Wow that is low! Glad he gave you a shot. Take care. Enjoy some sunshine

Glad to hear you all have been tested. I went through Direct Labs for $69 (those of you who are intrested plus you can get 10% off if you search Direct Labs coupon). My understanding is that many people are deficient in vitamin D and it plays an important role in preventing cancers, MS, autoimmune, and osteoprosis. I think those of you who have celiac should...

I do not have celiac but I recently got my vitamin D tested through Direct labs and was 21.9. 1) How low was your vitamin D when it was tested? 2) How much vitamin D do you take? 3) How long did it take for your vitamin D to go up after supplementing?

I have not tried to cut out fructans, but I think that would be a great idea as I was recently doing some reading on that. Thanks for the insight! I appreciate your thoughts.

Thank you for your responses. Skylark, I was off dairy and soy (strict) for 6 months while I was nursing my daughter as she had MSPI and then again 2 years later for another 6 months while I was nursing my son. I have to say that while I was on the strict dairy/soy free diet that I didn't see an improvement as well. I have also tried cutting out fructose...

How is leaky gut diagnosed? Is it through symptoms only?

Just been a couple of days off of gluten, but so far I my GI symptoms have been getting worse. Did anyone feel worse before feeling better?

Thank you for your responses. It is a good idea to keep a good journal, especially every couple weeks to really monitor.

A bit of information for me: Brother has confirmed celiac with biopsy, blood work..etc "IBS" for 10+ years Psoriasis Anxiety and depression Positive Enterolab IgA test Negative celiac panel last year Based on all the conflicting information with Enterolab, I am reluctant to permanently go gluten free, but I want to try a gluten-free diet. ...

Is there any other testing for gluten sensitivity other than Enterolab?. My total IgA and TTG were negative last year and my IgA through Enterolab was positive so I know that I need to go off gluten, but I wish I had a little more evidence than a just Enterolab before I get off of gluten totally. The lady at Enterolab told me that it can take 10-12 years...

How do you know before I gluten-free diet is working?

Hi everyone I am new here. I am 28 years old and I have had "IBS" for 10 years+. I have a brother with celiac.
