Could Use Your Advice Regarding Body Aches And Vitamin D


Framefunnyfarm

Hello

I have been feeling VERY achey for the last couple weeks. I went in and spoke with my doctor and told her my concern about my vitamin levels. She warned me that my complaints sounded like I was being cc. She did run my vitamin levels. My B was fine. She just emailed yesterday my D was low normal at 31 with the reference range being 30-80. She suggested increasing my d supplement. But now I am left wondering if I am so achey because of my d? Is that level low enough to cause aches and pain and fatigue?

Whether or not the low Vitamin D level is causing your aches, you should start supplementing soon because Vitamin D is a very important nutrient for keeping you well and protecting you from certain cancers. For people with celiac, it's advised at conferences that we take Country Life Natural Vitamin D, which contains Vitamin A (you need to take a proper ratio of Vitamin D to A because there are twice as many A receptors on our cells as D receptors) as well medium-chain triglycerides, which help people with celiac to absorb both the D and A. This is important! Otherwise, you may supplement with just Vitamin D....and very little will happen to your level.

Regarding your aches and pains, have you been tested for thyroid problems? Achy joints and tendinitis-like pains can occur when your thyroid is even a little bit "off." This is always the first symptom I get when I begin to go either hypo- or hyperthyroid. I have Hashimoto's, which has been under control for a few years, but occasionally my level tips one way or the other. Another way to tell if it's your thyroid is if you're becoming somewhat constipated, you may be becoming hypothyroid; conversely, if your stools have suddenly become more frequent and loose, you may be becoming hyperthyroid. Also, you may suffer from foggy thinking and memory problems or fatigue.

Lastly, the aching may be due to your ingestion of the wrong ratio of Omega 6s to 3s. If you take 1/2 teaspoon of organic flaxseed oil with 3/4 teaspoon of organic safflower oil mixed into a smoothie or a glass of juice each day, you may get some relief within a few days if this is what's causing your pain.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free
