    Welcome to the forum. What is your concern? Your tests indicate no Celiac, they don't find anything in the endoscopy or colonoscopy so they say there is nothing wrong with you? Maybe they think it is all in your head? Welcome to the club. "Researchers have also linked IgA deficiency to autoimmune health problems. These are health problems...

    That is good news about your relationship. "All studies evaluated report a significant increase in serum/plasma 25(OH)D concentration relative to baseline, which tended to peak between days 7 and 30 (Fig. 2). Mean serum/plasma 25(OH)D concentration surpassed IOM guidelines for vitamin D sufficiency (25[OH]D concentration >20 ng/mL) in all but 1 study...

    I refuse colonoscopy, prostate biopsy. Have stopped 4 blood pressure meds and four glucose meds because they were debilitating. As she said to me yesterday, most people want to eliminate the possibility of the most dangerous symptoms first. I was diagnosed with prostate hypertrophy when I was 21. Lived with it until I was 63 when I started taking...

    Hi Mizzpam, Short answer: Fix your Celiac and nutritional deficiencies and there is a good chance the messentary inflammation will heal on its own. Treatment:  Mild cases of mesenteric lymphadenitis and those caused by a virus usually go away on their own. Full recovery can take four weeks or more. As trents said Celiac Disease...

    Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals. Most have low vitamin D. Ask your doctor to test her for vitamin D. A 2021 study found that 15.8% of 1,058 schoolchildren showed signs of iodine deficiency, with girls aged 10–12 being more likely to be deficient. RDA established by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) ...

    This emphasizes the importance of constant vigilance. Reward them with stars on their official label, say one for every five years of performance. Failing a test would lose stars.

    Here is a link to the results of the spreadsheet I made for myself, USDA Legacy SR28 database to find out what nutrients I was lacking in my diet. http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes.net/ Here is the link to the new Food Data Central. It made it obvious, quantatatively, where my deficiencies where and choose what to eat. Even so, I find it difficult...

    Since you don't have answers I would not rule out B1 deficiency yet. Several days of high dose 100 mg or more will answer the question quickly. Either way a B1 supplement will be beneficial. Can't hurt and inexpensive. The Japanese came up with Benfothiame a fat soluable thiamine. Rice is a staple crop for half the world's population, especially...

    Getting your vitamin D up to normal level around 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L helps to moderate the autoimmune response. Most Celiacs and other autoimmune diseases are low to difficient in vitamin D. It won't 'cure' Celiac but can help keep those pesky antibodies in check. At 80 ng/ml my response to gluten is a runny nose and burning eyes several days later. ...

    Welcome to the forum, Soy is made from soy beans and gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley. Perhaps you are confused because Soy Sauce is fermented wheat and soy mixture. You can get fermented Soy only. It is called Tamari Sauce. The brand I use is Certified Gluten Free.

    Out of the blue, are you on Lisinopril for blood pressure? Like a cut on your arm, it takes time to heal. The higher your vitamin and mineral intake, the faster you may recover. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption You have low vitamin D is a virtual given. We all do. Charley Horse likely B vitamins, Thiamin, Riboflaven prime suspects...

    Agreement with trents and RMJ. In fact you should go hog wild on gluten until the endoscopy. The more damage the more likely they'll find it. It does'nt matter positive blood or endoscopy. Either one positive is not a misdiagnosis. Some people with Dermetitis Herpetiformis, the dermatologic celiac disease, test negative for both blood and endoscopy...

    I like Grapeseed Oil for pan frying. Hard to burn, significant amounts of vitamin E. One tablespoon provides 3.9 mg of vitamin E.

    Yes the damage can be repaired if you also fix the nutrient deficiencies inherent in the Western diet as recommended by the government agencies. If you don't need an official diagnosis removing Gluten alone, if you are Celiac Disease, stops the ongoing damage from getting worse, but does not address the malnutrition. It seems to me that most doctors...

    Thiamin Deficiency. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is an unusual type of memory disorder due to a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) requiring immediate treatment. It most often happens in people with alcohol use disorder and malnutrition. Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome Any reason that vitamin b1 (thiamine) makes my hallucinations go away if I take it regularly...

    Some quotes from Google Search. A Question in logic. ADD are low in dopamine. Dopamine is good for them. So why is sugar bad? Keeping in mind that there is a difference between "sugary foods" and sugar that is basically ignored in the literature and research. Specifically, sugar stimulates dopamine in the brain, as well as opioid receptors, which...

    Fair question. No to both and I don't believe confirmation bias is at issue. It works for me. It might work for others, so I share. Trying it has no irreversible effect and it is cheap. Without sugar, just no energy. With sugar have focused energy. High triglyerides and cholesterol seems to indicate that those systems don't work right in me. Runs...

    Thanks for reprinting this Scott. I found this intriguing: Murilo, While I agree wholly about eliminating "sugary foods", eliminating sucrose is a mistake. I've spent the last nine months working with my doctor to lower my blood sugar, much of it as a zombie or recovering from the medications. It seems I am one of those people who...

    Hello Matt, You don't say how you were diagnosed, but I assume at your age it was verified by damage to your small intestine found by endoscopic visualization or biopsy. That needs to heal. Afterwards, you can experiment with ‘may contain’ and ‘made in a factory' foods.

    "While I'm at it" divulging random information. The last time I took D was May 10, 2024. Fasting blood tests tomorrow morning. Until now if I went any length of time my first noticible symptom is that I would withdraw, resent the phone ringing, not read email for weeks and horizontal surfaces become cluttered. Unexpectedly since I increased...

    If you are dealing with Celiac Disease any gluten is not good. For those without Celiac Disease or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity I think the issue with wheat is the Omega 6:3 ratio of 22:1. It's why Omega 3 supplements are popular to balance that very high amount of inflammatory food in our diets.

    I rebuilt by gut biome with homemade fermented dill pickles. The lactobacillus excretes lactase in exchange for room and board, allowing me to once again drink three or four glasses of milk a day. A good nutrient source including potassium (DV 4700 g a day which an area concern worldwide for deficiency. Who started the rumour that milk is not good for...

    Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:  A Historical and an Up-to-Date Perspective It goes back to a manufacturing error in a baby formula around London in early 1950's resulting in an epidemic of infant deaths. As a result the UK passed laws banning vitamin D suppliments in food, and all but three countries followed suit. The...

    10,000 IU is 250 mcg. Read checked myself with the bottle lable. My last two tests were 93 ng/ml in December and 90 ng/ml. I'm getting about 3 hours S Florida midday sun riding my mower in bathing trunks (shoes and socks of course for safety). Getting a nice tan. 80 ng/ml is equivalent to 200 nmol/L the measurement system used mostly outside the US. ...

    Try Choline. Eating eggs, liver, beef, dairy, or supplementing. There are three essential vitamin paths to methylation. B6 rda is 2 milligrams. B9 Folate the rda is 400 micrograms and requires B12. Choline, formerly know as B4. The rda is 450 mg. Why did it lose status as a B vitamin? Probably a good story there. Clearly...
