    https://www.healthline.com/health/fructose-malabsorption#causes This article is describing two conditions. Hereditary fructose intolerance is "most often detected when a baby starts consuming baby food or formula." Hereditary fructose intolerance: "A more serious issue and completely unrelated condition is hereditary fructose intolerance...

    selectivefocus, There is iodine in "just milk". This could be causing your daughter's DH to flair. I'd suggest no dairy at all. Greens are a better source of calcium. Check your salt, too. Pink Himalayan salt has less iodine than sea salt. DH is pressure sensitive. DH will occur anywhere there is pressure. We rest on our elbows, clothes...

    jaebowie, It can be a sign of Celiac or something else. We don't know all the details about you. You would do well to have a complete panel blood test for Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disease. Your body recognizes gluten as a harmful invader and launches an attack against it the same as if you had an invading bacteria. Unfortunately...

    Ask your doctor about fructose intolerance. Here's an article that explains it..... https://www.healthline.com/health/fructose-malabsorption Fructose intolerance can occur with Celiac. Ask your doctor to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Taking a B-Complex vitamin supplement can be helpful, too. Hope this helps!

    sc'Que?, You're very welcome. I'm glad to share this knowledge so we all can live our best lives despite Celiac Disease. Knitty Kitty

    sc'Que?, No, the body doesn't flood with tryptophan in response to histamine. Histamine is cleared from the body with B12, vitamin C, vitamin B6, tryptophan, magnesium, and Thiamine. Thiamine is essential in making energy for the body out of carbohydrates (and proteins and fats). Thiamine is essential for brain function, especially lower...

    Hair loss is a symptom of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency.

    Histamine release is part of the immune response when exposed to gluten. High histamine levels are associated with "brain fog" and various degrees and kinds of mental illness. High histamine levels are found in schizophrenics, bipolar, ADHD, and Parkinson's disease. High histamine levels disrupt the normal flow of neurotransmitters in the brain. Vitamin...

    Luna, Have you had a DNA test to see if you have any of the genes for Celiac? If you've got Celiac genes, and you improve on a gluten free diet like RMJ said, plus have such high blood test results, you and your doctors may want to accept all that as a Celiac diagnosis. Damage to the small intestine is on a sliding scale. The longer you've been...

    Anonyous Cda, If you want to increase energy for your mind, try Lipothiamine. It's a form of thiamine that will cross the blood brain barrier. It's available on Amazon.com.

    Anonyous Cda, Niacin can cause flushing. It's a common reaction when people start taking niacin. Niacin flush is harmless, it's acting as a vasodilator, opening up all those little capillaries in the skin. The flushing usually lessens within an hour. Flushing frequently occurs worse in people who are low in niacin. As your body starts replenishing...

    KatieM, Your asthma, the pins and needles feeling, fatigue and stomach issues can all be indicative of Type Two Diabetes and Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency and Celiac Disease. Low Thiamine symptoms include "sailor's asthma," fatigue, neuropathy (pins and needles), and gastrointestinal symptoms (gastrointestinal beriberi). You can have low...

    Jaebowie, You are not technically asymptomatic and you have a first degree relative with a diagnosis of Celiac Disease which makes you prime candidate for Celiac testing. Celiac Disease is genetic. All first degree relatives (mum, dad, siblings, children) of a person diagnosed with Celiac Disease should be tested. Basic doctor knowledge...
  15. knitty kitty
    Jaebowie, Yes, these symptoms and ones mentioned in your other posts do sound like Celiac Disease. There are 300 symptoms of Celiac Disease. We aren't doctors and can't diagnose, but many of these symptoms are familiar to us here because we've had them ourselves. Ulcers and gastritis could be reasons for the pain, as trents said. It could also...

    Yes, it is very relevant for people who are already avoiding gluten. Ttg Igg is a reliable test for Celiac. You should follow up with a GI doctor as your personal physician suggested. An endoscopy with the GI doctor can give insight into what's going on. Also request testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Keep us posted on your...

    Mwutke, A gluten free diet may result in vitamin deficiencies. Being low in Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Niacin (Vitamin B3), and Cobalamine (Vitamin B12) can manifest as peripheral neuropathy. Alcohol, gluten free or not, can interfere with absorption of thiamine and niacin resulting in neuropathy. Healthy fats, omega 3's like olive...

    Aaron, Cycling Lady is correct that sugar is addictive. You like it and your intestinal bacteria like it. Intestinal bacteria can communicate with your brain. So you can get sugar/carbohydrate cravings from them. "Feed me, Seymour!" The AIP diet will help starve out these "bad" bacteria and allow beneficial bacteria to flourish. Consider...

    Don't know if this article will help, but thought I'd share... "Identification of Non-HLA Genes Associated with Celiac Disease and Country-Specific Differences in a Large, International Pediatric Cohort" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4807782/#!po=19.5652 It rather reads like alphabet soup! 😸

    Cycling Lady, Emailing the Gluten Free Watchdog is a great idea! I just wanted to point out that the last link I posted is a pdf download to a document dated 2014 that states that transglutaminase is a processing aid and doesn't have to be listed on the ingredients list. It's on the third page half way down the page. I'm not techno savvy...

    I've Googled until my eyes hurt, and no, I could not find a list of food manufacturers that use microbial transglutaminase. I have found lots of references to the wide spread use of mTg in the food industry. I've found references to the kinds of products in which mTg is used. I've found companies that make and sell the stuff. Transglutaminase...
  22. knitty kitty
    Microbial transglutaminase has been banned in Europe since 2010 because of health concerns. My choice is to avoid it. Always.

    Misslee, Welcome to the forum! I understand about doctors being dismissive of symptoms. I went undiagnosed for years and suffered severe vitamin deficiencies because my doctors did not take me seriously either. I'm curious about your breaking out in acne when you eat gluten. I'm wondering if this could be Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH),...
