I need to find a doctor in the west michigan area who has experience with celiac. Our internist suspects celiac disease for one of my family members. We are tired of misdiagnosis and want to work with an expert in celiac disease. My family member needs to have an endoscopy with small bowel biopsy which will hopefully end this medical mystery and finally lend a diagnosis. Thanks! momwags

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While the initial flu-like symptoms are a known side effect of Imiquimod, it is plausible that triggering your immune system in that way could have caused a long-term shift in your autoimmune response, essentially lowering your threshold for a reaction. Your theory is very valid. Given your history, the most logical first step is to eliminate oats entirely, as even certified gluten-free oats can be a trigger for some celiacs due to a protein called avenin. Treat this as strictly as you would wheat, barley, or rye for at least a few months to see if the recurring episodes subside. It's a tangible variable you can control, and many in the community have found significant relief from persistent symptoms after doing so. I'm sorry the medical professionals you've seen have been dismissive; trusting your own body's signals is so important. I truly hope that cutting out oats brings you the answers and relief you deserve.

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      Yvonne Ayers Albers,  How did you find out HCTZ contains gluten?   My search shows the Brand Name as gluten-free, while some of the Generic HCTZ may contain Gluten.

      Emergency Room

      By Katerific · Posted

      On Saturday I got glutened so badly that I had to go to the Emergency Room at the hospital.  I only eat in restaurants approximately 2 times a year.  We went to a pizza place that has gluten free pizza.  They show nutritional information about all their menu items and it seemed I could get all the ingredients for my gluten free pizza.  Now I read that pizzerias are one of the top places to get glutened.  About 2 hours later, I started vomiting and having diarrhea.  I couldn't stop vomiting, I was dizzy, pouring sweat and I was shaking so much.  I have never felt so sick in my life.  The hospital gave me Zofran and a bag of saline and I went home a few hours later.  Yesterday I sat in the recliner and sipped Pedialyte and ate gluten-free crackers all day.  I felt weak and nauseous.  Today I feel better, but weak.  What else should I do to recover from the gluten assault on my body?

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/
