had Celiac. For that matter...- 35 comments

Still have symptoms, related to something else?

The MTHFR issue is documented well concerning folic acid, but not folate. Hence, the increased risk of prostate cancer with folic acid but not folate. -

A lot of good info here. https://www.makesauerkraut.com/fermented-pickles/ I use 1/2 to 3/4 cup of kosher salt per gallon of purified water, a handful of crushed garlic, a handful of bay leaves crumpled up, a bunch of dill, and Kirby cucumbers.

And Pellagra is a result of vitamin B3 deficiency. Interestingly, when they started adding folic acid to foods it did lower the risk of neural tube defects like spinabifida to fetuses, but men taking folic acid (synthetic folate) have increased risk of prostate cancer while men taking folate do not. While regulations say that folic acid is identical... -

4 1/2 years gluten free after 63 years of eating wheat. Slowly but surely am improving. The neuropathies seem the slowest to improve. My lactose intolerance went away when I started making my own fermented pickles, without vinegar. Vinegar kills the lactobacillus that supports lactose digestion. Most commercial pickles are made with vinegar so no pro or pre... -
Can I trust this doctor?

Multiple vitamin deficiencies are one of the symptoms of of Celiac. If you have celiac disease you are vitamin and mineral deficient. Vitamin supplements may improve your symptoms Sounds like me 50 years ago. Although I was always told that there is nothing wrong with me, four years ago I bit the bullet and mourned the loss of my best friends... -
Does this look like d.h.?
Wheatwacked replied to Laurel F's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Sprue is another name for Celiac Disease. Your eczema could be caused by a vitamin D deficiency as a result of comorbid malabsorption syndrome. Google it. Regardless of cause, you appear to do better without the gluten and your doctors cannot explain. Your biopsy showed improvement with GFD and your rash returned when you eat it. It seems like a no brainer... -
I'm so frustrated
Wheatwacked replied to Lissa283's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There are 200 or more symptoms that improve with a gluten free diet. What never seems to be mentioned is malabsorption syndrome, which is comorbid with celiac. For example, a friend and I have been taking 10,000 iu. of D3 for a few years now. His blood level is 70 nm/ml and mine is 44. According to a pamphlet from the UK, in order to maintain the optimum... -
Elephant in the room. This was how my infant son was diagnosed and treated for celiac disease, back in 1976. Nutramagen infant formula only for 6 months, then gluten free solid food. Your neurology consult is not likely to find any conclusive answer either because you are in a state of multiple deficiencies for all 28 essential vitamins and minerals...

Of course it never occurred to your doctors that undiagnosed Celiac Disease might be the reason you needed the bypass surgery in the first place. Dr Mark Hymen of the Cleveland Clinic Institute of Functional Medicine has a new book, What the Heck Should I Eat? and Dr Amy Meyers specializes in treating autoimmune diseases.

Suspecting gluten intolerance
Wheatwacked replied to pjg's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had the same issue with milk in my coffee. I only recognized the pattern after being gluten free for several months. I would start the day with lots of milk in my coffee and by the end of the day I was drinking it black. So I went lactose free milk, and that was better for a while. I tried the other milk, Holstein vs Jersey, milk protein A vs. milk protein... -
Suspicion...Need Advice
Wheatwacked replied to Dizzypainbody's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You might be deficient in vitamin D. After decades of depression I added 10K a day of vitamin D and within weeks I stopped needing my anti-anxiety med. While you are at it check your intake of all essential vitamins and supplement as needed. D, K1, and iodine are never checked and are often deficient and made an amazing improvement in my life. -
I do a quick rinse with Lysterine, then brush with my $14 Phillips Sonicare brush and it cleans the tobacco and coffee stains with out toothpaste. In fact my teeth are cleaner than they have been for many years. The mouthwash softens the plaque the sonic brush cleans. No need for any abrasive toothpaste and as a side effect no gum disease. Its not like we...

My math says that there were 50% more celiacs with MG than the control group. 14 cases not celiac versus 21 cases celiac. This looks like the same math Johnson and Johnson used when they decided that a 30% increase in ovarian cancer by using their product was not significant.

I did not mean to make you angry. I think you might find this article by Dr. Meyers interesting. She specializes in autoimmunology. In synopsis: Raynauds can be a symptom of Lupis.
