    Yet another scientist chiming in. Again. Fructose malabsorption can happen in Celiac Disease and other gastrointestinal disorders. Fructose malabsorption symptoms include gastrointestinal symptoms as well as skin rashes and worsen asthma. Bananas as they ripen contain increasingly more fructose. Since banana bread is made with ripe or...

    Molds contain toxins that break down Thiamine Vitamin B 1. Supplementing with Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine, improves your body's ability to fight off molds and recover from mold exposure. Dr. Chandler Marrs explains... https://www.betterhealthguy.com/episode163

    Much of the healing process concerns providing our bodies with the essential vitamins and minerals and other nutrients needed to rebuild and function properly. Talking to a dietician or a nutritionist may be helpful in understanding how to plan a nutritionally dense diet. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common in vegetarians and Celiac Disease. Since...

    High histamine levels can cause irritability and mood swings. Histamine N-methyltransferase regulates aggression and the sleep-wake cycle https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5698467/ This article discusses symptoms and disorders associated with Histamine Intolerance.

    Omega Threes help and so does Biotin Vitamin B7.

    Not everyone tTg levels normalize in six months. Some can take two years or longer. It depends on diet and nutritional status. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Are you supplementing B Complex vitamins while you heal? Are you still getting glutened by eating out or cross contamination?

    @Chillycat Are you still consuming gluten? Doctors do blood tests to look for antibodies to gluten (these antibodies also attack our bodies). You have to be eating gluten to produce these antibodies. If you go gluten free prior to the blood tests, there won't be as high a level of antibodies, possibly giving an inconclusive test result (borderline...

    @FayeBr, I take some extra B vitamins when I have back pain or a migraine. A combination of Thiamine B1, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, and Pyridoxine B6 works as well as other pain relievers. B vitamins and their combination could reduce migraine headaches: A randomized double-blind controlled trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...

    Most people have local anesthesia when having a crown done. Anesthesia contains nitrogen compounds. Nitrogen in anesthesia binds permanently and irreversibly with the Cobalt in Cobalamine Vitamin B12, precipitating a B12 deficiency. Without sufficient B12, other vitamins are not able to be utilized, too. Vitamin deficiencies can precipitate overt...

    Thiamine insufficiency can cause dysfunction in the thyroid.

    Yes, I agree with your doctor. Some HLA DQ alleles are potent enough they can cause Celiac just by themselves. Have you had the itchy rash biopsied? Dermatitis Herpetiformis is the itchy rash that some Celiac people get. Having DH is a diagnosis of CeD, too. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with essential vitamins and...

    @Nick Cheruka, Are you taking a B Complex along with your B12? There are eight B vitamins. Just taking B12 can deplete Folate B9. Thiamine B1 is needed to provide energy. So B12 and Folate need energy from Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 and magnesium. B12 also needs Pyridoxine B6 which in turn needs Riboflavin B2. Try taking a B Complex...

    @momashes, Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Besides the low iron? How is your Vitamin D level? It needs to be above 80 nmol/L for Vitamin D to work like a hormone and reduce inflammation and modulate your immune response. How about B Complex vitamins? Thiamine is needed to turn carbohydrates, fats, and proteins...

    If you are eating food from a restaurant, your chances of cross contamination is greater. Try eating simple meals cooked at home. Grass fed beef and fresh veggies.
  15. knitty kitty
    When I get sick from something I can't identify from my food journal, I revert back to the Autoimmune Paleo diet. Grass fed beef, and fresh or frozen veggies. No nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers), no nuts, no legumes, no pulses (beans and lentils), no rice, no grains, no dairy, no eggs. Once my tummy has calmed down, then I can add...

    @Isshbalien, Welcome to the forum! Yes, cooking gluten-free pasta in water previously used to cook gluten-containing pasta will contaminate the gluten-free pasta. The gluten-free pasta will be contaminated with gluten from the water. It will not be gluten free.

    Very unlikely bananas contained gluten.

    Some people develop a reaction to bananas if they develop a reaction to latex. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/latex-allergy And... The latex-fruit syndrome https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12440950/

    Are you feeling better? Did your symptoms resolve?

    You may want to postpone getting any more gluten free flours until you have been checked by your doctor. If exposure to King Arthur gluten free flour has caused breathing problems, that could be a sign of allergic anaphylaxis which may get worse (life-threatening) upon repeat exposure. Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is an itchy skin rash. There are...

    @Estelle21, Welcome to the forum! Nutritional deficiencies can be the cause of your health problems. Thiamine deficiency can cause anorexia and eating disorders. A rash around the mouth and nose can be caused by deficiencies in zinc, Riboflavin B2, and B12. Changes in nails can be caused by deficiencies in iron, Vitamin D, and Biotin B7. Low...

    Some gluten free flours and baked products use Sulfites to bleach the gluten free flours to the nice "white bread" look we've grown accustomed to seeing with wheat flour. I've a Class IV Hypersensitivity to Sulfites, so I avoid products containing them. Einkorn wheat is the ancient breed of wheat. It is NOT safe for Celiac people, though those...

    @selectivefocus, Hi! Long rants are welcome here. We understand. Bananas... some people develop an allergy to Latex (rubber) and this spills over into bananas, bell peppers and cucumbers because of similar triggering proteins. "An increasing number of plant sources, such as avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, peach, tomato, potato and bell...

    @Martin VeganTrailRunr, Taking that supplement has probably masked any actual deficiencies you might have. Blood tests for vitamin and mineral deficiencies are not accurate. They can reflect what one has consumed and absorbed from food or supplements in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Blood tests do not accurately reflect how...
