    Many of the electrolytes and vitamins and minerals that they routinely test for with blood tests are tightly contolled by a process called homeostasis. For example, if you are not ingesting enough calcium, your body will activate backup systems that sucks the calcium out of your bones to ensure that your heart has enough to operate. Not enough choline your...

    It doesn't matter in the end. Either you stop eating gluten or you get sicker. Some research indicates that NCGS and Celiac are variations of Gluten Sensitivity. I would like to see if there is a difference between them in blood plasma levels of vitamin D. Do people with Celiac Disease diagnosis have lower vitamin D than people diagnosed with NCGS. Or other...

    As I understand it Masala is just a spice mix. Back when families made their own it varied with the family tradition, so different brands may have different mixes. What Is Garam Masala? Here's What You Need to Know About the Spice Blend

    Nice job on getting to Marsh 0. Using PPIs to control stomach acid is not a great idea. To start, our stomachs produce H+ to create an acid environment needed to break down foods. Reducing that acid may help the burning but it also interferes with nutrient absorption. Since Celiac Disease causes malabsorption in the intestine, using PPI adds an extra...

    Great find @Russ314. 480 pages to read. The first thing I found is that the Referance body weight chart page 14 maxes out at 164 pounds (74.6 kg) for males over 18 and 145 pounds (66.1 kg) for females over age 60.

    High blood pressure can be a result of not enough potassium. With Celiac villi damage you have malabsorption and diahrea causes potassium loss from the colon. Double whammy. Sodium/Potassium Ratio Linked to Cardiovascular Disease Risk "Recent national nutrition surveys show that, on average, Americans consume about 3300 mg of sodium per day (almost...

    No you are looking at the result of malnutrition due to Celiac Disease. There are numerous symptoms with Celiac Disease you might have had for a long time but was told it was normal. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

    Vitamin D and Depression: Where is all the Sunshine? "Gloth, Alam, and Hollis (1999) randomized 15 participants with SAD to either 100,000 IU of vitamin D (one time dose) (n = 8 or phototherapy (n = 7). They reported that depression (assessed with the Hamilton Depression Scale) decreased in persons who received vitamin D (from 10.9 to 6.2, p = .040) as compared...

    Option 1:The Glute Contamination Ellimation Diet may be an effective therapeutic option for GFD-adherent NRCD patients. Response to this diet identifies a subgroup of patients, previously classified as RCD1, that is not truly refractory to dietary treatment. Preventing an inaccurate diagnosis of RCD1 avoids immunotherapy. Most patients are able to return...

    Wonderful News! In time your gut will heal, it is programmed into our DNA to self repair given the right nutrition.

    If you and the rest of the family are also going to be gluten free, you could safely assume Celiac because of the improvement in her. 1% of the population has Celiac dianosis, 10% have Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. The problem is that kids forget how bad it was and peer pressure kicks in. An official medical diagnosis might help (or later cause a rebellion...

    Keep eating oats. Some people are sensitive to cross contamination but if you are not, oats is a good source of nutrition. I don't know what is causing the leg fatigue but it is not the oats. Even as a kid in gym class my legs would fatigue long before my classmates. Now it happens quicker. If I flex the muscles below my waiste they creak. Not the joints...

    There might be an answer here: Role of phosphate and calcium stores in muscle fatigue "CaPi precipitation in the SR may contribute to the disabling fatigue common in many muscle disabilities... The evidence is now reasonably strong that precipitation of CaPi in the SR can contribute to the decline of SR Ca2+ release in muscles and is therefore one important...

    "The combination of vitamins B6, B9 and B12 may help reduce your risk of developing AMD by lowering your homocysteine levels.." The 9 Most Important Vitamins for Eye Health Synthetic vitamin A, E and folic acid are often fortified in that stuff we don't eat anymore. Which is actually a benefit because these manufactured vitamins are connected to...

    Good to hear. Isn't it amazing how quick the response is? Whatever diagnosis they choose to come up with, I think GFD Is the way to go. Low A/G can be an indicator of low IgG and I believe low IgG can return inaccutate Celiac blood tests? Normally, there is a little more albumin than globulins, giving a normal A/G ratio of slightly over...

    That is largly your low vitamin D. Dah!

    There is a bias built in. Pro Wheat anti tobaccco. If a smoker has medical complaints, especially with breathing related, all is blamed on tobacco and until you quit smoking there is nothing the doctors will do. A similar bias with alcoholism. Any sickness is the result of alcohol abuse. In my case, quitting smoking never helped but quitting gluten reversed...

    What does a high MCHC mean? Celiac Disease causes vitamin deficiencies. B12, vitamin C and folate and probably choline. In general the range is "A normal MCHC level for an adult is 31-37 grams per deciliter (g/dL)." although it can vary depending on the lab. Let's see what the new test results are, it could be just not enough in her diet. Did...

    although there is this: "Pernicious anemia is mainly thought to be an autoimmune disorder that hurts the parietal cells in the stomach and inhibits the proper functioning of intrinsic factor." https://www.healthline.com/health/pernicious-anemia#vs-b-12-deficiency I can see how doctors eliminating Celiac offhand could misdiagnose.

    no.

    Scott has mentioned a connection between DH flare ups and iodine exposure. Once upon a time a test for DH was to put a drop of iodine on the skin and watch the reaction.
