Wow, sounds like if I was a mouse I would be all set with a treatment for celiac disease! Squeak squeak! :D

Pretty darn interesting article for sure.

Not so fast.

They've managed to breed a strain of mice that react to vitamin A.

We aren't mice.

Pharma manufacturers will then try to sell you a biologic drug they create to then really, really screw up your immune system's reaction to the problem.

Read the stats and black label warning boxes on the current biologics that the medical profession uses to treat inflammatory arthritis. Almost no risk with eating a gluten free diet, versus all sorts of risks with those.

This is a pretty interesting study. I'm curious to see what falls out of it, particularly since there already seems to be some ties between Isotretinoin (aka Accutane aka 13-cis retinoic acid) and inflammatory bowel disease (see the study below).

Reddy D, Siegel CA, Sands BE, Kane S (2006). "Possible association between isotretinoin and inflammatory bowel disease". The American journal of gastroenterology 101 (7): 1569

Forgive me for having one of those CRS moments, but somewhere yesterday I read on a link that the incidence of celiac has also really gone up ever since the increased use of artificial hormones for birth control.... aye yi yi now if that ever really panned out and gets researched to show any correlation, there is gonna be some fall out !

My theory is we all survived our lousy childhoods (thanks to antibiotics) and lived long enough to reproduce, and I'm sticking to it ! ;)

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
