- knitty kitty replied to Shining My Light's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms21Virus, celiac disease or both?
@Shining My Light, Yes, celiac is spelled differently in Great Britain. Yes, please do consider us as part of your support circle. I had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, too. I learned Vitamin D acts as a hormone when at levels between 78-100 nmol/L. Mine was in the single digits. I had been in declining health for years without answers. I... -

@trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against. I... -

@knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things. -

@Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency. I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate. These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines. I do still get Ophthalmic migraines... -

@knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up! I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there. He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now. I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.- 1

@Shining My Light, Yes, celiac is spelled differently in Great Britain. Yes, please do consider us as part of your support circle. I had a serious Vitamin D deficiency, too. I learned Vitamin D acts as a hormone when at levels between 78-100 nmol/L. Mine was in the single digits. I had been in declining health for years without answers. I had developed hormone problems and clinical depression among other symptoms. I corrected my Vitamin D deficiency with high doses to get my level up quickly. Yes, it's safe. Here's some studies done on high dose Vitamin D. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ ... -

@trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against. I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment. @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also. I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for... -

@Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency. I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate. These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines. I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens. It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies. An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress! -
