    Try the Ronzoni Gluten Free Thin spaghetti. They won't notice the difference. I use Against the Grain 3 cheese pizza. brush the bottom with Grapeseed oil, add my own pizza sauce olive oil and sliced mushrooms and mix it in to the cheese. I panfry it in a cast iron frypan covered, but then I only cook one quarter at a time. It would probably do as well...

    I stick to Alka Seltzer. covers indigestion and minor aches and pains in one fizzy drink. Bicarbonate and aspirin. Acetylsalicilic Acid. Did you know that Salicillic Acid is vitamin B11? I have always avoided other Nsaids for potential liver damage and Tylenol for kidney damage.

    Is that why Americans spend the most on healthcare and are obese, on statins, BP meds, fertility problems, prostate and endometrial diseases, brain fog, various arthritises, osteoporosis, clogged arteries, thyroid and numerous other autoimmune diseases and are on CPAPs? All things that have shown improvement on GFD. All considered to be simply part of getting...

    If it doesn't come in a box or bag it is probably gluten free.

    10 grams of fresh parsley has 164 mcg of vitamin K. The RDA is 120. Restaurants used to put parsley on everything, but called it garnish and I don't think anyone ate it. Who knew? Gall bladder like symptoms trouble digesting fats, could be not enough choline. High homocysteine could indicate a problem with Choline, Folate, or B6. Inulin: soluable...

    Vitamin D and Homocysteine. Vitamin D moderates the autoimmune system. High homocystein can indicate deficiency in Choline for which there is no easy accurate test. Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset "Vitamin D exerts effects on different aspects of immune functions, and it helps in promoting innate immunity by maintaining and improving...

    More common than copper deficiency would be Thiamine. Especially since the effects were triggered by eating polished rices. Beriberi is caused by a lack of thiamine. It is common in people whose diet consists mainly of polished white rice, which contains little or no thiamine, in chronic alcoholics with impaired liver function, and is a known (though rare...

    So 10 pages, one mention of using a sugar substitute, one mention of sugar in candy bar causing face to flare and another mention that sugar causes swelling, subsquently resolved with omega 6. Omega 3 will only work on omega 6. Could the roscacia be cross contamination with walnuts and cashews on the assembly line? No mention ever of a problem with potatoe...

    Omega 6 causes inflammation. Omega 3 causes healing. Taking the omega 3 oil changes the ratio. Sweet potato is high in omega 6. meat and russet potato is low for the same calories. With sufficient B vitamins and Choline our bodies should switch easily between modes: fat, protein, carb for energy. For what its worth a teaspoon of sugar (5 grams) is 1...

    Looks like a smoking gun to me. Optimum would be 1:1 ratio as is found in 100% grass fed milk. Sweet potato per 100 grams omega 6 = 60 mg; omega 3 = 4 mg. That equals 60/4 = 15:1 ratio. 90 calories. Sugars = 6.5 grams Russet potato per 100 grams omega 6 = 32 grams; omega 3 = 10. Equals 3.2:1 ratio. 97 calories. Sugars = 1.1 grams. Beef, brisket...

    t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Optimal Result: 0 - 3 U/mL, or 0.00 - 100.00 ug/g. Which format is yours? Fhis might clarify from the Mayo Clinic Labs. Read the whole thing. Mayo Clinic Labs Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IgA, Serum REFERENCE VALUES <4.0 U/mL (negative) 4.0-10.0 U/mL (weak positive) >10....

    Welcome to the forum. Your symptoms could definately be Celiac Disease. One major symptom is malabsorption syndrome will will cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies that otherwise don't make sense. The cool thing about Celiac Disease is if you are gluten free you will test negative for celiac disease, so your summer diet will skew the results. A positive...

    vitamin D 😧 The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review The limitation of research into vitamin with a cutoff of 30 mg/ml I believe stems from a manufacturing error in 1950's UK baby food. The dose of vitamin D was 1000 times the safe dose, causing an epidemic of baby calcification and deaths. I think they added milligrams (m...

    Don't know. You could add Nicotinic acid (B3), Pantothenic acid (b5) and increase your choline (the eggs and meat are good but you may need more for healing. Increasing your potassium to 5 grams a day, from food only. 98% of K is in the cell, so you can slowly lose a lot before it ever shows in a blood test. Potassium supplements have been flagged by the...

    Fix this first. 70-90 ng/ml is where you get maximum benefit. Doctors are taught that >29 ng/ml is sufficient. Not enough eggs and meat (choline) will cause fatty digestion issues like liver and gall bladder, and high homocysteine. The standard american diet has a 20:1 omega 6:3 ratio. Healthy is closer to1:1. White wheat flour is 22:1; 100% Grass Fed...

    You'll have good days and bad days. Some times it feels like one step forward and two back. Which vitamins are you taking now?
  17. Wheatwacked
    Enough to be aware but not really significant. The fact that DH did not increase might make one look at the malabsorption effect of classic Celiac Disease and the nutrient deficiencies it causes. On a personal note, over the summer I lost 25 pounds of belly fat. My eGFR temporatily dropped to 40 and then recovered to >60. eGFR is calculated from...

    @bechari Welcome to the forum. Don't forget potassium, choline and vitamin D with your B vitamins. "Potassium (K+) is the major intracellular cation, with 98% of the total pool being located in the cells at a concentration of 140-150 mmol/l, and only 2% in the extracellular fluid, where it ranges between 3.5 and 5 mmol/l. A fine regulation of the intracellular...

    That was a rough time for me. Cliques were starting to form that carried on through high school.

    How old is he? I would opt for the non food prize. Sometimes you have to pick the battles you can win and I get the impression this event is immenent and pretty much written in stone. Perhaps you can influence future events to be less gluten centric. Most importantly, your son is going to be in this kind of situation, so it is important for him to understand...

    Once you start eating Gluten Free most of your symptoms will improve. Ones that don't may vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Because you are in the child bearing age group, and less the 10% of our population eat enough Choline and Choline, like B vitamins is affected by the malabsorbtion caused by Untreated Celiac Disease make sure to eat liver, eggs and...

    My first nights gluten free I had vivid dreams of Dunkin' Donuts. How did you manage to get the shots? That's great. It should help put you ahead of the curve. You should also make sure you are getting enough choline in your diet. It forms 95% of the mitochondrial membranes, shares duty with folate and B6 in methylating homocysteine, the toxic sludge...

    No. It will take alertness to what you eat. You'll run into peer pressure and as you start to feel better, you'll begin to doubt its reality. Find out your blood plasma vitamin D. 70 to 90 ng/ml is what a lifeguard in August has.

    Thirty days is a good milestone. It really can be one day at a time, but worth it.

    Even the Merck Manual, though it mentions that malabsorbtion is a result of Celiac Disease, underplays the significance of malnutrition. It states; " Mild cases may not require supplementation, whereas severe cases may require comprehensive replacement. For adults, replacement includes oral ferrous sulfate 300 mg once to 3 times a day, oral folate 5 to 1...
