    I like Original Red Bull because it has only real glucose and sucrose sugar water. The sugar is combined with the Essential vitamins and minerals needed to use sugar to create ATP energy. Unlike most of the soft drinks in the American market like Coke, etc,, that all switched to High Fructose Corn Syrup in the 1970s because it was cheaper. Sugar does not...

    I wonder what the vitamin deficiency status was in these groups. I believe that GFD alone without improving vitamin and mineral intake will result in slow healing. One needs higher vitamin D plasma levels to control autoimmune sensitivity, that is, control the ttgIga production. More Iodine to breakdown defective cells and others like potassium, choline...

    Try magnesium citrate. Comes in 10 ounce bottles flavored cherry, grape, citrus. Each ounce has 580 mg of magnesium so in a glass of water it covers the RDA for magnesium. The whole bottle is used as prep for procedures so is good for constipation. I always forget to put it in my list but I drink 1 oz. cherry magcit and 1 oz tart cherry juice in 16 oz...

    People with Gilbert's syndrome don’t produce enough liver enzymes to keep bilirubin at a normal level. The Relationship among Homocysteine, Bilirubin, and Diabetic Retinopathy "present study investigated the association between the levels of plasma homocysteine and serum total bilirubin" Skip to the part they discuss bilirubin and homocysteine and c...

    26 U/ml would therefore be positive. Some thoughts on your BAM Bile Acid Malabsorption. Celiac Disease caused villi damage in your ileum could be one cause of your BAM. In addition 90% of westerners do not consume enough choline. Perfect storm. The major fate of choline is conversion to phosphatidylcholine (the main constituent of lecithin...

    Was the biopsy done on the rash or skin next to the rash? I'd get a second biopsy done by a dermotologist with experience in dermatitis herpetiformis biopsy. The biopsy must be skin adjacent to the rash. With most other rashes the rash is biopsied. With no other obvious symptoms it is strange. Silent celiac disease with active dermatitis herpetiformis...

    Have you considered having the whole family remove gluten? When my son was diagnosed at weaning in 1976 it was recommended by his doctor. We declined. Worst mistake. Life would have been so much better. We both had symptoms, dismissed as normal, that went away when I started GFD at 63. Some from early childhood. It would avoid the "Do as I say" certain...

    A study has found a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and psoriasis severity, suggesting that some people who increase their intake of the vitamin could better control this skin condition. Vitamin D modulates autoimmune responses. In the sixties a sandwich and glass of milk contained 300 mcg of iodine. Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine is...

    Inulin is a nondigestible oligosaccharide which seems to regulate the intestinal transit and the stool consistency and frequency, and to modulate the immune response. Moreover, inulin is considered a prebiotic, characterized as ‘functional fiber. Inulin-type fructans have been used in infants and children because of their prebiotic potential to modulate t...

    Increase your Choline. Eggs, liver, beef or boost intake with choline in a bottle. Linus Pauling Institute: Choline although there are other vitamins that will cause it, 90% of western world does not have adequate intake. I've recently upped my iodine to 500 mcg - 1200 mcg a day by taking 10 to 20 drops of Strong Iodine in any drink. Seems to be helping...

    Start her gluten free journey with your support by also going gluten free. A biopsy would give you a baseline of damage if it is bad enough and they look in the right places. Joining your daughter would almost make it moot. There are many cases of postitive serology and negative biopsy and vice versa. It takes some 10 or more years of being told...

    He is wrong. It is not uncommon for it to take 10 or more years to be diagnosed with misdiagnoses of other diseases along the way. "To make matters more challenging, celiac symptoms can also mimic symptoms of other diseases, such as anemia, Crohns disease, gastric ulcers, irritable bowel, parasitic infection, even various skin disorders or nervous conditions...

    Low vitamin D can disrupt intrinsic factor production in the stomach mucosa leading to a cascade effect on B12 absorption and to Pernicious Anemia. Since doctors rarely test for vitamin D this is often missed.

    Some of your symptoms are the result of vitamin deficiency caused by Celiac Disease autoimmune caused small intestine villi damage malabsorption syndrome deficiencies in diet deficiency caused by food avoidances I assume you mean that your mother has no gastrointestinal symptoms but there are over 200 not gastrointestinal symptoms...

    "Low vitamin B12 and folate levels have been associated with megaloblastic anemia, inadequate growth, increased infections, impaired memory and learning, lower academic scores, and poor cognitive performance.... Results from the present study demonstrated a positive correlation between vitamin D and vitamin B12/folate in children. As vitamin D levels decreased...

    Have they given your anemia a name? Low vitamin D is ubiquitous in autoimmune diseases, can cause low stomach intrinsic factor which inhibits absorption of vitamin B12 leading to anemia. Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency anaemia occurs when a lack of either of these vitamins affects the body's ability to produce fully functioning red blood cells...

    Many mourn the loss of gluten when first diagnosed.

    With your other symptoms it seems a slam dunk. Getting tested now makes sense because of what trents said. An official diagnosis can help your diabetes doctors with treatment options and other syndromes and symptoms. In the UK there are financial perks to having the celiac disease diagnosis. Time. A consult with a dietition familiar with Diabetes...

    Are you boosting his vitamins? Tested for deficiencies? Low vitamin D can cause poor B12 or Folate (B9) intake which can cause anemia. Gluten Free processed foods are not required to fortify with folic acid. Work around is to eat lots of leafy greens and other low omega 6 foods with folate. Eating more food with Choline like eggs, beef, liver...

    Welcome Roxy6896 to the forum. That is awesome that your husband is going gluten free to support you. Some have withdrawal issues at first, as gluten can effect the opiod receptors. It will pass and you and your husband with feel even better. I am a little concerned about taking a 100 psi from a compressor to electric appliances. Perhaps...

    Hi Nitsa. Does that ever get better? In my case, yes. Looking back at my class standing on standardized tests from 3rd grade to 12th grade, I dropped 8 percentlle points. As the years passed I seemed to get dumber. Finally started gluten free at 63. Gained a little clarity, but still foggy. I would forget what TV show I was watching seconds...

    Start a food log. You can track nutrient intake with data from https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/ , the USDA FoodData Central Since most of the blood tests only measure blood levels the only accurate well to tell where you are short is by tracking your intake. here is a sample of my spreadsheet, Using the SR28 database. http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes...

    Nutrient Deficiencies are common in Celiacs who switch to a gluten free diet of processed foods, without realizing that gluten free foods are not fortified as non gluten free foods are; so after six months they start seeing symptoms of various deficiencies. Is she eating enough eggs, beef and liver to supply her with enough choline? We need...

    Additional likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable): the ones that helped me the most noticibly are vitamin D, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D to control autoimmune, improve mood, especially the winter doldrums (Seasonal Affective Disorder), bone...

    Have you had a test for vitamin D level? “vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased autoimmunity and susceptibility to infection.” Low levels of vitamin D were also found in those suffering with Candida, yeast, bacterial overgrowth, and various digestive disorders.
