Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice
Wheatwacked replied to Dora77's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
How high is too high? I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day. My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80. Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom... -

Chest pain from celiac

Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include...

"Vitamin D, as an immune modulator, is known to regulate immune response and maybe implicated in disease pathogenesis or susceptibility of celiac disease. Components of the immune system, such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and dendritic cells, are influenced by the regulatory effects of Vitamin D ... Increasing evidence also suggests that Vitamin D deficiency...

Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

It seems the "fad" diet is working for you.

Hi @Stephanie Wakeman, Get your vitamind D blood level checked and supplement to raise to around 80 ng/dl or 200 nmol/L. This is the natural upper limit and provides the best immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system, and low levels may impair the immune system's ability to control allergic responses. Vitamin D deficiency...

Thanks for bringing this up again. That week my doctor sent me for a Carotid Artery scan that came back 90% blockage on both sides. Short story I had a stent put in right carotid artery. Just now getting back to normal from the Anesthesia. Surgery healed well, but it took until the next day to wake up from the anesthesia. A combination of time and B6...

Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore. Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you. Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs...

Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet. Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes. Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus. Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg. ... -

Vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the severity of sciatica, with low levels potentially leading to increased pain sensitivity and inflammation. Adequate vitamin D levels may help reduce inflammation and improve nerve function, potentially easing pain associated with sciatica. Also work on choosing food with low omega 6. Omega 6 is inflammatory... -
a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals. Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency. The usual dose...

I use Listerine. Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic. The $15 ones at the supermarket. At 73 I still have all my teeth. While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator. Have...

You could try CBD for her instead of THC, although I don't think it enhances the appetite the way THC does. With anorexia appetine is everything. CBD also attaches to the opiod receptors, without the psychotropic effect so it may help with the withdrawal from gluten. There are lots of vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by Celiac Disease the the...

Gluten in Escitalopram??
Wheatwacked replied to Farmerswife's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello @Farmerswife As @trents said talk to your doctor about changing to a different drug. I I was given a prescription for Zanax, took one dose and could not sit down for four hours. Twitching all over, and my eyes felt like they were propped open with toothpicks. Perhaps the old standard, often refered to as "mother's little helper" Valium would... -
Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies. A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas. Same is true with airborne viruses. Because urban residents...
