    Glutamate: The Master Neurotransmitter and Its Implications in Chronic Stress and Mood Disorders Consumed in controlled quantities, free glutamate (as distinct from glutamate contained in protein) functions as a neurotransmitter and building block of protein. Does “glutamate” in a product mean it contains gluten? No—glutamate or glutamic acid ...

    If you eat it and doesn't cause you distress, probably OK. It it causes you distress, avoid.

    I like to think of the vitamins and minerals as the tools our body uses to process the raw materials in proteins and fats. Like a factory, if you are short a tool, the whole assembly line is slowed.

    This chart of vitamins and minerals may help to see the big picture. Here is the list of what I take. I am finally at the point where I can skip days. If you like spreadsheets you can track and total your daily intake using the National Nutrition Database. FoodData Central I think there are websites that say they do it. I used SR28 for mine. ...

    Diarrhea is when your stools are loose and watery.There is a strong cultural pressure to blame most symptoms on any thing but gluten found in wheat barley and rye. It is addictive. On a gluten free diet you will not be getting vitamins and minerals that non gluten free foods are fortified with. They are fortified because the western style diet has...

I rotate between store brand plain optical saline, Refresh, Vision Clarity and Baush and Lomb Eye Relief. Antioxidents like vitamin C and Taurine (essential amino acid may help, food sourced vitamin A . Iodine from kelp has helped my eyes, My...

    Hi Sammy7 One of the effects of Celiac Disease is malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately it seems that most doctors are happy with, "You have Celiac Disease. Don't eat gluten. Goodbye". Even on a nutritionally complete gluten free diet, most will still have vitamin D deficiency. It is more of a cultural thing. We are advised...

    You can use the NIH Fact Sheets for professional to check. for example Google: "fact sheet vitamin D"

    The blood test for homocysteine can be an indication of B12, Folate, B6 and Choline status because these are the vitamins that re-methylate homocysteine to methionine. High homocysteine is an independant marker of cardiovascular disease and inflammation.

    Almost every article you read about vitamin D emphasizes the danger of too much. Hypervitamosis D is actually quite rare. It seems to go back to an epidemic of infant deaths in the UK due to a manufacturing error in baby formula. They added a thousand times the safe upper limit of vitamin D. I think probably because they used milligrams instead of micrograms...

    While it is true that one can't rule out another disease it is far more likely that you have malnutrion with symptoms that mimic the other disease. For example, gall bladder problems and Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease are often simply insufficent Choline intake. They have been recommending that we limit eggs, liver, and beef (the main source of choline...

    When you eat gluten free you are not getting the vitamins that are required in non gluten free foods to be fortified. It's not that a gluten free diet is inherently deficient, but the Western Diet is and we continue to eat a Western Diet just without the gluten. There are several different vitamins that could be causing your peripheral neuropathy...

    This study was in 2014 in Denmark. Sadly, it does not look like there was much follow up. Then there is the increased cancer risk of vitamin A and E supplements and folic acid. The effect of folic acid on the endometrium hasn't been studied as much as the prostate. "The reproductive systems of the male and female have some basic similarities and...

    Dear Painful5, I am sorry for your loss.

    Diets that are very low in fat can raise your risk of amenorrhea. The choline will help in fat digestion. Low choline intake often are the cause of gall bladder problems. There is so much contradictory information it does get overwhelming. And to boot they always scare you with the fear of hypervitaminosis, rare compared to hypovitaminosis in our...

    Yeah, I actually was started on predisone for a bout of gout, but stayed on it because it worked for the other pain and I got be functioning.

    Vitamin D deficiency Daily oral dosing of vitamin D3 using 5000 TO 50,000 international units a day in long-term hospitalized patients: Insights from a seven year experience During this time, we have admitted over 4700 patients, the vast majority of whom agreed to supplementation with either 5000 or 10,000 IUs/day. Due to disease concerns, a few agreed...

    Is it helping? The advantage of budesonide is that it doesn't seem to cause Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency when used long term but has low bioavailability and seems expensive. For short term prednisolone is more effective because it doesn't have to be processed through the liver first and is cheap. Pharmaceuticlal companies don't like cheap. I do. ...

    High level of RBC folate is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality among hypertensive patients with elevated homocysteine while serum folate has no such effects. Serum and Red Blood Cell Folate With All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality All of the added "folate" is folic acid. In the US folic acid and folate are allowed to be...

    Acacia's problem is high B12 and high folate. While that does not rule out SIBO, something else is going on.

    Posted October 10, 2012 · Am I the only one who suffers the most at night. I can feel skin layers peeling off under my nail. My skin is burning and stinging and itching all at the same time. Night Time The Worst It is very likely that you have low to deficient vitamin D in your blood. Raising it will help your compromised immune system. The ...

    Hi Acacia. I'll try to follow your outline. My first questions are do you have results for a homocysteine test and what is your vitamin D level? Any medications? BP, cholesterol, diabetes, etc. You know it gets confusing and complicated so I'll say what I think will help and explain later why I think so. I've been struggling with many of your same...
