  1. Welcome ArchieK. As trents mentioned, yes it is common. Wheat has an opiod effect on our body. It numbs us to the damage it is causing. When you stop gluten many people feel withdrawal effects. In addition once that is gone you will start to feel the effects of other foods that may be irritating you but were numb to. In most cases this will improve...
  2. I drink 20 to 40 ounces of whole milk, often flavored with Nestle Quik Syrup(cocoa and sugar). It is a mafor source of potassium for me. DV for potassium is 4700 mg a day. At 47 mg K per ounce milk is a good source of potassium.
  3. Try increasing your intake of choline. Eggs, Beef, Liver or supplement. You can get tested for homocysteine. High homocysteine, greater than 19, causes inflammation. It is considered an independent marker of cardiovascular inflammation. Most doctors are unaware of choline and 90% of us don't eat even the minimun RDA. The RDA is the equivalent of 4 eggs...
  4. Thanks for the update. Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach. Yet, iron supplements can cause stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea in some people. the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was higher in iron deficient children compared to those who were iron replete. In overall meta-analyses, 25(OH)D concentrations <50 nmol/L were associated...
  5. Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in hereditary hemochromatosis: relation to iron status The results reveal that the low serum 25-OHD concentration in patients with hemochromatosis is directly related to the extent of iron loading and it is improved by venesection therapy. 1,25 vitamin D may be associated with suppression of hepcidin expression ...
  6. Hi Jessica, When my son was weaned in 1976 he had similar stool. I made it to 63 years old before I had it. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood marker for inflammation produced by the liver. Low serum TMAO induced by choline-deficits diets is associated with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), "Decreased synthesis of IgA is observed in...
  7. Has your vitamin D level been tested? "A strong significant inverse association was observed between tTG antibody levels and serum 25(OH)D... participants with positive IgA tTG antibodies was 37.2 times higher for participants with 25(OH)D < 12.5 nmol/l than those whose vitamin D status was higher " Celiac disease and severe vitamin D deficiency...
  8. Focus on malnutrition, reducing your omega 6:3 ratio to around 3:1 (typical western diet is above 14:1). Making your own fermented pickles or buy fermented (no vinegar) will help repopulate your gut with lactobacillus which excretes lactase to reverse lactose intolerance. 100% Grass Fed milk has a omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1. Organic milk is 3:1 and regular...
  9. How much have you been taking? I need 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml blood level. Have been since 2015. I took until 2018 just to get to 47 ng/ml . Only a few days after increasing from 8,000 to 10,000 a day I said this is sunshine in a bottle! I am on prednisolone 10 mg/day maintenance dose because before starting GFD I had to take 30 or...
  10. Vitamin D deficiency is the missing link between your dental problems, osteoporosis and Celiac Disease. Before we all got inside jobs (industrial revolution) and then started sun block for fear of skin cancer the normal vitamin D blood level in summer was around 80 ng/ml. Now 42% of us have less than 30 ng/ml year round, resulting in compromised immune...
  11. I think you already know the answer to the question of you and gluten. For your ongoing issues look for vitamin and mineral deficiencies in your diet. Unfortunately doctors don't look for nutritional causes of our symptoms. Top 3 that match your story: Have they tested your homocysteine level? It should be less than 19. Higher homocysteine...
  12. Many have had positive blood and no evidence from endoscopy. Be thankful your primary caught it before damage . What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?
  13. Hi Carolith. Don't beat your head against the wall. Fire that doctor. Is he really old? You won't find evidence of small intestine damage in the colon. Once gluten is out of the picture you have to look at vitamin and mineral intakes. I think that is where you will find why sensitivity differs.
  14. Switch to Snickers. M&M Peanuts are my favorite. My surprise was Twizzlers. I always though they were all sugar but when I finally read the label, turns out they are mostly Wheat! If the Mars were you're only unintentional gluten, you learned a lesson. With that gluten out of your diet you may get past that plateau I guess you are stuck on. ...
  15. Hi Leann horne, I am glad you are doing well now. What was the doctor's conclusion from this latest endoscopy? Would you mind sharing some of the latest blood work results? Vitamins D, B12, B6, Homocysteine, Folate, Thiamin (Vitamin B1) Whole Blood, Total IgA, tTG IgA in particular. Include "normal" range if you can because labs use different...
