@LCAnacortes, Vitamin D deficiency can cause tinnitus. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause tinnitus, too. Iron deficiency as in iron deficiency anemia can cause pulsating tinnitus. Zinc and magnesium can help relieve tinnitus, too. You're very welcome.

Genetic testing
knitty kitty replied to LRFun's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome, @LRFun, I found this study.... HLA DQ Gene Dosage and Risk and Severity of Celiac Disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2175211/ "Those with 2 copies of DQB1*02 would be much more likely to get celiac disease than those with a single copy, who in turn are much more likely to get it than someone without a copy.... -
@Bob Land, Welcome to the forum! I take Thiamine Vitamin B 1, Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6, and Cobalamine Vitamin B12 for back pain. The combination really works. Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ I take 500 mg Thiamine, 50 mg Pyridoxine, and 1000 mcg B12. Hope...

@su2099, Welcome to the forum! Replacing nutrients that you're not absorbing is beneficial while recovering from Celiac Disease. Be aware that vitamins are added to gluten based products to replace those destroyed in processing. Now that you are not getting those, you need to eat a nutritionally dense diet. To replace the vitamin stores...

Question about gluten-free Flour
knitty kitty replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Xanthan gum can cause diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and can alter gut bacteria. Xanthan gum is produced by bacteria fed sugars from corn, wheat, soy or dairy, so if one is sensitive to those, Xanthan gum might not be a good choice. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xanthan-gum -
@StrongerThanCeliac, I'm thinking it might not be Listeria. You could have eaten something else along with the green beans that upset your system. What else did you eat? High histamine foods can cause problems. Nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant) can cause leaky gut and histamine problems. Do you keep a food...

@Jean Carrithers, Hello! I'm sorry you are having such difficulties. Yes, I have had to deal with anxiety like you're talking about. Doctors frequently forget to treat the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that occur as a result of malabsorption in Celiac Disease. Difficulty absorbing nutrients due to damage to the small intestine from Celiac...

@KatyV93, Could you possibly have a low level carbon monoxide leak at your home? Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause brain fog, headaches, nausea, digestive problems, skin rashes and paresthesia (pins and needles feeling). Perhaps a traveler's bug was caught prior to your return home. A low level carbon monoxide leak won't be picked up by CO...

Anyone get sick delivering/handling food?
knitty kitty replied to StrongerThanCeliac's topic in Super Sensitive People
@StrongerThanCeliac, Perhaps wearing a Covid type mask to keep out tiny particles? Up your intake of B Complex vitamins. B vitamins help you deal with stressors. -
Urinary symptoms?
knitty kitty replied to NFecht24's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@NFecht24, Urinary incontinence occurs in Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency. Antibiotics are known to cause Thiamine deficiency. Since you have cut down on gluten, you have cut down on a source of Thiamine. Supplementing with Thiamine and the other B vitamins would be beneficial for both you and your son. My urinary incontinence after... -
Has anyone here had perianal DH?
knitty kitty replied to newtonfree's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
@newtonfree, I'm glad you found a way to make peanuts edible. Boiled peanuts in the shell are a big favorite in the Southeastern part of the U.S. Boiled peanuts in the can are available. I just don't like peanuts. DH is pressure sensitive. I have gotten DH blisters on the palms of my hands from pushing a grocery cart around. I get DH underneath... -
@corkfella, There are more vitamins than B12 and Vitamin D. You would do better to add a B Complex and Vitamin C to your regimen. Vitamin C deficiency can cause swollen and inflamed gums, as well as rashes on the skin and trouble breathing. Here's an article about Vitamin C deficiency. See if your symptoms match these. https://www...

Has anyone here had perianal DH?
knitty kitty replied to newtonfree's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
@newtonfree, You seem to have a wonderful relationship with your wife! I admire you both are making a team effort, so here's some more tips for wife care... Get her Vitamin D level above 80 nmol/L. At that level and above, Vitamin D acts like a hormone. It's a major help. I was so deficient in Vitamin D (single digits) that I had severe menstrual... -
Has anyone here had perianal DH?
knitty kitty replied to newtonfree's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
@newtonfree, I've found Niacin Vitamin B 3 helps heal Dermatitis Herpetiformis outbreaks. Nicotinic acid, the form of Niacin that causes flushing helps DH the best for me, but if the flushing is too much for you, Niacinamide works, too. I've suffered from Gastroparesis. I have Type Two Diabetes, under control with diet and Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine... -

Anyone get sick delivering/handling food?
knitty kitty replied to StrongerThanCeliac's topic in Super Sensitive People
@StrongerThanCeliac, Yes, there are other sensitive Celiacs who react to airborne gluten. Airborne gluten particles can enter through your nose and get washed down the throat and into our digestive system. I get sick shopping in the bakery and bread aisle at the grocery store. I react to crustaceans also, so restaurants that boil shrimp... -
