Thought this might help... https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/anti-tissue-transglutaminase-antibodies-may-be-associated-with-cows-milk-protein-in-addition-to-gluten-intake-r5441/

Yes, muscle weakness and also it's the nerve signalling from the brain. Thiamine is needed for nerves to transmit messages.

No, get the itchy rash biopsied. It may be Dermatitis Herpetiformis, a skin rash the occurs with Celiac Disease. Sores around the mouth can indicate deficiencies in several B vitamins. Get his B vitamins and his Vitamin D level checked, too. Hope this helps.

@Petal100, Have you been checked for Diabetes? Endometriosis and rosacea have been linked to diabetes. I have all three plus Celiac.

It's been my experience the only vitamins doctors check routinely are B12 and Vitamin D. Erythrocyte Transketolase test is a test that may be used to measure thiamine. WHO has a field test for thiamine insufficiency: can you rise from a squat? People suffering from thiamine deficiency cannot rise from a squat or have difficulty rising from...

@Eloise2022, Welcome to the forum! I've read that Vitamin C will binds with nickel and keep nickel from being absorbed in the digestive tract. Iron competes with nickel for absorption in the digestive tract. Has your ferretin level been checked? The AutoImmune Protocol Diet is a Paleo Diet that eliminates processed gluten free facsimile foods...

Some vitamins can be measured by checking a twenty-four hour urine collection for vitamin by products (like measuring exhaust fumes from cars too see how well they utilize gasoline, lol). These are expensive and rarely done. There are no tests at all for some B vitamins. 😿 The best way is to take a good B Complex with all eight B vitamins and look for im...

http://www.adaptogenresearch.com/calcium-citrate-malate.html It's available on Amazon.com. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Calcium-HealthProfessional/ The benefits of calcium outweigh the risks of low calcium. A doctor can monitor your calcium levels and bone density before you get blocked arteries.

@Crowe, Welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to post. I'm impressed your doctor put your symptoms together as Celiac Disease. She's a keeper! Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder where gluten triggers an immune response against gluten and erroneously attacks cells in the body (that's the autoimmune part). The villi in the...

@Diamonds, The modified maize starch sounds suspicious to me. Calcium should be taken with Vitamin D to help in bone formation, so that's not a problem. Taking extra Vitamin D from your Vitamin D supplements and calcium supplements should not be a problem. I take Calcium Citrate. It's easier on my digestive system. There are some calcium...

Can you list the ingredients?

Welcome to the forum! The symptoms you've mentioned seem to be consistent with a problem with oxalates. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency are connected to problems with oxalates. Thiamine and pyridoxine are involved in making enzymes that help break down and flush the oxalates out so they don't cause kidney...

Has your son been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Rectal prolapse has been associated with low Vitamin D resulting in weak pelvic floor muscles... Vitamin D is also integral to regulating and calming the immune system. Thiamine deficiency has been associated with constipation. Your doctor is really on his toes about the...

Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. The small intestine is damaged and Celiacs don't absorb enough vitamins and minerals. You have cut out gluten. Products made with wheat flour are required by law to be enriched with vitamins removed during processing. You are no longer getting those vitamins. You need to talk to...

Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Low levels of Vitamin D can cause menstrual irregularities. "The Relationship between Vitamin D Status and the Menstrual Cycle in Young Women: A Preliminary Study" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6265788/ I doubt this is ITP, as Vitamin D deficiency...

The Vegan gluten free B Complex only has 25 mg of Thiamine. Thiamine dose needs to be 300 mg minimum. "Be well: A potential role for vitamin B in COVID-19" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7428453/ And... Evaluation of thiamine as adjunctive therapy in COVID-19 critically ill patients: a two-center propensity score...

If a person is low in thiamine and is given a large amount of glucose (one of the ingredients listed as an ingredient in this drink), the person can experience "refeeding syndrome." In Refeeding Syndrome, electrolytes are thrown out of balance and thiamine is quickly depleted. It's a serious medical condition. Thiamine is needed to process the...

It's really not that easy in the UK
knitty kitty replied to Onegiantcrunchie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Honey, when people say stuff like that to me, I ask them if they will hold my hair back while I throw up for the next seventeen hours. Their eyes get real big and they wave the waitress over to replace my salad for one without croutons. Yeah, I hate it when they say "no gluten free options on the menu? Oh, you can just have a salad." They... -

knitty kitty replied to Onegiantcrunchie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
@Onegiantcrunchie, Sure can! I asked Alexa to find a restaurant that offered gluten free Chinese food......The nearest one is one hundred nine miles away.... I hate cold take out food... If eaten there, by the time I got home I'd be hungry again.... lol Local restaurant options include gluten-contaminated "gluten free" pizza (the company itself... -
Red Wine
knitty kitty replied to maninhutbylake's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have severe reactions to wine because I have a sensitivity to Sulfites and will break out with rosacea. Hypersensitivity to Sulfites can be life threatening. As Count Dracula says, "I never drink....wine." 😼 -
@Diamonds, I take calcium citrate-malate from Adaptogen Research. It's a form of calcium that the body can utilize better. I also take Vitamin K2, boron, and Vitamin D with my calcium because these all help with bone maintenance. Calcium in green leafy vegetables like kale, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens provide great sources...

@LC, Thiamine supplementation has been found to help Covd patients (especially those on respirators) in hospital and long haulers. Fighting any infection uses up our stores of thiamine. Thiamine is one of eight B vitamins that our bodies need to function properly. Taking Vitamin C, a B Complex along with extra thiamine (300 - 1000mg) has...

Try the book "The AutoImmune Protocol" by Sarah Ballantyne. She's a doctor with Celiac and has Celiac kids. She developed the diet, which has been scientifically proven to promote healing in Celiacs. You're actually ahead of the game, knowing you have Celiac Disease. You will be knowledgeable and well practiced in the gluten free diet by the time...

@lilturge, Welcome! Please keep in mind that Celiac Disease results in malnutrition because the area of the small intestine where damage is done prevents us from absorbing nutrients properly. Thiamine is a B vitamin that helps us digest and turn carbohydrates, fats, and protein into usable energy for the body. When thiamine is low...

Welcome to the forum, @Onemoreceliac! It's a simple thing to brush your teeth after eating. Your boyfriend is not respecting your Celiac Disease, a medical condition that demands a gluten free diet. Your boyfriend is not being respectful to you by his unsupportive behaviour. Hard as it is, Celiac can help you weed out people who don't have...
