  1. Keep the faith. The western diet is inherently not a nutritious one. 7 Nutrient Deficiencies That Are Incredibly Common. The article ignores choline. Choline deficiency increases lymphocyte apoptosis and DNA damage in humans A choline-deficient diet increased DNA damage in humans. Subjects in whom these diets induced liver or muscle dys-function...
  2. No wonder there is such confusion! "Thus, the short answer is that in the case of NCGS a GFD is neither medically needed nor detrimental. However, NCGS has many similar aspects to irritable bowel syndrome," https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4031484/ Because there is no autoimmune villi damage in NCGS are there vitamin deficiencies. Non...
  3. There's the "patchy" spots that @trents mentioned earlier. English translation: Celiac disease but not my job to call it. In 2004 my wife came home with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer and said if I got sick I had to move out. I started using Cold-Eeze (zinc glyconate 13.1 mg lozenges) at the slightest sign of a cold. Zinc is an antiviral...
  4. Sorry it seems as if we are intruding. If they say gluten free it should be. Does Gatorade contain gluten? Pepsi's long answer to a short question "There is a possibility the ingredients were exposed to/stored next to gluten-containing foods during processing." Cheerios: "Our oats are then skillfully milled into oat flour that is verified...
  5. Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of iron, zinc, folate (vitamin B-9), thiamin (vitamin B-1), riboflavin (vitamin B-2), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) and cobalamin (vitamin B-12) Burning mouth syndrome Vitamin C deficiency causes Scurvy NHS: Scurvy feel very tired and weak all the time feel irritable and sad all the time have...
  6. Drizzling Witch Hazel in my ear helps me when my ears bother me. My understanding is a biopsy diagnosis of DH is as good as a dx of Celiac Disease. It needs special technique which a dermatologist familiar with DH would know. At least save a long trip. "DH is considered the specific cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease, and the most recent...
  7. Choline and Folate are needed to prevent neural tube defects. Iodine to avoid cretanism. Maternal Vitamin D can effect your baby for life. Choline – Gall Bladder, A Vital Organ That is Being Removed At Alarming Rates "Choline is an essential nutrient for proper growth, development, and overall function of the human body, yet nine out of 10 A...
  8. I start to spasm and jerk on SSRi tranquilizers, get calm on amphetemines. Go old school and see how he does on coffee. Coffee puts me to sleep. Baseball is good. Swimming worked for us because it is year round and in the end gave him a profession. Lithium Orotate; "low lithium intakes from water supplies were associated with increased rates...
  9. My son was diagnosed when he was weaned. By kindergarden as predicted when he was diagnosed with Celiac, we started him on Ritalin. The results were amazing. The same kid who couldn't focus on putting on socks in the morning, 15 minutes after taking a Ritalin was being helpful. He was on Ritalin everyday through High School. He didn't like the way it made...
  10. Any chance of Covid? All of the symptoms I was told would improve if I stop smoking finally did when I started GFD. If its physical contact with the filter paper, try a cigarette holder.😊
  11. And straight to the point: "However, a study of 2,012 participants – published in the American Journal of Public Health –found no statistically relevant association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)D) serum level in the range of 20 to 100 ng/mL and the incidence of kidney stones." Vitamin D Does Not Contribute to Kidney Stones, Study Asserts Oct...
  12. I figured you'd have seen that. One study I read pointed out that in those results Calcium was also supplemented and questioned could the Calcium have been the factor. After all it is Calcium Oxalate. "There remains concern, however, that increasing vitamin D intake even by 400 IU/d increases the risk for kidney stones, especially in patients with a...
  13. When my wife was pregnant back in 1976 it was recommended she drink non alcoholic "black beer" for its folate. It is full of B vitamins. Unfortunately all those B vitamins are wrapped in gluten. If I might ask, do you know your vitamin D plasma? One sign of D toxicity is stones.
  14. In patients with celiac disease, treatment with a gluten-free diet lowers stone incidence comparably to control levels probably not your best source of medical advice. Hope ours at least makes more sense. 😄 Were the bubbles supposed to jiggle them loose? Then they would still have to pass through, leaving I think a trail of pain through your ki...
  15. My wife Kathy had from childhood allergies, asthma, rosacia multiple miscarriages, endometriosis and died after three rounds of ineffective chemotherapy for ovarian cancer back in 2005. She was never diagnosed but Dr Fine's theory that moms antibodies triggered my son's Celiac so when he was weaned and introduced to wheat he immediately reacted. Six months...
  16. The mouth sores and swollen gums could be scurvy, vitamin C deficiency. The upper limit is set at 2000 mg a day, but Dr Linus Pauling, essentially the father of vitamin C, was taking 8000 mg a day when he died at 93. He recommended 2000 mg a day minimum. Eight ounces of peeled naval orange will cover for the minimum RDA of 125 mg needed to prevent scurvy...
  17. "With lactose intolerance, you can still eat cheese, but choose carefully. Hard, aged cheeses like Swiss, parmesan, and cheddars are lower in lactose. Other low-lactose cheese options include cottage cheese or feta cheese made from goat or sheep's milk." https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/ss/slideshow-dairy#:~:text=With lactose intolerance%2C you can...
  18. Misinformation. The industry would like us to believe because their profitability is at stake.
  19. To compare symptoms and what I think worked for me: Anxiety, adhd, depression - increase vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml; take 5 mg of Lithium Orotate a day. migranes - I've been lucky I guess. Never had. High BP - Increase potassium intake to DV of 4700 mg a day. That way even with the built in high sodium in the American diet you get...
  20. I'll jump in and answer that. All of the above. And there is the boredom of waiting on the seat for something to happen, while there is so much going on elsewhere. On the GFD he will learn to recognize when it is time to go now that the opiod effect is removed. 😊
  21. the point of the gluten challange is to eat enough gluten to make you sick enough so the tests will show that you are sick. If you are successfully navigating our gluten flush world, yes you will not "pass" the test. In my opinion Celiac Disease is not so much a disease, like Covid or measles, but more of a poisoning. Doctors don't learn very much...
  22. "Vital Wheat Gluten is a low FODMAP flour that is almost pure gluten...IYou would meet the requirements of a gluten challenge by eating approximately 8g of vital wheat gluten per day. https://www.nutritionix.com/food/vital-wheat-gluten
  23. For the most part once you have healed the malabsorption improves. Unfortunately the western diet itself is often nutrient deficient because so many calories are spent on carbs with little nutrional value. Other tests to ask for: vitamin D - high enough levels can moderate the autoimmune response. "The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple...
