It seems that you did your research good and I like your style of writing. I agree with you that sunlight is vital. And with everything else you talked about. Good job! My daughter is allergic to wheat, eggs and milk, but none of the doctors we saw for this wanted to help with advice. Celiac disease is a plague that most doctors don't even want to admit. I diagnosed my daughter myself initially, just by symptoms. I hope we will get it under control. The doctors only made the situation harder...<br/><br/>

You mentioned Kellogg's corn flakes as a possible small source of Vitamin D . My understanding is that this product contains Maltodextrin (or something similar to that), and is not a gluten free item. I actually really liked this stuff, so I phoned their 1-800 number and they confirmed the non-gluten free status for this product.<br/><br/>

I sympathize with you about your immune problems.  I am the same way - plagued by bladder infections and facial cellulitis.  My urologist recently started me on D-Mannose.  It is a sugar molecule that attracts, like a magnet, bacteria in the bladder so it passes right through and doesn't get an opportunity to burrow into the bladder wall.  It might be worth a try to see if it works for you.<br/><br/>

My name is Fatima, and I live overseas in Jordan.  I had an elevated PTH and vitamin D deficiency for over 10 years! and just recently my PTH level came down to normal, and my vitamin D is up to normal level by using a 50,000 powdered vitamin D once every week for 2 months, and then 5000 every other day for another month.  And this is how my deficincies and PTH were corrected. Hope this help.<br/><br/>

In reality, you'd have to take a lot before that would happen (most people would not take more than 20 000iu per day). However, when taking large doses, you need to get enough magnesium, as well as some zinc, K2 and calcium - either from diet or supplements. With magnesium, you'd need supplements, though. About 400-1000mg per day, and your body will usually tell you how much you need. Get a good bio available brand.<br/><br/>

The author points out the relationship of celiac disease to the prevalence of wheat in the American diet, and he means all wheat, including "healthy" gluten-free bread. I think this book is a good read for anyone with nutrition and digestion problems. Will keep you posted on how I do on a (challenging!) wheat-free diet.<br/><br/>

After I started adding foods back in, the symptoms for all food groups across the board were out of control - I seemed to be allergic to everything. Your article gives me renewed hope. One of the supplements a doctor had given me after doing testing was Vit D3-5 from Bio-Tech. I had stopped taking it along with 5 other supplements for reasons I won't bore you with. I think I'll add in the vitamin D and see if that makes a difference. I'm also vitamin C deficient to the point of scurvy, but can juice with my Omega 8400 Juicer with no problem (when I'm awake!)<br/><br/>
