    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...

    What is your vitamin D blood plasma level? Without enough vitamin D or calcium, your parathyroid glands compensate by producing too much of their hormone, a condition called hyperparathyroidism. That can lead to bone weakening (osteoporosis) and increased fracture risk. How much choline are you eating? Eggs, liver, beef. Low choline intake can cause...

    Keep us updated. I eat mostly garden salad and salmon, ground beef, cooked ham, swiss and sheep feta. 12 ounces of salad 4-8 ounces protein per meal. Cherry Magnesium Citrate. 2 ounces in a 20 ounce cup of ice water. 580 mg magnesium per two ounces and it tastes like lemonade, absorbs quickly. 5 servings per bottle. That's a dollar a day. (price tripled...

    At 63 male I looked 8 months, carrying high. All the above is correct. Here is how I finally put it together. Your vitamin D, 25-hydroxy vitamin D test, if you get tested is going to be in single digits. That affects your emotional states, autoimmune system, bone density, ability to fight infections, ability to get along and have hope and less...

    If I stop taking 10,000 IIU (250 mcg) for any length of time my blood level drops quickly. 7 ng/ml (17.5 nmol?/)in only three weeks. It took two years for me to get from 47 (118 nmol/L) to 80 (200 nmol/L). The first symptom to reappear is I get annoyed when the phone rings. My previous doctor "fired me" because my blood pressure went up on amlodipine...

    The effective blood level of vitamin D is around 80 ng/ml which is equivalent to 200 nmol/L depending on the lab. Because of a manufacturing error, the infant formula had 1000 times the maximum vitamin D for infants, in the UK in 1950s there was an epidemic of infant deaths attributed to calcification which The Royal College of Physicians and the British...

    Welcome to the forum Herboris Tin. Low vitamin D causes depression. Thiamine deficiency. Interesting, ALS was one of the first diseases to be documented that gluten free diet can improve. Of course, the mainstream medical community accused them of quackery. Here is a list of essential vitamins and minerals followed by an article explaining each...

    The way I heard the story of High fructose corn syrup and this is hearsay. There was a man working for the Sugar industry as a congressional lobbyist in 1970s to raise the import taxes on sugar to protect the US sugar industry. Once that was in place he bought the rights from a Japanese company to produce HFCS at a much lower price than sugar.

    Just because everyone has it does not make it normal or healthy. A lifeguard study that found vitamin D levels in the 70 ng/mL range up to 100 ng/mL (nature’s level) were associated with no adverse effects; 42% US adults are low or deficient. Up to 70% Canadians, 30% UK. Normal is 80 ng/ml. Low is less than 29 ng/ml and is based solely on what i...

    Original Alka Seltzer. Aspirin is an analgesic and anti-inflamatory to reduce pain and inflamation. Bicarbonate temporarily reduces stomach acid by bonding with H+ (hydrochloric stomach acid). No gluten or aluminum or unwanted side effects to worry about. For iodine intake I eat 3 sheets of certified organic Nori with my morning coffee. RDA is 125 mcg...

    10 grams of fresh parsley fulfills the RDA of vitamin K. Leafy greens, cheese and eggs have K. I prefer to take each separately, though it is a pain. This way I can adjust one without affecting the others depending on what I get from diet. I also think you pay more for the combos. It is the "added value" concept of marketing so they can charge...

    Damaged villi is a hallmark of Celiac Disease. It is a sure indicator of malabsorption syndrome which over time will lead to malnutrition because even though you may be eating enough, you are not absorbing them. Many of your family's symptoms indicate deficiencies. Mom's Sjrogens Disease is often accompanied by Vitamin D deficiency and B12 and anemia...

    Compare this to the kamut trial. Similar design, significantly different outcome. It is comparing modern wheat; the result of the Green Revolution in the '70s; and is now about 80% of the world market; to an unhybridized ancient wheat. If the new wheat has such an effect on non gluten sensitive healthy people, imagine what it does to us with GS. Comparing...

    Evidence that the western diet is dependant on fortified flours. Also, emphasizes that a gluten free replica of a gluten diet is not the way to go. Does not prove that a balanced gluten free diet is inherently dificient. I wonder if this might be the reaction to gluten withdrawal.

    I get tested by my doctor 4 times a year and have never been higher than 86 ng/ml. More good news to ease your concern: "Ekwaru et al recently reported on more than 17,000 healthy adult volunteers participating in a preventative health program and taking varying doses of vitamin D up to 20,000 IU/d. These patients did not demonstrate any toxicity...

    Isn't it odd that doctors have such a say about vitamins, yet recieve vitually no education on the subject? Sorry to be so evangelistic on the subject, but after GFD vitamin D gave me hope back. Ever wonder why there is so much tooth decay in the rest of the world? "...legislation was instituted in Great Britain forbidding the fortification...

    Eating gluten free does not necessarily replenish the vitamin deficiencies a person with Celiac Disease developes over the years. Most will eventually correct, except vitamin D. Common Nutrient Deficiencies in People with Newly Diagnosed/Untreated Celiac Disease

    Chances are your Barrett's will improve as you eat gluten free since it is caused by your previous diet. Rule of thumb: if it bothers you, don't eat it. And please, please don't get addicted to proton pump inhibitors like pepsid. Alka Seltzer (aspirin and bicarbonate) works well without long term effect. Salicylic Acid is actually essential vitamin B11 Aspirin...

    Very simple meal plan. Garden Salad: tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, onion, various lettuces, carrots, brussel sprouts, asparagus, etc. Salt and olive oil to taste for dresssing. Skip the vinegar. Use lemon juice if needed. For proteins:, farm raised salmon, mahi, (pan fry a splash of grapeseed oil to keep from sticking to cast iron fry pan. ground beef...

    For energy: 500 mg B1 500 mg B3 500 mg B5 1000 mcg B12 1000 mg Taurine 840 mg phospatidly choline ( = 500 mg choline) This will have the biggest effect on liver enzymes.)

    Ai yi yi!! At this level you virtually have no immute system. Here is what I am taking and it is working well. 250 mcg (10,000 IU). This what I need to maintain a blood plasma level of 80 ng/ml. If I stop my blood level drops quickly (7 ng/ml in 3 weeks) It took from 2018 to 2021 to raise it from 47 to 80. In 2015 I started slowly, believing...

    Anything to continue believing that wheat is an essential nutrient. It is addictive and disease promoting and essential to the western economy, not western health.

    648, I have to ask; with so many autoimmune diseases, has anyone tested you for deficient vitamin D? If you look at almost every disease, not caused by injury or infections, they all, including just getting old, have one thing in common: low vitamin D and a common associated disease is osteoporosis and tooth decay. Since the industrial revolution started...
