    I hope you are feeling better. I experienced diarrhea for a long time. It resulted in nutritional deficiencies. My doctors overlooked simple vitamin deficiencies in favor of writing numerous, expensive prescriptions that never improved the symptoms. Deficiencies in certain vitamins, like Vitamin D, B12, thiamine and niacin, will actually cause diarrhea...

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4809873/ Here's an article about glyphosates that explains it well.

    Here's a helpful site, but it's not grain free... https://www.histamineintolerance.org.uk/about/the-food-diary/the-food-list/ Yes, Tash, I did keep a food journal. I had lists of low histamine foods that I would use to make menus and shopping lists. I ate meat (grass fed beef, lamb) and fresh veggies. (Chicken and fish bother me still.) I did...

    Get your vitamin B12 checked asap! Vitamin B12 (cobalamine) deficiency can cause mental symptoms exactly like you're describing. I've been deficient in B12 and have experienced and understand dissociation. Some people can be deficient in B12 and not have any mental or emotional problems. A lucky few have the mental changes long before anemia shows...

    Hi, Tash. Sorry you're not feeling well. I empathize with being scared to eat anything. I remember what that's like. You're not the only one going through this. Posterboy is on the right track with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and this link is very helpful. Lots of good reading. http://www.thepatientceliac.com/2014/01/04/mast-cell-activation...

    You may want to continue eating gluten and have an endoscopy done to check for flattened villi in the intestines which is one sign of Celiac Disease, and to rule out other inflammatory bowel diseases. Even though the blood tests came back negative, your other symptoms (Barrett's esophagus, vitiligo, hypothyroidism) often occur with celiac disease. Not everyone...

    Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Celiacs are often low in zinc. Zinc competes with copper in the body. You might want to get your zinc level checked, too. Here's studies on IUD's and how they effect zinc and copper levels. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...

    Perhaps the bruising is caused by Vitamin C deficiency, aka scurvy. Here's an article that references a man with malabsorption problems due to alcoholism. Celiacs can get scurvy, too. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2517958/ When I was low in vitamin C, I'd get two round bruises, one on each thigh, that didn't match door knobs or...

    Have you been checked for Lyme Disease? Having a reaction of hives after eating meat is connected to Lyme Disease. See this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3614139/ Here's another article about skin problems associated with Celiac Disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3369470/#!po=51.5000 Hope this...

    Sympathy and explanations...... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4199287/ This article explains how certain vitamin deficiencies can cause tremors, shaking, tics, etc. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. I had vitamin deficiencies. I had episodes like what you've described with the shaking...

    Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include dizziness, anemia, chest tightness, tingling, and depression. You may want to have your doctor check to see if you have any nutritional deficiencies. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Products containing wheat are required to have vitamins and minerals added back to replace...

    Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Here's an article that explains how vitamin deficiencies might be the cause of your finger problems. https://www.livestrong.com/article/511834-vitamin-deficiency-with-muscle-twitches/ I found I felt much better after going on the AutoImmune...

    I found this article helpful... https://www.livestrong.com/article/410341-vitamin-b-mouth-sores/ There are a few other B vitamins that if deficient can cause mouth sores. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1941656 The eight B vitamins work together. Supplementing just one doesn't always work because the other B vitamins are needed...

    I found this article that connects vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies to HELLP. Celiacs often suffer from malabsorption which results in malnutrition and vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Open Original Shared Link Hope this helps.

    Apparently, yes.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6165199 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941070/ Not a substitution for professional medical advice.

    Congratulations on the new baby! Sorry you're not feeling well. Pregnancy can be very hard on the mother's body, sometimes leaving the mom depleted of certain vitamins and minerals like B12, calcium and iron. Here are a couple of articles that explain vitamin deficiencies after pregnancy. http://www.worldofmoms.com/articles/tackle...

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4389040/ One more on NCGS, celiac disease, and mood disorders. There are lots of articles out there that connect wheat and dairy allergies to mental changes. Have you done any tests for allergies? I believe subclinical vitamin deficiencies may still be present. The RDA of certain vitamins are...

    Get your vitamin D level checked! Here's a study that found a link between low vitamin D and recurring UTI's in older men. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5405662/ If you are found to be low in vitamin D, be sure to take the D3 type. D2 is the synthetic form often prescribed by doctors. D3 is available over the counter. ...

    Again, always check the date. This is an old thread. You can start your own new thread. I have some articles that you might find interesting and helpful. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3271502/ Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause OCD. And strange behavior https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3067987/ And...

    A zinc deficiency can make things taste funny. Zinc is another mineral Celiacs might be lacking.

    Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can help you fall asleep. Tryptophan is an amino acid that can help you sleep. The body can turn tryptophan into vitamin B3 (niacin) which helps heal the intestines. Are you taking a B complex vitamin or a multivitamin in addition to the shots??? There are eight B vitamins that all work together. B12 (cobalamine) needs folate...

    Sign language for babies might allow you and your son to communicate better. Babies taught sign language are less fussy and not delayed in learning to talk. Keep a food journal for your son, with notations for bowel movements, bloating and behavior changes. Food journals help in pinpointing problematic food and progression of symptoms. Also a handy...

    It's a Sulfur sensitivity. Those food dyes all contain sulfur. Toothpaste frequently contains sulfur as sodium laurel sulfate (SLS). http://www.thepatientceliac.com/tag/celiac-disease-and-sulfite-intolerance/ New Celiacs are often low in certain vitamins and minerals due to malabsorption. The mineral molybdenum and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are...

    Same thing goes if you've had a cold sore, dental work, mouth sores, a cold or the flu! Also consider a tooth paste without sodium lauryl sulfates. https://www.livestrong.com/article/538086-sodium-laureth-sulfate-allergy/

    If you've been supplementing with B12 for the past week and got your B12 levels tested just recently, the test may not be accurate. One shouldn't supplement two to four weeks prior to testing. B12 is just one of a group of eight B vitamins. They all work together. They need each other in a sort of assembly line fashion. B12 needs folate(B9) to work...
