ARCHIVED High cholesterol/statins
Posterboy replied to icelandgirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Icelandgirl, Everybody has offered you good advice. Niacin not niacinamide can help cholesterol levels. Don't let them put you on statin's. they have horrible side effects. here is dr. mercola article about one of their many horrible side effects.

Amyhauchtest, Have you thought about/researched whether you might have low stomach acid. Iron is known to be a tough nutrient to absorb. here is a link about how low levels of gastric stomach acid can lead to low iron levels. Open Original Shared Link they note quoting " . . . . (iron) absorption falls only when (stomach) acid...

BarryC, And as Victoria1234 said posting for new people who might read this thread. ( I did not realize the OP asked this several years ago now until I saw Victoria1234 recent activity) The role Magnesium plays in healthy sleepy patterns have been overlooked my many modern clinicians today. George eby is the person I have seen who has...

Posterboy replied to sddave's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
sddave, jmg has given you good advice. B-vitamins can help with any stress you have been under. also have thought about taking some BetaineHCL. When our stomach acid is low it is not uncommon to have GI problems. doctor's forget timeline. If you have GI problems (heartburn etc.) when eating food then you stomach acid is already too... -
molly1989, While stress is common before a celiac disease I would suspect (without other triggers) that these symptom's came on a little quick for my liking. What you are describing sounds very much like you picked up a mosquito born virus. Chikungunya or Chik-V as it is often shortened too has very intense arthritis described as one of it...

Posterboy replied to ssb85's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
ssb85 desperately needed success stories, (don't we all) I realize the OP may not be following this thread now but in the hope it might help others that read this thread that ssb5 or other pregnant ladies or those looking to get pregnant might want to have their thyroids checked. a poor performing thyroid can lead to a miscarriage.

Posterboy replied to Victoria1234's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Victoria1234, I had the same questions when I started eating gluten free myself. I was terrified of "Modified Food Starch" for the longest time. Until I started digging into the FDA "food code". there is such a thing. At least in the US Modified Starch is Corn based unless it has a adjective modifying it like "tapioca starch" etc. This... -

Posterboy replied to sddave's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Whitepaw, I would just add a couple threads to this conversation. This thread talks about some of the issues people have had on this board with stomach acid and what they found that helped them. And it is a fairly current (this month) thread that might benefit you to read it. And this older article first reported on celiac.com over three... -
victoria1234, I think you said in a previous post you were only taking it (Magnesium) at a 100mg. This is not enough to help with the big C. Around 300mg Magnesium Citrate begins to flush people. When I used the Natural Calm powder form I found I often exceeded this amount when my teaspoon was rounded up. Or if I took 2 - 200mg tablets...

Non-stop Itching / Skin Crawling, No Rash
Posterboy replied to Oneloved's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Oneloved, I like Knitty Kitty study a lot about nutrition and find there is often a "vitamin/mineral" for that??? Sometimes not right, but often there is and the doctor's don't study nutrition enough to know the difference. But many times there are and we just don't know which one(s) to take. Believe me I know because I have tried most (at... -
Pegleg84, Here is a good thread about the benefits of Magnesium and some issues people have with taking it. Notice with smaller doses at little as 100mg or 150mg (the size of nature mades Citrate Ligquidgels) Victoria1234 felt better even taken small doses of it. The RDA is 400 mg best taken in divided doses (with each meal). Though as Ennix...

Posterboy replied to MayonnaisePlease's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
MayonnaisePlease, Ennis_Tx has given you good advice. (This is about your unusually smelly breath) aka "Dragon Breath". I know I used to have it. I would only add this article from the livestrong website about how a B-complex might help bad breath. http://www.livestrong.com/article/545758-does-vitamin-b-complex-cause-bad-breath/ And... -

LilyR, jmg has given you good resources/links. I used to have constant issues with ear infections that went away when I went gluten free. And recurrent bronchitis they I never have now. NCGS can cause low grade inflammation that you don't realize at the time . .. till you stop eating gluten. That said have you been checked for a UTI...

Victoria1234, Dreaming is a sign the Magnesium is working. I went probably 10 years without remembering a dream and within the first week of taking Magnesium. I now dream regularly. posterboy,

Darla1508, Have you tried a B-Complex. Like say a B-50 or B-100. Try taking it with each meal for two or three months to see if this helps. B-Vitamins are known to help Celiac's. https://www.celiac.com/articles/21783/1/B-Vitamins-Beneficial-for-Celiacs-on-Gluten-Free-Diet/Page1.html Or had your Iron levels checked? See this...

Raelynne, I remember someone else talking about food dyes on this board and having and a poor GI experience . . it is worth checking/experimenting with the m&ms and see if you have the same reaction again. Some people do react (have been known to reach to food dyes in m&ms). Here is a google search from heathline about food dyes in... -

Posterboy replied to EmilyLMT's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
EmilyLMT, I do a lot of nutrition research and the key is finding something that works for someone else . . then it usually works for others too! I had a friend who used to have the same problems you mentioned. Antibiotics typically is the knee jerk response. But look up D-Mannose. It is a simple sugar. It is the active ingredient... -
ARCHIVED Angular Cheilitis
Posterboy replied to JaneWhoLovesRain's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Janewholovesrain, Have you tried B-2 aka Riboflavin. Taking B-2 worked for me. Most B-Vitamins need to be taking 2 to 3 times daily for best effect. You did not say how often you were taking your B-complex. Taken with each meal of a good B-complex mix of say a B-50 or B-100 should help your Angular Cheilits in two to three months... -
Plumbago, Invest in some Lysine an amino acid. It can be used prophylactically to keep sores at bay. Taking it in high doses say 1,000mg two or three times daily can help them heal quickly. Here is an old thread about this topic. There are many other threads that talk about this. Here is a newer thread about the same topic that...

Posterboy replied to pavlovcat's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
cycylinglady and pavlovcat, I wasn't trying to alarm just make pavlovcat aware of a disease that might also explain these "set of symptom's" and if she had already a formal Rynaud's diagnosis then it could be helpful for her to know that a differential diagnosis of this conditon/disease should include a 2nd look at Carcinoid syndrome.
