    I too was dx with D deficiency, but only after 11 years of bone pain and other side effects due to other serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies which were not even considered by the local medical community until I presented with life threatening symptoms. As a last ditch effort to "get me out of the office", the doctor finally tested my Vit D levels...

    Have you considered taking probiotics? Bacterial overgrowth is a real condition with celiac disease patients and probiotics is often too simple a solution for most physicians to consider.

    I also have extremely sensitive skin. I used to buy products from a dermatologist; but it became too expensive and just didn't work well. For many years now I have used a cotton ball with plain 70% rubbing alcohol to clean my face. Splash with water and gently towel dry; then immediately apply 99% aloe vera gel as the moisturizer. It is very inexpensive...

    I had experienced increasing severe aching in joints and muscles since being diagnosed with celiac disease. I hadn't seen a doctor since I was first diagnosed with celiac disease over 11 years ago since at that time they said there wasn't much that could be done. But as things progressed to the absolute worst, I decided to go seek medical help. The doctors...

    Hello grey, Since Nov 2006, I discovered that I am borderline osteoporosis. I had a lot of bone and muscle pain. So the doctor finally ordered a vitamin D test as a last resort. I was Vitamin D deficient. D2=8.3 and D3=14. At first the doctor said to take 800 IU per day. Then later that day she called me to say that she wanted me to take 16,000 IU of...

    I have bad reactions to canola oil and I cannot eat fried foods either. I usually use safflower or sunflower oil in pancake batter and just "dry fry" them on a non-stick skillet. I sure hope you can figure out what is ailing you.

    I use Braggs Liquid Aminos which works very well as a substitute for conventional soy sauces. You can read about it at the Braggs website Open Original Shared Link .

    Heather9500, If it is possible to see a doctor -- preferrably one that is not offended with an assertively proactive patient -- ask to be tested for B12 and Vit D deficiencies. Get the testing done PRIOR to taking additional B12 and D3 (the preferred form of D). Also, request a CBC to test for anemia. Though there are little if any side effects to taking...

    I've been eating the Lundberg organic rice cakes for many years. I buy them by the case. Before I eat the cakes, I microwave them to get the moisture out and make them crispy. CAUTION: The wattage of the microwave will determine how long to cook them. It might be best to experiment with the microwave first -- only cook them for 15 seconds and turn them...

    I've been taking All-One Rice Base Powdered Multi-Vitamin for 7 years. I spoke with the company prior to purchasing it to be sure that it really was a gluten - dairy free product. I can't speak to the other mixes that they sell -- but I've not had any problems with the Rice Base product. Of course, if you are also dairy free, you may have to supplement the...

    A friend of mine asked me how I could refrain from eating all that good food! I asked her when the last time it was that she craved a glass of gasoline with her dinner! I told her that the very reason she doesn
