    If you have that much D, you likely also have vitamin deficiencies, and if they are related to the UC, you could be caught in a vicious cycle. But I'd get tested for them anyway, figure out what you're up against. And finding out if you have vitamin deficiencies could be vital to overcoming any organ-function deficiencies, pancreatic or another. Before...

    Just read this in the publications section. Talks about how two different genes cause two different reactions (on a molecular level). Open Original Shared Link I also read something a long time ago about how some people who don't have the genetic predisposition could have problems triggered by other big events in their life, such as a major illness, surgery...

    I think that you are going to have milestones for things such as completing the initial recovery phase, getting really good at avoiding cross contamination, no longer feeling deprived, being able to shop for groceries without even noticing that your shopping card is completely different than it used to be.

If they come back negative, try a gluten-free diet on your own anyway in case she has non-celiac gluten intolerance. 3. If you're still concerned about other food allergies/intolerances, look up rotation diet for a way to pair reactions with specific foods that is easier...

    Apples and oranges are both fruits that are high in fructose. Many people are fructose intolerant which means that the small intestine is unable to digest all of the fructose before it hits the large intestine where it can cause symptoms as minor as cramping, all the way up to full-on diarrhea. Not just a sugar thing, but the type of sugar. I'd recommend...

    Just wondering if anyone out there has any familiarity with the vitamin deficiencies affecting gluconeogenesis and blood sugar levels. I ask because I have a hypothesis that those who are gluten-free may be more likely to suffer from specific vitamin deficiencies that can interfere with the body's ability to convert food to energy (gluconeogenesis) and...
