    Sorry your dad is so sick. My heart goes out to you both. I believe the problem is malnutrition. Sometimes Celiacs have trouble absorbing all the nutrients that they need from a gluten free diet. As people age, intestinal absorption decreases, too. B12 deficiency will cause low blood pressure and headaches. Vitamin D deficiency is linked to...

    "I was experiencing a lot of chest pains and heart palpitations. I read up more on vitamin D3. I found out that those are symptoms of too much D3. I was doing 5,000 IU since my diagnosis back in October 2016. I stopped taking that about two weeks ago and those symptoms cleared up." Were you taking Calcium supplements while taking Vitamin D? Calcium...

    Hi. Back pain is often associated with low vitamin D levels. And crampy, tight muscles are associated with deficiencies in calcium and magnesium. Vitamin K and B12 are needed for strong bone building. All of these vitamins and minerals are often deficient in Celiacs because of malabsorption of nutrients. Hope these articles can help. https:...

    Has any one has tried the probiotic mentioned in this article? https://www.celiac.com/articles/24595/1/Bifidobacterium-infantis-NLS-Super-Strain-Reduces-a-Defensin-5-in-Active-Celiac-Disease-Patients/Page1.html Natron Life Start is available on Amazon.com. I am dissatisfied with my current probiotic. I suspect it may be one of those that...

    I believe Cycling Lady has hit the bull's eye. Hypoparathyroidism can be caused by excessive caffeine consumption. That Zip Fizz contains Guarana. Guarana contains high levels of caffeine. Plus you're drinking coffee again. High doses of caffeine cause the parathyroid to secrete less of its hormone. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC...

    It might be Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. MCAS is when your defensive cells go overboard and react to every little thing. I react to many medications because of MCAS. https://www.jillcarnahan.com/2016/10/31/mast-cell-activation-syndrome-mcas-when-histamine-goes-haywire/ And it might be vitamin deficiencies. Low vitamin D can cause anxiety, as...

    Demylination diseases and Reynaud's syndrome are often related to low vitamin D, low omega 3 and omega 6 fats, and B12 deficiency. Celiacs often have problems absorbing healthy fats and fatty vitamins, and often have low B12. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3896619/ The section called "Demyelination/remyelination and nutrients"...

    Has your daughter been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Celiac Disease damages the intestines so that essential nutrients aren't absorbed. Hot flashes and night sweats may be caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Slow growth, amenorrhea (no period) and constipation can...

    Jm34, How are you? We have been concerned about you and your progress. Has your health improved? Did you and your doctors discover what was wrong? We would love to hear from you. Hope you are feeling much better. Best regards, Knitty Kitty

    I think maybe this one is who you were thinking of. You may be right about the histamine issues.
  11. knitty kitty
    I disagree. Vitamin D supplements do not cause kidney stones. Look here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23739765 "Short-term nutritional vitamin D repletion in stone formers with vitamin D deficiency also does not appear to increase urinary calcium excretion." In plain English, taking vitamin D when it is low does not increase the calcium...

    Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Has your doctor checked you for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Many Celiacs develop deficiencies in Vitamin D and the B vitamins, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Even on a gluten free diet, vitamin deficiencies can occur. Trying the low histamine diet may help,...

    Here's an article that might help explain the connection between wheat and anxiety. http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnhum.2016.00130/full Hope this helps.
  14. knitty kitty
    Another PO'ed Celiac, What nutritional deficiencies have you been tested for and when??? What were your levels? Were you taking vitamin supplements when you were tested? Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. You may not have gastrointestinal problems, but if your body is not absorbing the proper nutrients,...

    Another scary study about PPI's: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28220520 And our discussion: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/117685-atrophy-associated-with-ppis-nsaids-and-ssris/ What POSSIBLY could be happening: http://blogs.creighton.edu/heaney/2013/11/18/pellagra-and-the-four-ds/ Pellagra is a real thing. ...

    Well, there's always this creepy explanation... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/ Glyphosate (Roundup) use and GMO's might have something to do with the increase in Celiac Disease... It's scary out there....

    Here's a list of allowed sulfite used in foods. http://www.ehso.com/ehshome/FoodAdd/foodadditivessulf.htm Remember that if sulfurous or sulfuric acid is used in processing, it may not be on the ingredient list. Here's more information. http://extoxnet.orst.edu/faqs/additive/sulf_tbl.htm http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fy731 And, yes...

    Vitamin C is supposed to be helpful in relieving constipation. And it helps with the absorption of some minerals. Hope this helps.
  19. knitty kitty
    Have you tried increasing your vitamin C? It MIGHT be Petechiae. (Not a doctor.) Here's a site that tells about vitamin deficiencies and their effects on the skin. http://www.podiatrytoday.com/when-vitamin-and-nutritional-deficiencies-cause-skin-and-nail-changes

    Whitepaw, You MIGHT have had a problem with the beet/sweet potato chips because the beets and sweet potatoes are sprayed with sulfuric acid to stop the beets and sweet potatoes from turning brown or black before cooking. Same with gluten free and regular potato chips, frozen French fries, hash browns, etc. Sulfuric acid is also used to bleach some...

    Cycling Lady, I introduced the article by saying "they conclude corn COULD be..." as in "there's a possibility"...not a certainty. "COULD" is in the title of the article. I apologize for that not being more clear. I know you don't feel well. You poor thing. You're worried about your reaction after your dental work. I have very bad...

    Ssdave, Here's a study about corn causing reactions. They conclude that corn could be responsible for continuing damage. "Maize Prolamins Could Induce a Gluten-Like Cellular Immune Response in Some Celiac Disease Patients" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820067/ I had a problem with corn after I went gluten free, so I...

    Apologies for not providing an explanation with my previous post. Battery was low. Yes, these studies were done on critically ill patients, and mice and rabbits. But some interesting things were found. Candida lowers gastric acid production, and use of antacids allow colonization. Insulin resistance may facilitate candida infiltration. Overuse...
