    Have you looked into oxalates? I don't know much about their connection to Seborrheic Dermatitis but google gave some hits. The increased oxalates from your recent addition of almond butter ( very high oxalate content ) might explain your worsening symptoms. Good luck.

    I think you are right to consider K2 supplementation. If you haven't already found it, the Weston Price foundation has some good articles on K2 ( the x-factor ). I cannot personally attest to its ability to help with bone density, but out of all the vitamins I take, K2 is one of the few that I can say with confidence has a positive and real effect. Since...

    What was your B12 level?. Sometimes what a doctor thinks is normal is extremely low.

    Does This Sound Like Celiac Symptoms? To me, it sounds like the symptoms of B12 deficiency. Tingling in fingers, dizziness, tight muscles, and even gerd symptoms can be laid at the door of B12 deficiency. Of course, B12 deficiency could be the result of celiac disease, but if I were you I would get my B12 levels tested and/or start supplementing immediately...

    ARCHIVED Accutane?

    ynot replied to kareng's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I took accutane in my late teens. All I can say is my health started going downhill after the treatment. I'm not sure if there is any connection, but I do regret my decision to take it. Knowing what I know now, the first thing I would do is get all my vitamin levels checked and supplement where necessary. Don't take the doctor's word that everything is...

    Hi maybe_maybenot, It is hard to say if you have a gluten problem, but you already know you have a B12 ( and D ) problem. A B12 deficiency can cause all the symptoms you've listed. Standard B-complex and multivitamins will not do much to fix the situation. I use Enzymatic Therapy B12 Infusion, which is a sublingual methycobalamin lozenge. Used properly...

    Hi in the middle, It's been a while since I've posted here, but I wanted to second the suggestion to consider vitamin b12. It sounds like you have a decent amount of nerve damage, which in many cases is a result of vitamin deficiencies. I went gluten free nearly three years ago and saw about a 50% improvement in my symptoms. Over the last 6 months...

    Wow! This is exactly the behavior of my blood glucose when I made a number of measurements a year or so ago. Since I couldn't find any information on this type of profile, the only thing I thought to do was stop eating fast acting carbs. It worked for the most part. But, I still have periods ( weeks at a time ) where I just feel extra fatigued, and I can...

    I know this is an old thread, but I'd like to chime in. I've been eating Lundberg flavored rice chips for the past two weeks, and have felt absolutely drained. Exhausted. Stools have not been stellar either. Gave them up a couple days ago and feel back to my old self again. If this is a gluten reaction, it would be the first one I've noticed ( I've never...

    Exactly what I was planning. I'll let you know. That's an interesting thought. I often don't eat breakfast, although I've been trying to. I guess it's a combination of not being that hungry and of liking the feeling of a flat empty stomach. Ok, that's another experiment I'll have to run.

    So, today I had a salad of greens, chicken, sardines, and olive oil only. Stomach aches are back. I imagine it is the roughage. I don't understand though. Why now? Thanks again and I'll update the thread if I learn something new.

    To clarify the vinegar is "White Balsamic Vinegar" from Trader Joe's. The two listed ingredients are white wine vinegar and concentrated grape must. Hmmm....it doesn't seem to be listed on Trader Joe's no gluten list. Salad scissors! Good idea.

    Thanks for all the ideas everybody. I really hope it's not a CC issue because that would mean I've got bring a whole new level of careful to this diet. Everybody I know already rolls their eyes at me. So, simply because it would be so inconvenient, I'm going to ignore the CC possibility until everything else is ruled out. ( I do use an old cutting board...

    I have been gluten free nearly 5 months now. I never had the constant GI pain many do, but in the past two weeks I've had a few bad days. Stomach pain, bloating, a little gas and D. Twice, these episodes occurred within an hour of eating a salad. I'm convinced something in the salad is the problem since it was the first thing I ate for the day. Here are the...

    I've been suspicious of corn for a couple months too. The symptoms I get are vague. Looser stools. My face feeling a little swollen. A little larger stomach. Mentally, a bit more irritable. It just seems like such a daunting challenge to cut corn out. It would be easy enough to cut out simple corn, but its derivatives are hiding everywhere. For example...

    I had very similar symptoms. In particular, the drowsiness always followed lunch. I ended up falling asleep at the desk quite often. I believe this was a blood sugar issue, but I don't really know. However, this symptom disappeared after going gluten-free. For me, I think it's really hard to tell what's going on exactly when I cut things out for short...

    Hi everyone, Fortunately, I don't have the rash now. Unfortunately, I have to rely on my memory. It was about two years ago that a rash on my left lower back first showed up. The area effected was about the size of a fist. It started out as a lot of small itchy bumps without any discoloration. Of course, I made it red by scratching it ( my skin loves...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into some B12 supplements. On a related note, 15 or so years ago I followed a vegan diet. That lasted about a year. I know B12 must often be supplemented, but I never worried about it. I guess I just ate a lot of bread and tofu. Anyway, this is when I had my first ( of two ) really severe depressive episode. Not fun...

    Hi everyone, I've been lurking since March 2010. I think I've read just about every post on the forum and I'm grateful for all the information that has been posted. So I guess it's my turn to contribute as best I can. I'll try to keep it short. First, I have no diagnosis. I have not taken any tests. And I don't plan to. There were two symptoms that...
