    Hi, and welcome. that is the self evident proof. Even with a biopsy and blood tests it is common for folks including doctors, to believe it is in your head. The book Gluten Centric Culture: Chapter 5 Where long-held beliefs collide in familial settings. here at Celiac.com is helpful. Vitamin D Insufficiency and Prognosis in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma...

    Even with the recent inflation I spend less on food now than I did before GFD (2014). Most fruits, vegetables and meats are gluten free until some company "adds value" and puts it in a box or bag. Glten free facsimile gluten foods are no better than gluten foods, despite the millions spent to convince us otherwise.

    Key Points about Celiac Disease "In both gluten intolerance and celiac disease, the body mounts an immune response against gluten, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting, bloating and gas, and constipation." There are over 200 symptoms associated with Celiac Disease. I counted 19 in...

    I started 10,000 iu a day in 2015. By 2019 I was only at 47 ng/ml (117 nmole/L). Hit 86 in 2021 and is holding at 80 ng/ml (200 nmole/L) even if I skip for a couple of weeks. Last year I stopped taking D for 3 weeks prior to blood draw and it dropped to 72 but this year stayed at 80, telling me I am finally replete and storing some. Winter blues are...

    Would that be nmole/liter for vitamin D? I'm steady at 80 ng/ml. I agree. the key to recovery is a) as Dr Amen says: love the food that loves you back and b) replenish those vitamins and minerals to the point you can store some up. 3 eggs a day supplies the minimum RDA of choline.

    Hi @Princess88, welcome to the forum. You may have to type it in. The copy paste has it all scrambled. Results and ranges is helpful as each lab has its own normal. Any other results like vitamin D, homocysteine? Why did you have the test done? Current health issues?

    There is gluten free beer made with sourgham or other gluten free sources which should be Ok and then there is gluten removed beer. Is Barley-Based “Gluten-Removed” Beer Safe for People with Celiac  Disease? "Regardless, neither the TTB nor Health Canada is allowing barley-based “gluten-removed” beer to be labeled gluten-free based on ELIS...

    I have found that the best way to clean my teeth is to rinse my mouth with plaque control mouthwash, then brush with a $14 Oral B or Sonic electric toothbrush. The rinse softens the plaque so it brushes away easy and kills the bacteria, then brush it away. Do you really want to use an abrasive toothpaste on a surface that they say cannot be renewed? Last...

    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...
