    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Well said

    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...
  22. Wheatwacked
    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...
