    Surprisingly Red Bull has no exotic ingredients and no High Fructose Corn Syrup which has to be processed first by the liver before it is available. It has sugar, glucose, Taurine (an essential antioxident amino acid), magnesium, B3, B5, B6, and B12. And about a cup of coffee worth of caffeine. All essential to the Krebs Cycle (the creation of ATP energy...

    Welcome to the forum Amanda04. So say we all! First I'll raise the specter of cross contamination. Are you living in a gluten free environment? Eating out? Personal care products? Processed gluten free foods (call them gluten facsime foods) sometimes have ingredients that many posters on this forum find irritating. While the endoscopy/biopsy...

    Hi Justsherry. Are you vegan or some other restrictive diet? There is not much vitamin B12 in a vegan diet. Celiac, IBS, Sjrogens and autoimmune gastritis are autoimmune diseases and they are all have low vitamin D in common.

    Before doing any surgery get your son started on gluten free diet with as Tents said lots of vitamins to replenish. Hypervitaminosis vitamin D is one of the rarist, but most often pointed out diseases. Personally, I've been taking 10,000 IU a day for 8 years and my blood level is steady at 80 ng/ml (equivalent to 200 nmol/L). Normal is 80 ng/ml and the safe...

    PattyWayne, sorry to hear about your gallbladder. I am not a health professional, but yes I think they would help. Double the D. If at 125 mcg you are still only 29 you need more. Or more unprotected sunlight. Choline supplements include choline bitartrate, phosphatidylcholine, and lecithin. RDA is about 500 mg a day, Tolerable Safe Upper Limit...

    Than for your answer. You make my case. I have been taking 250 mcg every day since 2015. At first I was cautious and started at 25 mcg, believing in the fear, increased each week. At 200 mcg, still no fireworks, but a few days at 250, my whole mood changed. A light turned on and I understood "Sunshine in a bottle". Sept 2018 it was 44.7 ng/m (112...

    What is your 25 hydroxy vitamin D blood level? It is the vitamin that modulates the immune system and we have systematically been told that 29 ng/ml (72.5 nmol/L) is enough. The normal level in an adult is 80 ng/ml. (200 nmol/L) and is set to maintain that level. But we are told to avoid sun for fear of skin cancer and not to take vitamin D supplements...

    Folic Acid is added to almost every multivitamin. "Folate metabolism may have a complex role in prostate cancer; the effects of folic acid–containing supplements on the risk of prostate cancer may be different those of natural dietary sources.

    Red meats are generally high in fat. Fat digestion requires choline to make bile. Best food source of choline is liver, eggs and beef. Or 10 cups of cooked broccoli meets the minimum RDA. RDA is 550 mg to 3500 mg. Less than 10% on western diet get enough. Quicker to tsupplement choline. Like the other vitamins and minerals the RDA is what a healthy person...

    There is a thing called Oral Allergy Syndrome that seems to fit your description. It The immune system recognizes the proteins as an allergen and triggers the release of histamine. Which brings me straight to the question, how much vitamin D are you getting? What is your 25 hydroxy vitamin D blood plasma? 80 ng/ml is a good target. Hypervitaminosis...

    Eric, Have you got test results for vitamin D blood level? You can get it done at a lab or mail order for around $25. If cost is an issue pipingrock.com, where I get mine, has 10,000 IU D3, 250 capsule bottle for $13.49 shipping is around $5. Or take 10 1,000 IU capsules.

    Both sides are blaming each other for their woes. I learned from working in an alcohol rehab hospital ward as an orderly and later on as an alcoholic myself that healing starts only when you accept personal responsibility. A friend of mine is bipolar, they are married twenty years, and the interaction here seems similar. She is not responsive to his needs...

    Yes, I started 10,000 IU a day (thats 250 mcg) in early 2015 about 6 months after starting GFD on Thanksgiving 2014. In Sept 2018 (just looked it up) my 25-hydroxy vitamin D test was 44.7 ng/ml. that equals 112 nmol/L. By Aug 2021 it was 86.9 ng/ml (217 nmol/L). Despite the fearmongering claims of terrible results of too much vitamin D I was inspired...

    How does the baby father stack up in regards to all of this? Has he been tested? Does he eat gluten free?

    Congratulations! Only one choice. Nutramigen. It saved my infant son when he was diagnosed Celiac Disease after weaning in 1976 and is still the best. Hypoallergenic and has 100% essential nutrients. Also no heavy metals.

    Get your vitamin D (25-hydroxy vitamin D test) blood plasma up to 80 ng/ml. Low D is found in virtually every disease state including simply getting old. The current minimum is only enough to prevent Rickets. But what about the rest of our skeleton and our mental health and our compromised immune system? Next most important regarding cancer is increasing...

    Exercise is useless unless you have the nutrition to support it. Arthritis is an autoimmune disease meaning you likely very low vitamin D. For muscle tone we need iodine (thyroid and testosterone. Energy needs vitamins B1, B3, B5, Choline and Taurine (a conditional essential amino acid that is a powerful antioxidant that helps eyes. Have you been checked...

    Dear Confused52. Welcome to the forum. I have some ideas but it would be helpful is you don't mind sharing what meds you are taking and a general idea of your diet so I dont say something stupid. For example in an attempt to lower my BP doctors kept prescribing diuretics which a) did not lower my BP and b) crippled me when I took them. Amlodipine dried...

    Try a saline enema or a few ounces of Magnesium Citrate. Very likely you are dehydrated.

    Many go through years of misery and misdiagnoses before eventually getting sick enough to get declared. There is Non Celiac Gluten Sensistivity used when someone is ruled out for Celiac, yet shows improvement on Gluten Free Diet. That is about 10% the population; vs. 1% with Celiac! Same treatment applies: avoid wheat, barley, and rye, and the part generally...
