    Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees. The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped. Also...

    If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes. She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family. Do get her tested as sooon as you can. You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease. Children recover more quickly than adults. It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going...

    Hi @Nicbent35, When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration. With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing. In the meantime, though, continue on GFD. Her health is more important than convincing...

    Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy. This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 19...

    Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle. Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency. Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and body due to the disruption...

    Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us. There is your answer. The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle.

    Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis. Rebound tenderness, fever. Is it gluten? Yes. It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency. Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough. Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin...

    Yes. My son was diagnosed at weaning in 1973 His treatment was Nutramigen until he healed and was weaned to a gluten free diet. Nutramigen with Enflora LGG Toddler: Designed for older infants and toddlers aged 9 to 36 months While your medical system is causing delay, I think you should start GFD and document improvement and do gluten challenge...

    Research indicates that a significant portion of people with dermatitis herpetiformis (dermatitis herpetiformis) can experience worsened symptoms when exposed to high levels of iodine; however, not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis will react to iodine, and the exact percentage depends on individual sensitivity and dietary factors. I don't have...

    Given your symptoms and family history and your low gluten consumption before the blood test, eventually you will be diagnosed, but it may take years. Ask your doctor about nutrition deficiencies due to malabsorption. Vitamin D deficiency is almost ubiquitous. Unless your doctor has an answer to your health issues, once you've pursued a diagnosis to...

    In what way? Skinese: You paid for it, might as well try. They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives." Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt. The no fat has varius ingrediEnts...

    Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment. It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.
  13. Wheatwacked
    The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria. I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat. Especially in early healing there may be other foods...

    In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

    After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again. It does mean the diet is working. Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals. It's a side effect called Malabsorption. ...

    Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

    @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
  19. Wheatwacked
    In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent? If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

    I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice. Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria. It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium...

    It took me 2015 to 2021 at 10,000 IU a day to get to 80 ng/ml. In 2019 I was still only 47 ng/ml The highest it has reached is 93. Tested every 3 months. While a one time massive dose can be used to quickly raise vitamin D levels, its effects only last three months. Because vitamin D is stored in fat, an obese person would require more...

    It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten. You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease. Zinc is also a common defiency. Its an antiviral. that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses. Vitamin D and the Immune System+ ...

    "grass-fed" meat by definition cannot contain wheat as it means the animal is only fed grass organic meat can be fed wheat feed

    Could be the Ozampic is masking your expected symptoms. Like an analgesic masks pain. Qzampic slows digestion to lower the rate glucose enters the intestine to slow its effect on glucose level. It seems it might also slow down the gluten entry into the intestine, reducing its trigger level for the antibodies. Ultimately the damage from gluten is the same...

    You can sell it better if the whole family does gluten free. If he does have Celiac Diease, it is genetic so either you, your spouse, or both have a 40% chance of also having Celiac. There are over 200 non classic symptoms also caused by celiac disease not often considered by doctors. Joint pain, muscle pain, muscle cramps, osteoporosis, and allergies for...
