    The low carb diet can cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Maybe the one bad thing about it. Mayo Clinic has updated Low Carb Diet Guide. I started a couple weeks ago target less than 40 to undo my newfound diebetes. I use a spreadsheet to total my days intake. I found that I consistantly deficient on several from the RDA. Calcium 39%; Potassium...

    If som.ne says to give up apples for a month, no problem, But give up pancakes? World War III.

    Please don't go to the surgeon until you try gluten free diet for a month. Most of your symptoms will improve if not go away. If they don't then it is time to reassess. Be sure to supplement D, B1 vitamins, choline (or eat at least 3 eggs or a 12 ounce steak every day) and likely there are others. To some people like your doctor, you having Celiac...

    Hello pikauchu. Welcome to the forum. The good news first. If you get a properly done biopsy for DH that is positive it is the Celiac antigens in the skin. Do not pass go, you have Celiac Disease. Second, with brother and sister already and a niece on the way to Celiac Disease diagnosis 40% of first degree relatives of a person with celiac disease...

    I'd start with the corn. Some reactions include: Hives (red, itchy skin bumps) or a skin rash. For stress start by increasing your intake of vitamin D. It is traditional for Celiac, and most diseases to be low. Lithium Picolate 5 mg helps with "gotta do it, now!" What are the symptoms of pellagra, B3 Niacin deficiency. Chronic diarrhea...

    I have no doubt it is the low vitamin D and iodine levels we are encouraged to follow. And deficiency in other vitamins that prevent defective DNA by apoptosis. It's like losing all of your local police due to attrition. US adults are 42% deficient in D, the communication net of the immune system and barely enough iodine for thyroid health. There are others...

    I assune that vitamin D 60 is in nmol/ L. Same as 27 ng/ml. That's like 27 workers in a factory built for 100. I have to take 250 mcg (10,000 IU) a day to stay at 180 nmol/L. That is my homeostasis point. If I stop, my level goes down much quicker than it goes back up. It has never gone above 193 nmol/L. Doctor agrees.

    Then there is this. I think the increase in carbohydrate is mostly wheat flour. Calories that were formally nutrient dense are now empy calories that we need as a society to "fortify". "With westernisation however came an increase in the intake of refined carbohydrates and sugar in the Alaskan Inuit. Indeed, compared with the Inuit of Point Hope, the...

    I find this interesting. "With westernisation however came an increase in the intake of refined carbohydrates and sugar in the Alaskan Inuit. Indeed, compared with the Inuit of Point Hope, the Inuit living in a boarding high school consumed more carbohydrates (48% vs 10% of total calories), less fat (39% vs 55% of total calories) and less protein...

    Many with Celiac Disease become malnutritioned. Many nutrients can cause brain fog. Gluten sensitivity and epilepsy: a systematic review "Gluten-free diet (GFD) is effective in the management of epilepsy in 53% of cases." "It is important that epilepsy is more broadly recognised within the spectrum of gluten-related disorders as...

    Also an autoimmune disease that they don't really know what causes it. But, almost miraculously, it eventually goes away on a gluten free diet. It takes time and experimentation with the essential vitamins and minerals until to get them back up. Many of the symptoms you describe are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies. For your multiple autoimmune diseases...

    Sure, I get most of my vitamins and minerals from Piping Rock. Link below. I don't know if there would be surcharges to import to Canada, but as Red Bull is international I assume it is sold in your local stores. Taurine I am curious, what is unsafe? I thought since you had problems with reactions to other vitamin pills this might be a good food...

    NCGS is the diagnosis after Celiac has been ruled out but the patient shows improvement on GFD, then reversal with reintroduction of gluten. Current rate for Celiac is ~1% and NCGS is 10%. Some researchers and doctors consider NCGS like pre-Celiac. Regardless, both are treated with abstenance from Wheat, Rye, Barley and replenishment of low essential vitamin...

    Good idea.
  16. Wheatwacked
    I was very malnutritioned. Walking to the mailbox at curb was a major feat.I remember when I slept most of the time. During TV commercials I would forget what I was watching. That will get better. Don't eat gluten, work on vitamin replenishment. Good luck in school.

    Here is an article about non traditional symptoms. There are more than one would think? https://www.celiac.com/articles.html/what-are-the-symptoms-of-celiac-disease-r1090

    When you talk about those drinks with weird named exotic ingredients I wholly agree. Red Bull Energy Drink in Austria on April 1, 1987 has been around and no class action suits I'm aware of. I am not promoting it, just thimk it or something like it might help you. I find it soothes me and my tummy. Just feel better after i drink a can. It's awesome with...

    Taurine is called a conditional essential amino acid. Like choline, our bodies make some, but not really enough. Taurine is available as a supplement, but you could probably use the extra calories from the real sugar in Red Bull, anyway.
  20. Wheatwacked
    Try Red Bull. The inclusion of taurine in energy drinks is most likely due to its hypothesized effect on mental and athletic performance. Taurine supplementation has been linked to improved exercise capacity and may therefore help individuals to meet physical goals. It works good for me, but I had to go Keto to get my glucose under control. Even so one night...

    Yes, even though blood tests are negative some have positive biopsy and vice versa. Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is diagnosed by first ruling out Celiac, and then showing improvement on a gluten free diet, which you have already seen. If you feel better gluten free, then in the end regardless of what doctors say do what makes sense. If gluten hurts you,...

    The trials were using supplements ie. lab created, not food.sourced.

    I know it is overwhelming. We throw vitamin and minerals at you like fast balls in baseball. Start one, see how it goes and add the next. The vitamin and minerals will improve your compromised immune system, even while eating gluten and waiting for doctors. Rice and Thiamine Deficiency "When the technology for polishing rice became available...

    I agree with you that prednisone would ease your symptoms, you may have Adrenal Insuffiency. But BEFORE going that route, Start GFD. My experience was that removing all gluten from my diet, eased all the issues equal to prednisone. Trouble is, I was on prednisone for two years before starting gluten free and as a result have permenent adrenal insufficiency...

    As a supplement to gain mass, I would avoid the one called Cookies and Cream for sure. Looks like they use sucralose in other similar products, but the Nutrition and Ingredients tabs for this are empy. That's a red flag to me. Knitty Kitty found it has vitamin A and C. Stay away from synthetic A and betacarotenes as much as you can. Run, don't walk away...
