    Aya, As for the Vitamin D subject look for Knitty Kitty on this board she is an expert on Vitamin D. And why we don't think in these terms today. . . anybody who has low Vitamin D levels or issues with Vitamin D levels technically has Ricketts but it usually not diagnosed as such till you to get critically ill levels. this is from your other...

    Aya, GFinDC has given you good advice. Watch your CARBS they ferment and can cause bloating. This can be more pronounced after starting PPIs in some people because you have temporarily lowered your stomach acid which can make things worse for some people. It is called Acid Rebound when people try to stop PPIs and why (at least) for short period...

    Aya, I think your PPIs are triggering your dyspepsia medical term for indigestion etc. Often when our stomach acid get's too low we will have issues with CARBS. They ferment and cause bloating. Here is a couple article/links about it. You need to get off the PPIs if at all possible. Try taking a H2 blocker for two weeks and then...

    This is good research. They may have found the triggering mechanism for what set's off an auto-immune reaction to food allergens (proteins) like gluten and lactose etc. Here is the medical news today article on it because I think they summarize it well. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321624.php These microvilli are like a smoke...

    Becca4130, Being gluten free for a while would cause your blood serology to test negative but many people choose not to finish a gluten challenge because of how bad they feel on gluten. NCGS is a real thing even though most doctors don't recognize it today. See this care2 article that explains what might be happening in your case. Open...

    Becca4130, Cyclinglady is right. Most have those genotypes but they have found other gene types that doesn't always fit that mold. I haven't always known this (and I am not good at gene tests) I having only been diagnosed on blood serology alone. This verywell article explains it well. Open Original Shared Link depending on your...

    Jill1120, I have no medical training but I feel bad no body has answered your question. But I don't think bloating will harm your baby. Though it sure makes you uncomfortable. See this thread it might help you. As for the Corn issue. You might have Pellagra and the doctor's don't recognize it today. I had Celiac and Pellagra...

    Weatherman, For energy try some Magnesium Citrate with meals or Magnesium Glycinate. I hope this is helpful. ***this is not medical advice but Magnesium helped me with my energy levels. 2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,

    Patricia, I had undiagnosed (misdiagnosed) low stomach acid at the time of my celiac diagnosis. I had GERD symptoms previous to my celiac diagnosis but didn't put 2 and 2 together until later. Here is my story. I didn't know the connection at the time. Here is some research from the Scand Journal of Gastroenterology that supports...

    pdm1981, Anything you think you will miss! I don't miss the dougnuts or the bread. A croissant would be nice. Eat a Krystals or White Castle for me. Try your favorite pasta not named Pizza. I miss a good calzone or Lasagna. And maybe your favorite chocolate. I still remember a friend pointing out ferrero rocher hazelnut...

    Chrissy-B and Etal, The link to B-12 that Knitty Kitty provided is a good link. I had high homocysteine levels when my OCD was at it worst. though I was being treated for high homocystiene levels (at the time and may have not put 2 and 2 together). But I didn't notice a great improvement until I took some Zinc. Here is an article link...

    Dwayne, You might have a MTHFR gene mutation that can lead to abnormally high homocyteine levels. Here is an article about it. Also see this journal of Circulation article about it. Open Original Shared Link the journal of circulation says "For MTHFR, as with homocysteine testing, no official guidelines exist as to who should...

    Tina77, Where you by chance also taking Miralax? also known as Polyethylene Glycol. This laxative can have terrible side effects one of them psychotic episodes. Oneloved recently mentioned how her child was having a reaction to Miralax and why I mentioned it. Psychotic episodes (especially rage) are more common in children but if it does...

    Oneloved, I am glad you found out what it was. Here is a nice cbsnews article on the problems with Miralax in children. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/miralax-side-effects-in-kids-should-parents-be-concerned/ You should join the Parents against Miralax petition. As of a year ago according to cbsnews it had 16K+ members. Posterboy,

    Jdsalinas, Ennis_Tx, Beat me to it. Ennis_Tx and I are the Magnesium Warriors on this forum. Dose to tolerance is a common thing for Magnesium Citrate. I actually swapped from Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate powder to a tablet because to be sure I was getting the same amount each time. Usually a rounded up teaspoon was enough...

    Cyclinglady, Trents, EnnisTx, Cyclingldady Trents didn't say you couldn't heal. Trents was wanting a medical agent or supplement that could help a leave some of the pressure of always having to eat gluten free. The problem with Medicines' or even supplements like Gliadinx you can never be sure it digested 100% of the gluten before it reaches...

    Andy316, I tend to be a little aggressive with my supplementation schedule so I might not be the best to ask. but most people will notice a difference in 3 months and 6 months at the outside range. There a two reasons mainly for that and I probably can't explain this all in one post/reply. It takes about 3 months for most people's Villi...

    Andy316, I don't know if all thyroid problem are auto immune or not? they may be ? I am not sure. but sometimes supplementation can help when people are willing to try it. I had the beginning of a thyroid problem 10+ years ago and taking selenium (as first a Kelp supplement then Brazil nuts in my diet) helped my thyroid correct itself. You...

    Andy316, If you think it is a Folic Acid Intolerance read this article about it on Celiac.com ****this is not medical advice but I hope it is helpful. 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy,

    Michelina01, Ditto what everyone else said. Especially taking some magnesium Glycinate or Magnesium Citrate to help with your energy levels. Here a thread that might help you it is about someone else's journey with low stomach acid. also you might try taking some BetaineHCL (powdered stomach acid) when you take your Iron it can help improve...

    Squirmingitch, I only drink Gatorade a few times a year myself usually when I have been sweating all day to replace electrolytes. Otherwise I prefer more natural tea. I only meant if you knew what flavor (AFC#) it was you could avoid that same food coloring in other foods. I have a friend who can only eat organic meats and now I know why...

    Fbmb, Why T1 diabetes is usually considered a "young person's" disease by that I mean congential or the first 5 years of life T2 can often be triggered by stressful events in one's life. Like the case of gestational diabetes. If blood sugars were not elevated in your pregnancy I would say your relatively risk of developing is future diabetes is...

    Fbmb, I think because you caught your celiac disease so early (relatively speaking) eating gluten free mitigates most of the future risk of developing other AI diseases. Celiac.org has a nice article on the relative risk of developing other AI disease when you are an un-diagnosed celiac. https://celiac.org/celiac-disease/understanding-celiac...

    Squirmingitch, If it was not the BVO then the other two ingredients (as I understand it) that many people also react to in Gatorade is Citric Acid and Artificial Food Coloring (AFC). Try some Citrus foods to see if they trigger your DH. Here are a couple good articles on these topics. This one is on AFCs. Red 40 is the most common AFC...

    JST1980, With Celiac's we often develop other food allergens. If she is having or your family members are having hypthyroidism problems you might try getting them off of Soy products. Here is a link to the research on "Unawareness of the Effects of Soy Intake on the Management of Congenital Hypothyroidism" http://pediatrics.aappublications...
