    told me I was being a hypochondriac and said it was fibromyalgia. Jeez Louise, the endoscopy report says it in plain english. As if fibromyalgia isn't real. Who's side are they on? and who is it on the other side? Using Marsh Scores to Diagnose Celiac Disease "Most healthcare providers won't diagnose celiac disease until your intestinal...

    Celiac Disease causes malabsorption. Malabsorption and deficiencies in diet cause all sorts of problems. No reason to not take steps to correct the deficiencies while continuing gluten for the testing. Thiamin Deficiency is difficult to determine. Fastest way is to supplement and evaluate your response. It can cause all of your symptoms, but it is unlikely...

    You have a diagnosis of Celiac Disease by biopsy, the gold standard of diagnosis. Accept it. Damage villi due to Celiac Disease causes malabsorption. Two weeks is not enough time to heal the years of damage done by malnutrition. That can take months to years. In the meantime you have immediate relief of otherwise unexplained diarrhea. Diarrhea itself...

    Hi Lara C, welcome to the forum. This is an older thread so you may not get an answer from Diana07. Celiac Disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS. Here's a weird comment I found that strikes me as medical newspeak: "While IBS and functional dyspepsia are not considered autoimmune ailments, there is reason to believe that some sort of immune system...

    You mention body odor. "fishy body odor" is a reported side effect of consuming around 7 grams of choline a day. The safe tolerable limit is therefore set at 3.5 grams a day. I wonder if it has anything to do with you homocysteine level? "In summary, evidence to date suggests cholesterol and TG dysregulation, along with the phosphatidylcholine-to-phosphatidylethanolamine...

    100% grass fed milk does not bother me. Palmitic acid is the fatty acid (FA) found in the greatest quantity in milk fat. Dietary sources of C16:0 generally increase milk fat yield Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid whose blood concentration is elevated in obese patients. This causes inflammatory responses, The theory is that digestion...

    Raise your vitamin D. Low vitamin D is the cause of your weakened immune system and has been linked to every autoimmune disease. Half the US population has low D. Zinc is an antiviral. Zinc gluconate lozenges protect the mucous membranes from airbourne viruses. For energy Vitamins B1, B3, B5, Taurine. Anemia vitamin B12 Liver and...

    I love that answer. If you can, get him tested for vitamin D and homocysteine and Thiamine deficiency. Vitamin D among other things controls the autoimmune system. High homocysteine indicates inflammation and can be caused by low absorption of Choline, B6, B12, Folate, and or Taurine. thiamine deficiency: "This is more evident during rapid...

    Hi RefiFed1. If you don't know what it is you should get your vitamin D blood level 25(OH)D checked. Higher plasma levels of vitamin D moderates the immune system to control an overactive system. Low vitamin D allows the autoimmune system to run amuck. The Little-Known Connection between Leaky Gut, Gluten Intolerance, and Gallbladder...

    It got me a 4F. I expect to add meat now. 165 is respectable. When I weighed that it was early stage of toxic weight gain. Never felt healthy above 150.

    I think this should be the choice for your child also.

    Even if Celiac Disease is not diagnosed, before you go crazy chasing down kidney or liver disease, try the gluten free diet first. If it is gluten there will be results in a day or so. Make sure to get lots of choline (eggs are good) The RDA for 1-3 year old is 200 mg a day. One large hardboiled egg has 147 mg. Tolerable upper limit is 1000 mg. That's almost...

    For stomach upset or other pain I always go to Alka Seltzer. Bicarbonate and aspirin. Aspirin is easier on the stomach and liver than NSaids. Oddly enough aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid Salicylic Acid is Vitamin B11 (PHGA-salicylic-acid). And so is more natural to our bodies than NSaid Cox inhibitors. Aspirin was derived from willow bark. Native Americans...

    Welcome AZLisa, Omeprazole-induced intractable cough Conclusions: Chronic, persistent cough may occur as an adverse effect of omeprazole therapy. Clinicians must be aware of this adverse effect to avoid useless and costly tests. While the biopsy is the gold standard to diagnose Celiac Disease, it is not the gold standard to rule out Celiac Disease...

    Hi Gemma, welcome to the forum. It takes time. Remember also that "normal" weight today is about 25 pounds more than it was in 1970. They've adjusted the references so we don't feel bad about the out of control obesity crisis. More important is your Body Mass Index. After 8 years gluten free I finally have lost 30 pounds of belly fat over the summer...

    If you have part C yours may cover it as prediabetes, obesity or something like that. Looks like these acts in congress are hung up and going to languish and die in committees. Here is a link to Dr Fasano's list of foods to eat and avoid. Products allowed/disallowed in the Gluten Contamination Elimination Diet (GCED) Hope it helps

    Most infant formulas do not have choline. Choline can cause liver and gall bladder problems. Choline is absorbed in the small intestine, so Celiac malabsorpsion would make low intake even worse. My son was diagnosed by biopsy back in 1976 as soon as he was weaned. Was fed Nutramagen only for about 6 months. Oxford Academic Advances in Nutrition: Choline...

    Yes to the 25-hydroxy vitamin D plasma test. Low vitamin D would help explain your mental health issues. Taking 250 mcg a day (10,000 IU) solved mine after 30 years. And low D puts you at risk for other autoimmune diseases. It is not a cure, but a preventive measure. Vitamin D and Depression: Where is all the Sunshine? Vitamin D and infectious...

    Hi Noitartst, you've got good questions. Firstly, and in my opinion a key question, who do you need to prove it to and why do you need to prove it? If you eat wheat, rye or barley and you get symptoms that interfere with your life, and when you don't eat gluten your symptoms improve, you have gluten sensitivity (GS) or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity...

    LCHF Is that LowCarbHighFiber? What is the cause of your low stomach acid? Vitamin B12 is only in animal sourced foods. The normal range for vitamin B12 (total) is between 200 – 1100 ng/L (nanograms per liter), 200 – 1100 pg/mL (picograms per milliliter), or 148 – 811 pmol/L (picomoles per liter). Even at large doses, vitamin B12 is generally consi...

    You don't mention how you were diagnosed but thank your doctor for being so on the ball. Three months to diagnosis is awesome. Especially with non traditional symptoms. Many take years. the use of bromine as a dough conditioner may have caused your hypothyroidism. Baker's Asthma "Baker’s asthma is a frequent occupational allergic disease caused mainly b...

    that is very common. Consider that they are addicted to it and can't understand why you are not joining them. Not much different than people offering an alcoholic "just one drink to celebrate with us, it won't hurt." Here is a good book hosted on Celiac.com. The damage done to your small intestine villi by Celiac Disease causes malabsorption. The longer...
