    Wrong answer. The longer you delay the more damage to repair. And if they test positive, it is another risk factor for your own diagnosis as a 1st degree relative of a certified child. You whole family should go GFD, in my opinion, regardless of the doctors. This is only a medical issue as long as you eat gluten. Once you stop, and with all the essential...

    If you are ok with milk, 100% grass fed has omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1 while regular commercial milk is 5:1. White wheat flour is 22:1. Optimum for humans is less than 4:1. 25 mcg of vitamin D is enough to keep you from getting Rickets. For reference, I have been taking 250 mcg a day since 2015 and my blood plasma is steady at 80 ng/ml for over two years...

    Absolutely not acceptable. You will have to continue suffering needlessly while you have to continue to eat gluten for another year!? coeliac.org.uk: Coeliac disease blood tests and biopsy "If you have a positive blood test for coeliac disease, your GP will refer you to a gut specialist – a gastroenterologist. Usually, a biopsy of the gut is c...

    Antibiotics kill off both the good and bad gut bacteria indescriminately. Fermented foods help replenish and nourish the good. Homemade fermented dill pickles. Lately I've been drinking a ounce of the pickle juice and it has helped foot cramps. Could also be salt deficient if you are eating low salt diet. Salt tablets were used on hot sweaty days.

    Inulin, Choline and Silymarin in the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation-Randomized Case-Control Study Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?

    I commisserate with your story. My wife's was almost word for word. A nurse, allergies, miscarriages, endometriosis, passed of malnutrion after chemo for ovarian cancer at 57. Our son born in 1976 bloated up like a Biafra famine baby as soon as he was weaned. Was colicky from the get go. My mom just said that I got what I gave. Found a pediactric GI who was...

    Solgar is the only brand I've found of Thiamine HCl 500 mg. It is free of gluten. The WHO uses a test of 500 mg/day. If symptoms improve it is thiamine deficiency; treatment is to continue. Benfothiamine is a fat soluable synthetic form of thiamine that may work quicker at a lower dose but I think is more expensive. @knitty kitty has the experience with it...

    All those symptoms sounds suspeciously like Thiamine deficiency. "The total amount of thiamine in a person is approximately 30 mg, an amount which can be depleted within 2-3 weeks....The refining process for various foods, including rice and wheat flour, results in loss of thiamine (among other nutrients)... In fact, the widespread outbreaks of beriberi...

    A serious comorbidity with Celiac Disease is vitamin and mineral deficiencies. There are around 20 absorbed in the small intestine at risk. I have found Inulin (soluable fiber) helpful when I get bloated and anorexic.

    We could add to the mix that while only 1% of the population are diagnosed with Celiac Disease, 10% of the population are diagnosed with Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and the jury is still out whether NCGS is a precurser to Celiac. That raises the percentage to 11% that have serious problems with Gluten. And that doesn't include the people with Gluten Sensitivity...

    The retrospective study, to be published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings in September, found that 44% of screened first-degree relatives had celiac disease. Of those patients, 94% had symptoms that were not classic or had no symptoms at all. Mayo Clinic study calls for screening of family members of celiac disease patients August 22, 2019

    Since the publication of the guideline in 2013 And that was the belief in 1976 when my son was diagnosed. More recently the Mayo Clinic has upgraded that to 47% of first degree relatives.

    You won't be doing her any favors. Make sure she gets plenty of sun for vitamin D, it's the autoimmune vitamin. Stomach acid can break down small amounts of gluten from cross contamination. As she grows there will be enough peer pressure to eat gluten (kids are like that) so teaching her that sometimes it is ok will open a can of worms eventually opening...

    When you give up gluten you give up some vitamins and minerals that are added to fortify our diets. Some like choline we already are low in because we're educated that a healthy diet limits eggs, liver and beef, the major dietary sources. To reach the RDA one needs to eat a minimum of 4 large eggs a day. Or one can eat 10 cups of cooked brocolli. But many...

    It's called Seasonal Affective Disorder. Summer is the only time you get enough vitamin D from sunlight. The rest of the year we use up out stored reserves. Anything more than 29 ng/ml vitamin D blood plasma is considered as sufficient, enough to keep Rickets and osteomalacia at bay, but the normal level is 70-90 ng/ml. You need lots of unprotected sunlight...

    I get my iodine by eating a sheet of nori with my breakfast coffee. It takes 3 sheets for the RDA 125 mcg. The upper limit is 1100 mcg and the Japanese eat three times that. Iodine Fact Sheet for Health Professionals

    Choline is the most abundant salt in BILE and helps keep bile healthy.

    I would suspect malnutrition, especially if you have Celiac Disease. There are a lot of vitamins and minerals that are affected by malabsorbtion syndrome and many that are just deficient in the SAD diet and more so in the Gluten Free SAD diet. Vitamin D is the mother supreme of our immune system. Low vitamin K will cause bruising. Low iodine and other antioxidents...

    You can be reacting to the Roundup independantly of your celiac disease. If you really want to prove you don't have celiac disease, eliminate all Roundup contamination and do a gluten challenge with a safe source of gluten. While celiac can mimic hundreds of other symptoms it does not preclude other toxins and infectious diseases and other diseases don...

    While waiting to complete testing for your diagnosis, you can start to replenish the vitamins and minerals deficiencies caused by malabsorbtion due to autoimmune villi damage caused by Celiac Disease and the SAD standard American diet. My personal feeling is that if any test is positive it is just a matter of time until it gets worse. The official diagnosis...
