    Wow! Sounds like you are on the ball! Just like Cycling Lady suggested getting antibody testing now and a few months down the road so you can follow improvements, perhaps it would be worthwhile to do the same for deficiencies. Sometimes supplementing one vitamin can mask a deficiency in another vitamin. For example, supplementing B12 may mask...

    Oneloved, you said earlier your daughter showed signs of malnutrition. Has anything been done to correct the malnutrition? Has your daughter been tested for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Is she taking any vitamin supplements now, besides the magnesium? Since dairy has been removed from her diet, is she on calcium supplements? Magnesium...

    Did you take any vitamin D supplements when that tested low? Was anything done to correct the other deficiencies you had? Do you take a multivitamin now? I think correcting any vitamin and mineral deficiencies should be the first line of defense. It's the simplest way of ruling out more sinister conditions. Vitamin deficiency diseases can be...

    Here's a link that discusses Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (histamine intolerance) and recommended tests. Open Original Shared Link This article explains how POTS is related to MCAS.

    Did you get any of your vitamin and mineral levels checked for deficiencies? You don't have to be Celiac to develop deficiencies. Peripheral neuropathy may be caused by deficiencies of B12, copper, vitamin E, B6, B1 Open Original Shared Link Not dreaming can be caused by B6 deficiency.

    Hi there! I follow a low histamine diet that Cycling Lady brought to my attention a long time ago. Citrus fruits and their juices are histamine releasing foods. High histamine levels can cause hives just like in an allergic reaction. Here's a helpful site: Open Original Shared Link I don't drink orange juice because because of the hives...

    Yup, short pinkies here. Anyone have a tall forehead? Open Original Shared Link Leonardo da Vinci meets celiac disease. "Adults, but not children, with celiac disease show a forehead extension significantly greater than controls, but this test's specificity appears too low to be used in the screening of celiac disease."

    Found this article about hypocalcaemia (low calcium levels) causing numbness and tingling in the shoulders. Open Original Shared Link Might be worthwhile to get vitamin and mineral levels checked by a physician. Hope this helps.

    Hi, again. My dry eyes have improved since I got my vitamin D level up in the 80's. Here's a recent study showing vitamin D deficiency is linked to dry eyes. Open Original Shared Link And another study found vitamin deficiencies in people on a gluten free diet for many years. Open Original Shared Link Sometimes nutritional supplementation...

    Hi, Cristiana, Sorry, I don't remember exactly how long I was taking the PPI, omeprazole. I believe it was less than a month. It just made things worse. I wouldn't recommend it. I'm not a doctor and everybody is different, so you'll have to decide what is right for you. What I did do was to go on a low histamine diet. I found these sites very...

    Hi. Hope you're feeling better. When I had Gerd, I found it helpful to lay on my left side after eating. Laying on the left side straightens out the esophagus and the stomach, allowing for burps to escape more easily. Eating smaller, more frequent, bland meals helps, too. Icelandgirl's crock pot chicken suggestion is a good one. Throw in...

    Allergic to olives?!? Oh, that's too bad. I can't eat olives because they add Sulfites in the brining process, but the oil is okay. I'm leary of anything with processed coconut meat because sulfites are added to keep it white. So I am highly suspicious of coconut oil and coconut milk, too. Thanks for the tip on Natural Vitality. I'll check...

    I use extra virgin olive oil. It's got lots of omega 3 fatty acids. Sunflower seed oil has more omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids. The brain likes omega 3's and the body can make omega 6 and 9 out of omega 3 like snapping legos together. I tried almond milk a while back and it didn't agree with me. It was during one of those "find the funky food...

    Hi, Ennis. Sorry the sunflower seeds made you sick. I can't tolerate them either. I think you're right that they may be too oily for some of us, though I wonder about the combination with psyllium husks.... the psyllium husks would want to absorb water and the sunflower seeds would want to repel water since they are oily.... just wondering if that combination...

    Hi. Short, your medical history has similarities to mine. I was severely deficient in Vitamin D and had diarrhea for a long time. When there is prolonged diarrhea, there is malnutrition. Once I started on Vitamin D supplements, I started to feel so much better. Actually, for a while, I ate them like candy, I craved them. It was very strange, but...

    Winda, Here's an article that might help explain how glyphosates effects the body and may trigger Celiac Disease. Open Original Shared Link I was recently exposed to glyphosates (thanks to the lawn service spraying) and have had an outbreak of DH all over my body within days. Taking niacinamide helps mine go away faster. Some have found...

    Thanks, Victoria! I will post on Winda's thread, too.

    So glad the article might shed some light on things. Would be interesting to compare your results with those findings in the article. Yes, the timing of things can seem more than coincidental... K

    "Before you start taking folic acid, your GP will check your vitamin B12 levels to make sure that they are normal. This is because folic acid treatment can sometimes improve your symptoms so much that is masks an underlying vitamin B12 deficiency. If your B12 deficiency is not detected and treated, it could affect your nervous system." Open Original...

    mnburis, I'm concerned about your symptoms, especially the diarrhea being so frequent. I experienced pellagra after prolonged diarrhea. The symptoms are diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia and death. Pellagra is a deficiency of niacin (B 3). With your vitamin D and B 12 already diagnosed as low, you're very likely to be low in all the other vitamins...

    Open Original Shared Link Maybe this article can help. Malabsorption of nutrients can make the body do weird things.
