    Absolutely.

    If you are not absorbing B12 through your GI tract it is a symptom that something is wrong. The shots and sublinqual are a good workaround for B12, but what is causing poor absorbtion? Some meds can do it. Low Thiamine, vitamin D and low stomach acid (PPIs?)

    If you all go gluten free, for your son's sake, then your ambiguous test will be moot.

    Vitamin D - In a study of 54 adult asthmatics, subjects with vitamin D insufficiency had lower lung function and increased airway hyperresponsiveness https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4369152/ It could be the vitamin E or vitamin A in your multivitamin.

    Batampt brand, like Bubbies is a naturally fermented Kosher Dill. While I think Bubbies has a bit of heat in the spices, Batampt does not. Good sources of Lactobacillus, beneficial bacteria for your gut and may help Lactose Intolerance.

    Eating SAD (standard ameican diet) has inherent dietary deficiencies. That is why most of the processed foods have fortification of essential nutrients. When you start eating gluten free, you no longer are being fortified. You have to get them from real food or supplemental vitamins and minerals. Here are two that are commonly insufficient that you...

    "In general, eicosanoids derived from n-6 PUFA are proinflammatory while eicosanoids derived from n-3 PUFA are anti-inflammatory. Dietary changes over the past few decades in the intake of n-6 and n-3 PUFA show striking increases in the (n-6) to (n-3) ratio (~15 : 1)" Health Implications of High Dietary Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Tomato, on...

    @MominWA If it is not imposing, I was wondering how your son is doing?

    Hi Steve76, You have been dealing with the stomach issue overtly for 12 years and I do not doubt when you heal you will realize symptoms you were told were normal part of growing up were caused by gluten. A major effect of Celiac Disease on our bodies is Celiac malabsorption syndrome and from the results you've posted, it has affected...

    Some members have said that they react to kissing.someone who has recently eaten gluten. Have you seen a doctor recently? Any medications? Do you have recent blood tests for vitamin D, homocysteine, vitamin B12, folate? Assuming the doctors don't know what is wrong, vitamin deficiencies are likely. Try taking lots of vitamin D, Thiamine and Choline...

    The short answer is Yes. To be diagnosed officially by biopsy you need Marsh 3 damage. You have Marsh 2. Also, you have been avoiding gluten for years. You need to be actively eating gluten for it to affect you. That's what makes diagnosing it so complicated. For a gluten tolerance challenge to be accurate you need to be...

    It was actually developed for patients who are diagnosed with Refractory Celiac. The idea I think is to remove all sources of contamination. Start worse case senario and it will get easier. Like 40 years in the desert. I think do it for a month, get a baseline and add your foods back as you tolerate. When my just weaned son was diagnosed (biopsy) in...

    Stick to the foods on this list for a while. Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet. Sorry but millet is first in the do not eat chart. Folic Acid, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E, potassium are best gotten from whole foods. They have been inked to increased cancer over placebo. Why take the chance? One example: Keeping...

    Hi Corali, welcome This is an older thread but it is interesting to read what was current thought then. Choline is an essential vitamin. It makes up mitochondrial membrane, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, is the major component of Bile, so deficiency can cause gallstones, gall bladder disease. Diffeciency of choline causes Non Alcoholic...

    Hi newtonfree. Welcome the the forum. "Good" story. Happy ending. There is lots of info on DH in posts, blogs and articles. I like to think of it as a lifelong challange to avoid being poisoned. Is smoking a disease or poison? Same kind of thing. Not smoking AND avoiding second hand smoke (cross contamination). In disclosure I still smoke a pack a day...

    I forgot to include 2 ounces of Cherry flavor magnesium citrate in 20 ounces of water. Tastes like lemonade. Thats 580 mg of magnesium. Last night at 9 pm my glucose was 180 mg/dl. Checked it just now, 6:30 pm. 124 mg/dl.

    Make sure you are are getting enough iodine in your diet. Why a water pill? It what they would use for congestive heart falilure. Symptoms of Iodine deficiency include: dry skin, muscle pain, headache, weight gain, poor memory, constipation, muscle cramps, depression, weakness and brittle nails, slow metabolism, leg swelling, ovary and breast cysts...

    Try supplementing Choline 500 mg a day, or phoshatidyl choline for digestion issues and brain fog. Deficient choline is ofter mistaken for gall bladder disease because most of the salts in bile is choline. May help brain fog because of low acetylcholine. Low vitamin D can cause anxiety. Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United...

    Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies (tTG-IgA) test will be positive in about 98% of patients with celiac disease who are on a gluten-containing diet. ... The same test will come back negative in about 95% of healthy people without celiac disease... The tTG test is the most sensitive test for celiac disease. Doctor's opinion? Do you perhaps have vitamin...

    "Patients with DQ2, half DQ2 and/or DQ8 are predisposed to celiac disease. A negative result essentially rules out celiac disease. Celiac disease can present with gastrointestinal symptoms and/or widely variable non-gastrointestinal findings such as iron deficiency anemia, dermatitis herpetiformis, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue, short stature, neurologic...

    Sorry to hear about your dad and relatives. If you plan on getting a medical diagnosis you should do so before starting gluten free. Here are some starter links about iodine. The RDA is set at 125 micrograms (0.125 mg or 0.000125 grams). Safe upper limit in US is set at 1 gram, in Japan at 3 grams. Iodine was used in medicine until the Wolff...

    I was an alcoholic for thirty years. A friend of Bill's. I started GFD at 63. The addiction disappeared immediately. I found I no longer cared to drink. did not like what it did to me, and there was no jonesing. I can drink socially without binging afterwards, but prefer to not drink. If your dad is alive, exhort him to try gluton free for a month. Don...
