    Troesler, Here is some good links on this topic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3084403/ I think their figure 1 explains it well. Linked here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3084403/figure/F1/ Here is another link/study that shows the association of in/to one too the other. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih...

    Cyclinglady, I was wrong to respond to a condition in which I have had no personal experience with. These studies were for those who were not tolerant to Dapsone and for whom systemic steroids did not effectively work. From this this linked research. . .entitled "Dermatitis herpetiformis effectively treated with heparin, tetracycline and nicotinamide...

    Breezy1, I can't answer your Iodine patch question. Maybe squirmingitch will come on soon and be able to answer it. But if you are having DH problems see this recent thread. If you haven't read it might help you treat it with off label antibiotics. It explains how both Doxycycline and Tetracycline has been effectively used in the treatment...

    Brogrammer, Knitty Kitty and Ennis_Tx are usually right so I am not countering their advice but usually Coconut water helps Diarrhea at least to stop it by restoring an electrolyte balance. If you have started it too fast sometimes we can have a bad reaction to the Candida (yeast infection) that dies off from the coconut water and it can cause...

    Igiveup and Bigdogtimo, Let me first say I did not have your DH experience. But I have had friends with similar dermatitis issues. Adult Rosacea can be treated with a Doxy or Tetracycline round of Antibiotics. Which got me to wondering if there were any studies that used either Doxycycyline or Tetracycline as a first line treatment of...

    Fmbm, I used to have to deal with them. Lysine will help with them and swilling with salt water will help them go away quicker. Here is an exhaustive thread about this topic. I hope this is helpful. But it is not medical advice. As always “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” 2 Timothy 2:7 ...

    Brandi1969, Carbs/Sugars as they break down ferment turning into gases causing your bloating quoting Ennistx verbatim and I agree! You can try going low CARB aka Keto or try taking some BetaineHCL to stoke up your digestive fires. I will provide some links that list simple home tests and one that provides doctor supervised testing. Bloating...

    Martin, I can't ever get everything in one post. Here is a cases study/report on the use of BetaineHCL. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4991651/ Here is the shortened overview (timeline) of Fig. 1 by itself. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4991651/figure/f1-49-53/?report=objectonly Before BetaineHCL...

    Martin, The OAS was just a guess on my part. I thought it was worth mentioning. Following the Hives (and/or DH) issue a little deeper. Low stomach acid has been shown (in older studies) though that does not make any less true or untrue. Just old and new(er) researchers have gone in a different direction (Not necessarily better) direction...

    Martin, I could say the same thing about any of my specialist's. I have prediabetes and treat it with diet and exercise mostly but have found certain Vitamin and Minerals have also helped. I took Chromium lowering my average A1C and the doctor specialist just shrugged it off!!!!!!!!! They were content to let me go on insulin. So far soo...

    Martin, I think you might be confusing the doctors for God. Many on this site often (third world or not) have had to find out/research what the doctor's didn't know about Celiac disease. I am lucky/was lucky enough to not be my doctor's first Celiac/NCGS patient. The horror stories are many . . . .too many to tell. I was in my 3...

    Breezy1, Jherm21 had a similar question(s) about Iron. vvicin02 is right. See this recent thread in another topic about Iron. You might be also low in B-12 too and/or Vitamin D and will want to be tested for these deficiencies. Also try taking 200mg Magnesium Cirate with meals to help with any fatigue issues you might be having from...

    Jherm21, You are not taking an acid reducer by chance are you? PPIs' are especially bad about interfering with our body's ability to naturally absorb nutrients from our food. I ask this because both Iron and B-12 are tied to low stomach acid. Here is a couple news article about this topic when this information came out about PPIs especially...

    JenniferJ, Just a word about digestive enzymes. Here is an excellent thread about it started by Ennis_Tx These should help with your fat absorption. I am glad your gall bladder tested out well. I was trying to be conservative and mention it in case you hadn't thought about it. Pancreatin is a common digestive aide that helps...

    Lynh1, I agree with a lot of what Ennis_Tx said. If you have extensive bloating this (it) can be from your stomach acid being too low already. Here is an article about it. Open Original Shared Link And see this thread about undigested food that talks about some of the same issues but mainly dealing with fats that get...

    JenniferJ, Ennis_Tx and Trents have given you good advice. The HIDA test usually test for gall bladder function. Here is an article that explains your symptom's well from the MD health site.

    Martin, You probably have an Oral Allergy Syndrome or OAS for short. Because you peeled your apple you removed the Pollen on the outside. See this Verywell article on OAS. https://www.verywellhealth.com/melon-allergy-82834 Also see this American College of Allergy link about this topic. https://acaai.org/allergies/types/food...

    Celiacgay, Ennis_tx is good about foods for you to eat that will help you with your nutrition. But if you want some supplement advise and we say this a lot (Ennis_Tx) and I try a B-complex and Magnesium as either Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate with each meal (works for most people) or twice a day if that is not convenient. The muscle...

    troykm, Try taking some Vitamin D for the dry eyes. It is not uncommon for Celiac's to be low in Vitamin D. Open Original Shared Link see this article about Vitamin K and Vitamin D levels being low at the time of a celiac diagnosis. This study is in teens but it is probably higher for adults. quoting "Overall, forty-three...

    Jel008, Where you or are you taking a Statin by chance. These should be taking with C0Q10 to avoid muscle pain. Here is an article that has a good over view of some of the problems associated with taking a stain . .. especially without taking C0q10 to replace the C0q10 it blocks/interfers with in the body. https://bpac.org.nz/BT/2014/August...

    gadamek and hummingbird, I just want to echo what Ennis_tx said. A good B-complex, Magnesium and Vitamin D might (not cure) but it could alleviate many of your symptoms. Gadamek you said you had ringing in your ears it is called Tinnitus and Magnesium has been show to help Tinnitus. Open Original Shared Link Low Vitamin D and B-1...

    Aya, Going low CARB will help you. Most gluten free diets still have a lot of Carbs in them unless you go Keto too! We swap rice or corn etc. for Wheat (gluten etc) or one carb for another carb often. Carbs ferment and that produces excess gas and bloating and when combined with fats causes delayed stomach emptying --- a lethal combination...

    Aya, I didn't get to answer this question last night. See this thread about how IDA can be linked to low stomach acid. I didn't know this at the time but Achloryhdria (no stomach acid) has been linked (established) as an Independent cause of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Open Original Shared Link It (low or no stomach acid) also...

    Fbmb, To summarize your OP. Cyclinglady has given you a good link. For those who might not have time to read the whole link from the glutenfree dietitian. "Alpha-tocopherol is added to foods, supplements, and personal care items as natural tocopherol and synthetic tocopherol. You can tell whether a food/supplement contains synthetic or natural...

    Fmbm, Most fortified foods contain the Alpha form of Vitamin E. It (E) and Vitamin A used to be recommended for Lung Cancers but when the Alpha form of E showed no benefit upon a follow up study Vitamin E has fallen out of favor. Try a whole food source when possible. Sunflower and Sesame seeds and raw Almonds are all good sources of Vitamin...
