Anyone ever had the 50,000 units per week D therapy? Can you offer any experiences...good and bad...or nothing to worry about?

Also...my hair is coming out like crazy....and I have been craving potatoes.....someone said B5, B6 deficiency...when they checked October 12th...she said they were fine....could that change between then and now?

I'm also deficient in Zinc....and A big time so I have started that therapy.

Let me know what your experiences are.....

How long have you been gluten free? I had extreme cravings for potatoes all my life until just after going gluten free and I stopped all nightshades. Sorry, I don't know about the D therapy.

Armetta, So sorry about the arm. I've been away. Gotta catch up.

Its great they're using Vit. D for treating bone issues! I've heard though you should take calcium and magnesium at the same time though. The vitamindcouncil.com has a lot of info.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
