    Our western diet has been estimated to be from 15:1 to as high as 27:1. The Importance of Maintaining a Low Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio for Reducing the Risk of Autoimmune Diseases, Asthma, and Allergies "Up until about 100 years ago, the omega-6/3 ratio has been around 4:1 or less. However, the typical Western diet now provides an omega-6/3 ratio...

    Peripheral nerves are susceptible to damage by a wide array of toxins, medications, and vitamin deficiencies. Particularly vitamin d, Thiamine, B12, B6, and Choline. Peripheral Neuropathy Due to Vitamin Deficiency, Toxins, and Medications CDP-choline and its endogenous metabolites, cytidine and choline, promote the nerve regeneration and improve...

    " because of our long winters, most Canadians make little or no Vitamin D between October and March and need to get it from other sources. " Vitamin D and Your Health Has your doctor tested for vitamin d deficiency? It is a common factor in autoimmune diseases. There are over 200 non classic symptoms caused by Celiac Disease abd the malabsorption...

    Welcome to the forum Lynne, I had this one too. Used to crawl to the bathroom because I couldn't wait to acclimate to standing.

    Good question. All the research done is on potassium and sodium iodate and iodide forms. The molecular I2 form is clumped in but never specifically mentioned. Research in this may bear watching reguarding DH. Molecular Iodine: Could This Be a Game Changer for Dentistry? Though on a positive note for us smokers: Ali and Lear speculated that smoking...

    The best way to do that is by raising your vitamin D intake by high dosage aupplement or unprotected summer sun. 10.000 IU a day will over time stabilize at about 80 ng/ml. Even so, it does not solve your Celiac Disease but may moderate the effect of minor cross contamination. If you eat gluten your symptoms or other symptoms will come back. It is not...

    Start shopping for a new primary care physician that has experience with Celiac Disease but don't pull the trigger until you hear their interpretation of the results. You may be surprised. Given that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy and your symptoms are improving on GFD it does seem a no brainer, but...

    Here is a good article from NHS Inform Dermatitis herpetiformis that will answer some of your question. DH affects around 1 in 10,000 people. Most people with DH will have the same kind of gut damage seen with coeliac disease, but may not complain of gut symptoms Just over half (60%) of people with DH don’t have gut symptoms. The l...

    I forgot one of my favorites. M&M Peanuts washed down with a Red Bull Original. I could easily eat half a pound. Food Heaven + Energy. Forget donuts. Milk chocolate (47%) covered peanuts (23%) in a sugar shell. Ingredients: sugar, peanuts, cocoa mass, full cream milkpowder, cocoa butter, starch, palm fat, glucose syrup, skimmed milkpowder, emulsifier...

    It may take years for GFD to suffice as the sole treatment. Here is a good read: Dermatitis Herpetiformis: What Practitioners Need to Know

    Here is a list to give them: Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet Are you taking any vitamins? Living with Celiac Disease is not just about avoiding gluten. It causes vitamin deficiency. A multi vitamin like Geritol Multivitamin has more than the minimum daily requirement of many of the vitamins. As a recovering...

    This has got to be a hard time for him. What are the doctors saying about his condition? Any testing for nutrition deficiencies? Vitamin D blood test. Consults with a nutritionist knowledgeable in Celiac Disease? Has he been retested since four and a half years ago? Have they done an endoscopy/biopsy for Celiac? Dr Fasano came up with a list...

    If you could post your tests someone on the forum can give you a second opinion evaluation of their interpretation of them. Test, result, range. Your colds would be a strong indication of vitamin D deficiency and zinc deficiency. Even the NHS says: "Government advice is that everyone should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement during the...

    Welcome to the forum ArdentApe. The difference between you and your father could be vitamin D hydroxy 25 blood levels. Do you know what they are? each 10 ng/ml decrease in vitamin D level was linked with an increased prevalence of asthma "Baker’s asthma is a frequent occupational allergic disease caused mainly by inhalation of cereal f...

    Hi Emma. You should save your post so you can look back and see where you were. That is a sure sign of vitmin D deficiency. That will not improve with diet. Only summer sun or supplementing. A group of healthy lifeguards in Israel in August measured around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml). Low iodine intake will cause slow healing. Discussion...

    Hi Joel Mck. Welcome, I don't think that you are being impatient. Depending on how much you are suffering, you could consider starting the Gluten Free Diet now. Just be sure to start eating 10 grams of gluten a day for at least two weeks before your endoscopy or additional testing. It will give you extra evidence that gluten free eases your...

    Hi Lana, That is a pretty good description of life with Celiac Disease; but the result of failure is more discomforting. Your vitamin and mineral needs in recovery to good health from Celiac are similar. Celiac Disease is a disease of malapsorbtion. Here are links to two papers regarding vitamins in pregnancy. Neither is the ultimate...

    During that period my physical and mental health has improved. Metformin turned me into a zombi. Others have had no effect, at best.

    Sorry if I am confusing. No, choline alone is not going to fix the Western Diet. But add Celiac Disease malabsorption in a recovering Celiac to the fact that 90% of the general population eat less than Adequate Intake; if liver enzymes are off and the dotors are saying maybe it is this or could be that or just telling you don;t worry be happy; maybe...

    They do try to blame us for their bad advice over the last fifty years. Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom? Here's an oddity that happened to me today: At 1 pm my blood sugar was 203 mg/dl. I had 195 grams of egg (3 jumbo), 560 mg choline;108 grams pork breakfast sausage, 76 mg choline. At...

    A diet restricting liver, eggs and steak will be deficient in Choline. Choline deficiency is proven to cause Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in non alcoholics, and Fatty Liver Disease in alcoholics. Supplementing with choline to at least the recommended intake and other B vitamins is cheap, safe, and may help. It will not hurt, and may save the need for...

    Hello xRavenHeartx, Quick weight loss in a person with low BMI can cause lower eGFR. eGFR is inversely related to high BUN/creatine. Happened to me, it can recover. Oddly in the same study researchers found that rapid weight loss in a person with high BMI will experience higher eGFR and normal BMI show no change. Meds can cause it, too. If...

    My wife used to go the tanning salon in the spring to avoid her inevetable first beach day sunburn. Irish/British complexion. The rest of the summer she tanned normally. I can't help but think it has something to do with low vitamin D plasma levels. After a winter of depleting 25 hydroxy D stores, it takes the first days sunshine to raise the level...
