    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...

    Welcome Liana, Mild thiamine deficiency may lead to anorexia, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Could be cross contamination from the chickpeas or rice processing plant. You might glean ideas from this older post below. If you stick to the foods on this list; Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet; from...

    100 gm russet potato.

    I know. But it has lowered my glucose from 200 to 140. After eating I have energy instead of my tradition sluggishness. The jumbo eggs have more than AI of choline. The potatoes have potassium, vitamins and an anti-immflammatory omega 6 to 3 ratio of 3:1 (compared to sweet potato 16:1). The sausage has B vitamins (54 g serving has 25% B12 and phosphorus...

    Thanks

    Eat something else for breakfast. I have 3 eggs, breakfast sausage, potato and 2 cans of Red Bull.

    I totally forgot that I used to get that. That brings my total symptoms of gluten up to 20. I don't think it is actually low glucose but suddenly you are drained of all energy, shakey and ready to collapse. It's been a while and memory is vague but very disconcerting and any food in a storm. If I were to guess I would say Thiamine Deficiency. Especially...

    Could the exacebation effect on DH associated with iodine be the histamine content of the food, and not the iodine itself?

    There are more than 200 symptoms linked to Celiac Disease. I had nineteen that improved on a gluten free diet with substantial vitamin replenishment. Malnutrition is often unrecognized in the developed world because the 'experts' say it cannot be. Some people can test seronegative yet positive on endoscopic biopsy. Many with Dermatitis Herpetiformis...

    Who is in charge here?

    One of the reasons it is so hard to diagnose Celiac Disease in adults is the widely held belief that Celiac Disease is just a "childhood disease" and we grow out of it. I think that once we are old enough to choose what we eat, without parental or peer pressure, we unconciously learn to avoid the foods that bother us the most, and take antacids when we can...

    This is out in left field but gluten, like mercury poisoning, only becomes a medical issue if you consume it.

    Welcome to the forum CatCann, Absolutely it's ok to post. The ultimate test of whether it is the gluten is that she improved without gluten and the doctors are stumped. All of her symptoms are common complaints seen here. stomach pains for years off gluten and milk. It worked! Could also be Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity...

    I am so sorry to hear that he has relapsed. I think knitty kitty is right about the nutrition. If you want I have a spreadsheet that can calculate nutrition intake from a list of ingredients and quantities eaten through the day. It would help isolate any specific vitamins and minerals lacking. Best wishes. I know this time is stressful to you. ...

    The choline will help with the bile problem, the BM problem and the Gilberts syndrome. Also, energy, brain fog. The scary thing about Celiac Disease is that between the autoimmune response and the ensuing vitamin and mineral deficiency it can mimic some 200 or more other symptoms. The medical professionals look for diseases that have pharmocologic...

    Hi Jgrace88 and thanks for your post. Yes, the panic attacks and gastroenteritis are symptoms often mentioned here and that are eventually diagnosed as Celiac Disease. Any other symptoms? If you need a medical diagnosis to validate a gluten free diet then before starting gluten free you should request from your doctor to run a full Celiac Disease...

    Not just safe. Beneficial. The Safe Tolerable upper limit for choline is 3500 mg. They set that because the side effects occur at around 7000 mg. The side effects are fishy body odor and lowered blood pressure. Have you noticed more pain after eating fats vs carbs? Without enough choline, your bile gets thick. Many have had gallbladder...

    All my life. I was a "colicky" baby. Picky eater. Hypochondriac. Mouthbreather. Underweight. Underacheiver. ADD. Anorexic. Alcoholic from 1984 until I started gluten free. And more. I learned not to bother complaining because there was "nothing wrong". When I did take meds, they either did not work or made me sicker. My son was biopsy diagnosed as an...

    When I was a kid there was coke, and Ginger ale was soothing. For breakthroughs Alka seltzer, [aspirin and bicarbonate] for about 4 hours relief. Fun fact. aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. Salicylic acid is the essential little known vitamin B11. For the pain in your gut take choline, phosphatidyl choline is the form in food so does not have to be processed...

    Hi Lily54. Thank you for joining and posting.

    Last summer, in addition to the 10,000 IU a day I spent 3 hours a week mowing, shirtless and no protection and it rasised my 25 hydroxy D to 97 ng/ml. Normal range here is 30 ng/ml to 150 ng/ml. ( 75 nmol/L to 375 nmol/L ). I'll repeat this one again: "In the US there are only about a million cases of skin cancer so it works for that. Unfortunately...

    I guessed right. 57 nmol/L is adequate if you only consider rickets, the only effect the nutrititional boards accept for making their decisions. You may not have rickets, but your immune system is seriously compromised. I keep mine at 200 nmol/L by taking 250 mcg (10,000 IU). Have been since 2015. 200 nmol/L is the same as 80 ng/ml. Even...
