    Hi welcome to the forum. Your symptoms kind of sound like scurvey. Dr Linus Pauling was taking 9000 mg a day of vitamin C until he died in his 90's. Vitamin C Fact Sheet for Health Professionals Initial symptoms can include fatigue (probably the result of impaired carnitine biosynthesis), malaise, and inflammation of the gums [4,11]. As vitamin...

    Your "unexplained b12, vitamin D deficiency" is very common in Celiac Disease. Partly because of malabsoption syndrome and partly diet and avoidance of sunshine. How low was your vitamin D? Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are often found, rarely dealt with. First, your mental status. You need to increase your vitamin D. Sunshine would be good...

    Same symptoms I would get until my vitamin D got to 80 ng/ml. But it took me from 2015 to 2020 taking 10,000 IU a day to get there.

    Maybe you are not Gluten Sensitive. The only way to really tell is by a month of GFD. If you are not, not eating gluten for a month will be no more than a diagnostic inconvienience, any more than say, not eating apples for a month. But if you are so deep down inside so opposed to a trial, ask yourself if you, and a good portion of the western culture are...

    My motto is if they don't know the cause, good chance it is gluten related. He is right. But gluten also has an opiod effect that numbs us to its inflammatory effect. I know that gluten caused my prostate hypertrophy (diagnosed at 21 years old) because it finally went away at age 63 when I started GFD; and it causes endometriosis. Good possibility it is...

    I did the Dill pickles. Less than a week on the counter til they are ready and forever in the fridge if I don't eat them first. With the increased salt, make sure you eat enough food with potassium to keep your Sodium:Potassium ratio above 2:1. The DV for potassium is 4700 mg. Easy to track because in the US the DV for potassium is required on the nutrition...

    The main difference between Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Wheat Sensitivity is that when they can't prove Celiac through blood tests and endoscopy but you improve on GFD it is NCGS. Some like Dr Fine hold that they are varying degrees of the same disease. You need to be eating at least 2 slices of gluten bread a day for the tests to be accurate. Go back...

    Vitamin E is produced from a number of sources. Mostly it is generated from refining wheat germ oil. Other sources are found such as soybeans. Vaping and Vitamin E: What Went Wrong? After much investigation, it was discovered that vitamin E was added to e-cigarette vaping formulations to help preserve lung function. But it backfired. Instead, vitamin...

    Is she on disability? If not, I think she is no more disabled than someone with other allergies, bee stings for example.

    Back before the turn of the century I stopped using salad dressing with vinegar. Vitually ever commercial salad dressing has it. Caused itching and pain at the lymph nodes at the back of my jaw. Switched to oil and lemon juice or homemade Ceasar. Fermented foods made with salt fermentation, NO VINEGAR helped me replenish my gut biome with lactobacillus and...

    I got that when they put me on the BP medication Hydrozoline. Started on Nov 9. On Nov 12 I noted "knee unstable" One hour after taking a dose I was wobbling like a bobblehead doll and bent over. It improved through the day until the next dose. I went from normal to walking bent over with each dose. Had I not stopped it I was destined for a walker at best...

    Are these the same people that catagorically said gluten is not a problem? Watch Dr Amen's video, he will give you hope. By the way he's done 17 programs on Public Service Television (PBS) non commercial TV. It is Never too late unless you are already dead.

    Under existing guidelines though if you don't have Marsh III villi damage you don't have Celiac Disease.

    This free book, put out by the National Ataxia Foundation in 1990 has lots of nutrition info. It unfortunately ignores gluten as a cause of ataxia, and underplays the importance of choline to brain health but otherwise is good food for thought. Nutrition and the Patient with Progressive Central Nervous System Disease. Chapter 7 on page 39 is specifically...

    Colonoscopy goes in the bottom. Endoscopy goes in through the top. 😇 Here is a list of essential vitamins and minerals that could be deficient due to malabsorption. The mininum RDA is set at a level that keeps most healthy people healthy. Sick people need more than the minimum to recover. VANADIUM1.8 mgND

    All of my joint and muscle pain went away Gluten Free. Also, no more protein buldup on my contacts. It is like the gluten turns into little grains that imbed themselves as irritants in various tissues. The DV for potassium in the US is 4700 mg a day, something that on the western diet is very hard to achieve because we fill up on carbs. In addition to the...

    Unfortunately for some people it takes 10 or more years to finally find out the symptoms were Celiac Disease all along. The diagnostic protocol for NCGS is to first eliminate Celiac and show improvement on Gluten free diet. Either way treatment is the same. Gluten free food and fix the nutrient deficiencies. Gluten is very addictive and you can at first have...

    In my opinion that is sufficient evidence you have a problem with eating gluten, regardless of any medical opinion. The easiest way to tell is by adopting a gluten free diet and having improvement. Unless you need other validation, which for official diagnosis would be Marsh III damage to your small intestine. Celiac Disease can cause undiagnosed malnutrition...

    Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White Heritage Style is the closest to tradition size, mouthfeel and taste. I keep it frozen and nuke the slices for a minute then let it cool.

    There is a real difference between street meth and pharmaceutical amphetamines. Caffeine helps. I was started on coffee when I was 11 years old back in 1962. Clonidine works quite well for me now at 72. I was started on it recently for blood pressure control because I do no tolerate the usual diuretics (major dehydration and neuralogic problems). Clonidine...

    A skin biopsy is the first step in diagnosing DH. Direct immunofluorescence of clinically normal skin adjacent to a lesion shows granular IgA deposits in the upper dermis. Histology of lesional skin may show microabscesses containing neutrophils and eosinophils. However, histology may reveal only excoriation due to the intense itching that patients experience...

    Eat lots of carrots. Can Celiac Disease Lead to Vision Loss? The Connection Between Celiac and Eye Health Dry eye (technically called Dry Eye Syndrome) is a condition in which the lacrimal glands can’t produce adequate tears or the eyes are not able to maintain a normal tear layer to cover the surface.
