Thanks so much.:)

Some people have intolerance or allergy to corn. You might want to read up on that too.

I have had some problems similar to yours. When I went gluten-free I improved slowly and still had some digestive issues - I tried removing dairy and nightshades with no improvement. From 6-14 months gluten-free I was in excellent health for the first time in years - then many of my symptoms returned and got worse. Only recently did my digestive issues return in full force.

I've been researching Lectins and Leaky Gut Syndrome which led me to start full elimination diet a few days ago. I started with two days green smoothie detox. Today is day 3 - I woke up sluggish as usual, but within a few hours I was wired (felt like I'd drank several cups of coffee) - was vertical for the entire day (haven't been that in months) and my brain was clear (have had terrible fog/memory problems). I'm still in muscle/joint pain, but am hopeful that I might be on the right track.

I'll be eating meat/vegies/fruit only for the next several weeks (depending on improvement) followed by challenge period where each problem lectin group is introduced separately: eggs, nightshades, nuts, dairy and grains.

Anyway some websites that I found interesting are:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
