Just a gluten free diet is not enough. Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition. Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome. Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely. It takes...

High DGP-A with normal IGA
-
Good article. Losartan after my carotid artery surgery had me feeling like I was glutened and I was getting sicker. Doctor said keep taking Losartan, but two weeks later I could not get up from the floor. Many symptoms similar to before I started gluten free. It was crippling my hips, brain fog, no appetite, etc. I stopped AMA and all the symptoms...

High DGP-A with normal IGA
Wheatwacked replied to rei.b's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Talk to your Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency. celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition. Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis, Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are... -

Chances of being coeliac
Wheatwacked replied to JoJo0611's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question. Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none. Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD. Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification. Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded... -

Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com. 500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22. That is almost two years worth for me. 250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day. It's like half the price of Walmart.

Testing can't alone be trusted. Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food. Before the advent of TV dinners. Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper. Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how...

Outgrow celiac?
-
@Riley., Welcome to the forum. It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown. That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism. Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you "outgrew" the colicky phase,...

Is this celiac?
Wheatwacked replied to Hmart's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease. Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you, you were having constant symptoms.. Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you... -

The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.

Bitters for digestion?
Wheatwacked replied to AnnaNZ's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D. Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes. While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L. Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations... -
Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is. Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons, Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it. The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L. "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune...

Yes. Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again? You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain. Gluten is your hammer. Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis. Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten... -

Can You Develop Celiac Disease Later in Life? Adult-Onset Symptoms (+Video)
Wheatwacked commented on Scott Adams's article in Autumn 2025 Issue
I soon as you feel symptoms of a virus start using Zinc gluconate lozenges (Cold Eeze). A clinical study found the Cold-EEZE Zinc Lozenge formula reduces the duration of the common cold by 42%, when taken at the first sign of a cold. It's been working for me since 2004. It coats your mucus membranes with antiviral zinc to protect your cells from the virus...
