    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...

    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?
  22. Wheatwacked
    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?
  24. Wheatwacked
    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.
