    B100 is a mix of all of the b vitamins. The "100" refers to the amount (milligrams or micrograms depending on the vitamin) of each of the components. Open Original Shared Link

    Seborrheic dermatitis??? Mine was greatly reduced last year(~90% better) after 20 years. My best guess is that the improvement lines up with taking a B100 complex daily. I had seen some improvement using medicated shampoos or rinsing my scalp with salt water. I apologize if we are talking about two different conditions.

    My heart rate is normally 62 beats per minute, but drops to 40/42 beats per minute (I think) as a symptom of a reaction. Has anyone experienced a significantly lowered heart rate as a symptom?

    I have no help on the ingredients you are looking for. However, I would say that it is best to avoid companies that are not open with potential allergens. The liberal use of soy milk and the lack of allergen information (for their drinks) online keeps me out of Starbucks. Their main Canadian competitor is much more open about potential allergens, and...

    I would say you are on the right track here. Tracking meals or snacks from the night before may show something. When I initially went soy free, I was just avoiding the things that would give me an (near) immediate reaction (soy sauce, protein, etc.). I felt much better, but I was having delayed (minor) reactions on the way to work in the AM. Since eliminating...

    If it is nerve damage from malabsorbtion, it will resolve itself with supplementation as long as the damage isn't too extensive. Ravenwoodglass mentions the numbness / tingling in the extremeties that comes with low B12. This is true and typical, however, I can tell you from personal experience that the nerve damage caused by malabsorbtion is not limited...

    I take it from your high B12 and folate that you are supplementing. Is this correct? If so, I assume you were low at one point. If you were, could this possibly be nerve damage from low B12 and / or folate?

    Interesting. I had a similar experience. I had multiple signs (visible to my doctor) of inflammation, yet my numbers were "the best #s I have ever seen" according to my Dr. She was perplexed, but did not investigate further.

    Ice on the lower back helped with the pain for me (sciatica and general mid / lower back pain). Once I was able to, I started to slowly ramp up an excercise / stretching program. In January, I will be 2 years back-pain free. Good luck.

    Were mono / diglycerides in the ingredient list of your ice cream?

    I did not state that MSG always contains soy. However, MSG could possibly be a source of soy. As a celiac, you know well enough that "usually manufactured" just isn't good enough.

    You mentioned that you ate ice cream about a month ago. Which brand / flavor was it? In your signature you mention that you are attempting to avoid MSG. If you were completely soy-free, MSG consumption would not be an option.

    Strawberry, I think eliminating nuts is wise. Could you post your "banned ingredients" list for soya? I see a couple of items in your post that seem to indicate that your list of soya-containing ingredients is not complete. Getting your hernia fixed sounds like a great idea as well.

    Post a couple of days of what you have eaten if you can (today and yesterday), and please provide more details on your excercise (how far are you swimming, running, walking, etc.). Perhaps someone can help explain. What is your belly measurement when not bloated? Immodium chewables lessen the bloating for me. Celiac + a 1400 calorie diet + excercise...

    I got cramps just reading the title of your post.

    A lot of the fruits (peaches, pears, etc.) you are eating are high in sorbitol. I have read that a high percentage of the general population (and even higher percentage of celiac population) are intolerant of sorbitol. Tree nuts (ie. almonds) are also something to keep an eye on. Just some food for thought as you track your diet and symptoms.

    I would say that at 6 weeks gluten-free, that's not enough time to start experimenting with fancy foods like chocolate chip cookies. Start again and keep to the basics (vegetables, unseasoned meat, rice, fruit if you can). Fun? No. The right thing to do? I think so. Talk to your doctor about the need to supplement with vitamins. If you have celiac...

    Gluten or not, can't even the strongest intestinal tracts expect this kind of reaction after visiting the colonel?

    A couple of observations... 1. You do not include fish or dairy in food breakdown which may explain your Vit D need 2. As Mushroom mentioned, being within the ok range on the blood tests may be misleading. I was on the low level for B12 and responded very well to supplementation. To answer your original question... I went on a soy free...
