    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. Open Original Shared Link The section called "Demyelination/remyelination and nutrients" explains how nutritional deficiencies...

    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.

    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,...

    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,...

    Well, there's always this creepy explanation... Open Original Shared Link Glyphosate (Roundup) use and GMO's might have something to do with the increase in Celiac Disease... It's scary out there....

    Vitamin C is supposed to be helpful in relieving constipation. And it helps with the absorption of some minerals. Hope this helps.

    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. Open Original Shared Link

    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" Open Original Shared Link I had a problem with corn after I went gluten free, so I understand how frustrated you...

    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...

    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...

    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...
