    That is really great news! Have they considered Choline Deficiency? Your other doctors blew you off, but have these guys adressed it? I have been on prednisone since 2012, no regrets.

    It is an everyone problem but Celiac Disease can exasperate the effect. The choline problem started when it was advised to avoid eggs and red meat for heart health so that now only 10% of the western diet eat the DV for choline. Folate (beans are good) is deficient in the general population, it is why flour is fortified with Folic Acid. Celiac Disease complicates...

    Common deficiencies with fertility and birth defects that are mostly ignored are choline which together with folate lowers the risk of neural tube defects and iodine Iodine and fertility: do we know enough?. "Median urine iodine concentrations have been widely used as a biomarker of population iodine intake, with levels >300 µg/l considered excessive in...

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear your troubles but this is the right place for you. I recently found an article from 2013 specifically geared to your concerns. It has a list of foods to stick to in order to ensure a gluten free diet while your gut heals. Trace gluten contamination may play a role in mucosal and clinical recovery in a subgroup of diet...

    Hi @HayleyR. Welcome to Celiac.com. Firstly, in just a few days you have proven to yourself that eating gluten is not good for you. It took some of us years to get to this point. Gluten is not really a great source of fiber. Here is a link to Mayo Clinic list of high fiber foods. Chart of high-fiber foods. A cup of cooked spaghetti has 6 grams of fiber and...

    Two ounces (58 grams) a day of almonds has 15 mg of vitamin E. There is Safe Upper Limit of 1000 mg synthetic vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) while there is no upper limit on natural vitamin E from food. Mayo Clinic: Vitamin E If you take vitamin E for its antioxidant properties, keep in mind that the supplement might not offer the same benefits as naturally...

    Thanks for sharing and I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Nothing hurts more than knowing after the fact. You should also evaluate your intake of Iodine and Choline in regards to pregnancy and miscarriages, breast cancer (low iodine) and high homocysteine, a marker of vascular inflamation from low choline.

    There is also Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which shares many of the symptoms but all tests are negative. Celiac is 1% and NCGS is 10% of the poputation. The possibility that NCGS and Celiac are variations of Gluten Sensitivity is undecided. The diagnosis of NCGS is to rule out Celiac and watch for improvement on a gluten free diet then return of symptoms...

    Vitamin D Status in Russian Children and Adolescents: "Recently, due to reduction in sunlight, vitamin D deficiency has become very common in both adults and children (10). The problem of vitamin D deficiency is particularly relevant in the entire territory of Russia, since most parts of the country are located above the 42nd geographical latitude, and the...

    By the way the above statement is a sure sign of vitamin D deficiency.

    "Exposure of skin to sun light is very effective in reducing blood bilirubin levels..." Like Seasonal Affective Disorder the treatment of choice seems to be phototherapy which in my opinion is not as effective as simply taking vitamin D.

    Having a weak positive tTG-IGA is like being slightly pregnant. Only doctors who are not Celiac would delay. They still believe it is mostly in our heads.

    I've been taking 10000 iu (250 mcg) since early 2015. In 2018 I was up to 47 ng/ml. Jan 2020, 87 then Sept 2021 at 80. People with more fat need more to raise blood level because it is stored in the fat. It seems the major concern is calcification but it is actually quite rare. The study that convinced me was of Kidney transplant patients getting various...

    If your immune status is low from nutritional deficiency caused by diet or malabsorption syndrome, it seems to me that any extra load caused by the flu, or covid or similar, could lower it enough to let the immune system get out of control. Low Vitamin D (immune system master controller?) and zinc (antiviral) seem to be integral, but this is a guess, not...

    This chart may help give you an idea of what vitamins you are dealing with. The RDA is the minimum determined to keep 95% of the healthy population from having symptoms of deficiency. Us sick people need more. The Fact Sheet for Health Professional from NIH are a good start to dive deeper. For example: Thiamin Fact Sheet for Health Professionals

    Low vitamin D is common in autoimmune and mood/anxiety. I also found 5 mg of Lithium Orotate a day helped to dampen urges for immediate action Vitamin D and Depression: Where is all the Sunshine? "Most individuals in this country have insufficient levels of vitamin D. This is also true for persons with depression as well as other mental disorders." ...

    Hi , confusing times. How is your daughter doing? You have several indicators of malabsorption syndrome. Your stool could be choline deficiency whiich could be simply not eating enough or not absorbing it. The RDA (the mininimum required to stay healthy) is 3 large eggs a day. B12, B6, Choline, Folate and homocysteine blood tests would help identify. ...

    The good news is that on gluten free diet she might not need those allergy shots and medications for the rest of her life.

    @C4Celiac has a good point. It might be worth more healing time on GFD with appropriate nutrition and see if she improves. Why does she say she can't bend over? Because it is uncomfortable or does it hurt, sharp or dull? Could she give it say six months? A lot depends on her pain tolerance and there is not a guaranty the cyst is the problem. Sometimes bending...

    How about this? "I can't eat anything with wheat, barley or rye. I don't know why. The doctors don't know why. Only my maker knows, and if you guys keep pressuring me to eat it, I'll be able to ask my maker in person that much sooner" 😁

    10 to 40% of first degree relatives have celiac. A Complete Celiac panel periodically seems appropriate. Even better would be the whole family eat gluten free. It can happen any time. My son was a three month old, I was 63. Giving up gluten is hard because of the addiction aspect and staying gluten free is hard because of peer pressure. You are not...

    Yours is not necessarily ovarian, though it is good to be aware. If it is ovarian it could be deficiency of iodine, choline or folate, B12, B6, common in child bearing age women and they are amoung the 20 or so nutrients absorbed (or not) by the small intestine. Definately see a gynocologist to rule out endometriosis and ovarian cancer. dietary deficiencies...
