    Choline is needed for acetylcholine, nerve transmission in the brain and fat digestion. It, along with B12. folate and B6 can lower homocysteine, an independant indicator of inflammation. Only 10% of us eat enough choline. Choline is needed to prevent fetal neural tube defects. Low iodine intake can cause Hashimoto, brain fog, breast cancer, cretanism...

    I can sometimes eat apple skin but usually it will upset my stomach. When I was a kid it was my grandmothers job to peel apples so I would eat them. I have the same trouble with cucumbers. Love them and they love me back but not the peel. Potatoes also. Over this past year I lost 30 pound of belly fat. I am pretty certain it was the combination of...

    Hi JD welcome to the forum. Tough question. First congrats on staying gluten free. Any new soaps etc that might have gluten in them? Any medications? High vitamin D blood levels is protective. Low D is common because we are told to avoid sun. The short answer is vitamin deficiencies. On a gluten diet, wheat flour is fortified with minerals...

    The normal results are 0-3. -2 is out of range so was flagged. When my son was diagnosed as an infant when he was weaned, he was put on Nutramagen for six months. It was the only hypoallergenic formula with choline. That was in 1976. Swimming is a great sport for him. Mine was on swim teams from 5 till high school. Now works Ocean Lifeguard. ...

    On a positive note it is good to know that your doctor did not just say you have celiac disease, go forth and be gluten free. She cares enough to know the ulcer needs to watched. Once clear of the gluten damage most deficiencies get better but taking extra vitamins and minerals to enhance your dietary intake will speed the process. Vitamin D will...

    Your disrupted digestion could be deficiency in choline catching up with you. Only 10% on western diets eat enough liver, beef or eggs to meet the minimum recommended daily intake. You would need to eat at least10 cups of cooked brocolli or three eggs everyday. I tale 840 mg of phophatidyl choline (equals about 500 mg of choline) because it is the form we...

    Sorry, the article is from 2019 and the links are to outside websites that may have changed.

    Chances are as a Celiac you have deficient vitamin D. It behooves you to get as much vitamin D in yourself as you can as quick as you can. Ask the surgeons office or just do it on your own. Has anyone ever checked your blood plasma? Vitamin C also helps healing in dental bone grafts. "more than 17,000 healthy adult volunteers participating in a...

    Was this replacing only tapwater or other drinks like juices, coffee, soft drinks?

    It seems to go back to a baby food manufacturing error in the early 50's where 1000 times the vitamin D was added to British baby foods causing an epidemic of hypercalcimia and many infant deaths. My guess is they used mg instead of mcg. The reaction was to limit D and the rest of the world just followed suit. You may have noticed that almost all research...

    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...
