  1. Another just like me!!! Yes, of course vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause insomnia, along with many issues. I have been taking Vit D for nearly 1 yr now, I do finally have my levels up to a more doable level, yet, the insomnia didn't go until my dairy was gone. Low levels of iron can cause insomnia too, as can low levels of Vit B12.
  2. Believe it or not, the junk food is probably part of the problem. You don't need them for the calories, you want them, there is a difference. You like them, and sometimes we justify eating something like this by saying we need it. You can eat fresh fruit, banana's and grapes can add calories, much better calories than junk food. Junk food is empty calories...
  3. What was your B12 level...the normal range is 200-1000...anything below 500 is too low, even if the doctor didn't tell you it is. Yes, it could be neuropathy. Neuropathy can be text book, or it can be random. We all have different symptoms, and the same symptoms. Tingly, hot spots, cold spots, feelings of bugs crawling on your leg, numbness, burning...
  4. We are all individuals, and can't judge how quickly we will feel better by someone else. Feeling much better in one week is great. The tireness may not pass until you build up your vitamin loss caused by the gluten. My tireness didn't go away, several years later I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and now have a CPAP machine to sleep with every night. ...
  5. Don't get me wrong, I have never gotten "completely" better. I have just recently realized how I was being glutened, and by "gluten free" labeled foods. I have dealt with health issues for years, at least 30 now. I have terrible headaches all the time, headaches that most people would not even get out of bed with, and I still go to work. I'm just...
  6. Its a great link too. He makes it all so much easier to understand. I wish he was here on the east coast.
  7. Even with crohn's, if you are in a remission, there is no reason you can't serve. Celiac is not a debilitating disease as long as you go gluten free like you are suppose too. I am not celiac, but I am gluten intolerant, and was every bit as sick as anyone whith celiac or gluten intolerance...I stay away from gluten, I work full time, and never miss work...
  8. There is no scientific test for gluten intolerance, not yet. I'm hoping one day they figure this out. Testing for celiac, is not testing for gluten intolerance. For now, testing for gluten intolerance is a self testing procedure. If you eliminate gluten from your diet, and you begin feeling better, then you should stay away from gluten.
  9. Oh yeah, this is true of doctors too. Nothing is better than personal experience, and often times they forget that we are not all text book examples. Doctors are getting better at thinking about gluten as the problem, but they still have a long ways to go. They need to listen to the patient, listen to what they are saying. Same thing for the dieticians...
  10. Your doctor is wrong, very wrong. As momyxyz says, non celiac gluten intolerance is as damaging, well, actually more damaging to the body than celiac is. Celiac is just one autoimmune condition that gluten intolerance can cause, but there are many other autoimmune diseases caused by gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance causes autoimmune diseases such...
  11. You tell them thank you, which one is your avatar, sure is cute. Hope your birthday was good too. Thanks to everyone.
  12. Hope you had a good day--Happy Birthday.
  13. I honestly do not think anyone has figured that out. If you are gluten intolerant, any gluten is too much gluten. Anything made with flour..breads, pasta, crackers, cookies, cakes...all has too much gluten. As far as that goes, "gluten free" labeled foods have too much gluten for lots of gluten intolerant people. The US doesn't actually have a standard...
  14. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  15. Not everyone heals at the same pace, not everyone heals, even Dr. Green tells us that...they do not know why some do, and some don't. I do have very good control over my foods, because I do not eat "gluten free" labeled foods, nore nearly anything processed. I do react to 5ppm. and if you don't, thats wonderful for you. Yet, don't try to tell those of...
