First, I want to thank this forum and all that participate. You all are invaluable resources and are definitely helping me in this journey towards health. Thank you.

Last I posted about my struggles. It was mentioned a couple of times that I could be low in a couple of different vitamins or minerals. I'd like some of your suggestions, even brand names, if that's ok...of which ones I should seek out. I reckon my joint pain and nerve pain is the most concerning for me currently. It's not as bad as it was a year ago, heck, six months ago but it's as though I'm a 90 year old instead of 55. It was suggested the various B vitamins could help and possibly magnesium. Any suggestions?

God bless all,

Robin

For magnesium, fish oil, flax seed oil, and a good B complex I use the Nature Made brand available at Costco. They are all gluten-free.

I also use Citrical Maximum Plus, which includes vitamin d, calcium and some other things, which is also available at Costco.

American Mama,

Taking some Benfotiamine (always with meals).....can help your Neuropathy.

See this article about it...

https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2018-11/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy

Taking Niacinamide frequently can help your arthritis pain...

Here is an article about it...

http://www.doctoryourself.com/kaufman3.html

Also search for William Kaufman he did the early work on using Niacinamide for Arthritis....

Their also something called NAG that has been shown to be helpful for Arthritis...

Here is an article about it...

Good luck on your continued journeys!

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Thank you! Is there an ideal dosage on these?

I just follow the recommendations on the bottles for those that I recommended, As for the magnesium citrate, keep in mind that it could cause IBS symptoms until you get used to it. I can only take one per day with food, and it took me about a month of starting and stopping it to get used to it and eventually I had no IBS symptoms when taking it.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      If I'm not mistaken, you need to count by the grams of GLUTEN, not the gram weight of the bread. So, instead of counting each slice of bread as 35 grams, it would be counted as 2 grams, so that's why the recommendation is 5 slices a day = 10 grams. One of the moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that!

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
