    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.

    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...

    I had to take 30 mg a day to function. I was taking it for two years before discovering gluten and my subsequent malnutrition was the root cause of all 19 of my symptons. It caused me Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency so I need to take maintenance dose for life. While prednisone saved my life, I would have been better off gluten free. But, after starting gluten...

    Hi Emonon and welcome. Yes you have malnutrition, from your symptoms most likely you have Celiac Disease. Had it since birth. Were you a colicky baby but "outgrew" it? How soon is your appointment? Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, add to that food avoidance and the western diet has built in defiencies. Can I ask where you live? 4...

    ‌Farm-raised salmon are grown in tanks or freshwater enclosures. They are bred to be eaten. Sometimes, they have a different texture and varying nutrients. This is because of the different diets they're given.May 28, 2021 Web MD: Difference Between Wild and Farm-Raised Salmon

    Pineapple juice is good. I prefer the fruit fresh, myself. I go on periodic binges with it. It's pretty cheap and available where I live. Since those big fish eat all the small fish in the ocean and collect mercury, I would think farm raised would be mercury free.

    "A homocysteine test is a blood test. It measures the amount of homocysteine, an amino acid in the body. The test is often used to diagnose vitamin B6, B9 or B12 [also choline] deficiency. People with elevated homocysteine may have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. In newborns, homocysteine testing can help diagnose a rare condition called homocystinuria...

    Homocysteine levels are not usually done. Normal is around less than 19 deoending on the lab reference range. I am currently at 18. Only god knows what it was in 2014 when I could barely stand for 5 minutes.

    People buy fish oils and other omega 3 products and swear it helps with inflammation, joints, etc. It works because it balances the :=6:3 ratio. Cheaper and healthier to lower intake of omega 6 in my opinion. Sweet potato is 17:1.

    Some have issues with the gums they use in gluten free foods. Though carbohydrate gum is gluten free. You may be reacting to it.

    Grain fed meats seem to have a higher omega 6 to 3 ratio. Optimum is 1:1. The SAD diet most westerners eat can be as high as 20:1. Omega 6 causes inflammation. Ever check your Homocystein level? It is an independant indicator of cardiovascular inflammation? One report by the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association found that among pastured chickens...

    As Frank Robinson said in 1973, "Close don't count in baseball. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." Add to that "and Celiac Disease". What the doctors diagnose you with doesn't help. Gluten Free does. To me it's a no-brainer. Keep in mind that wheat products are fortified because otherwise the general public will have deficiencies...

    By the way, do you know your vitamin D blood plasma? Vitamin D and the Immune System There have been multiple cross-sectional studies associating lower levels of vitamin D with increased infection.

    I believe it is poor fat digestion from not absorbing choline or simply not eating enough. Gall bladder needs choline to make bile. Most of the western countries have low choline intake (liver, eggs, beef) from misguided attempt to control cholesterol in the '70s and the Paxlovid somehow compounds it?

    I've been using zinc gluconate lozenges (Cold-Eeze) and have not had a cold or sinus infection since starting in 2004. Until then I had two or three a year, almost like on schedule.

    Regarding cancer: Iodine intake in the US is half what it was in 1970 and cancer rates have doubled. That began with the Atomic Age, led by The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect.

    Thanks for sharing, Craig. Stick around the forum and you'll find lots to back up what you already know. Wheat is addictive, and a very profitable commodity. Mention "gluten free" and people get angry, just like an alcoholic. Lots of money is spent to convince us wheat is good. Did you know Norman Borlaug recieved the Noble Prize for creating...

    I also had problem with the Daiya pizza. I think it was the immitation meat. Against the Grain 3 cheese pizza with my own added sauce and mushrooms though is delicious. I actually pan fry it in a cast iron pan, covered, using Grapeseed oil (high temp smoke point) brushed on the bottom of the crust or the frypan. The pan fits a quarter pizza at a time.

    Before you get your gall bladder removed. Not enough choline (liver, eggs, beef) in your diet a major cause of gallbladder issues. Less than 10% of adults in the UK get enough. Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom? it was discovered that less than 10% of the population were found to achieve the AI for choline ...

    I had to take 30 mg prednisone to function until I started GFD in order to even get out of bed. On GFD I'm down to 5-10 a day for maintenance, depending on stress and activity levels. Those first years on it caused Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency so I may have to continue for life. There are many other non classic symptoms to Celiac Disease. Vitamin...
