    The above statement is wrong in so many ways. "Traditionally, 100% DV has been based on the "amount required to prevent clinical vitamin and mineral deficiencies in healthy 25-year-old men who are 5'9" and 145 lbs." Obviously, that excludes a whole bunch of other people -- not to mention that the average 25-year-old male Americans now weighs 195! In...

    Elevated concentrations of homocysteine in blood may be an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Elevated homocysteine concentrations can be caused by decreased methylation of homocysteine to form methionine, as occurs in folate deficiency. A parallel pathway exists for methylation of homocysteine, in which choline, by way of betaine...

    You also have low D, magnesium, and B12 is the low end of normal. Nutrient defieciencies are common with Celiac Disease. It is a disease of malabsorption after all. I think of it more as a poisoning. There is only one treatment. Avoid gluten and take care of any mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Get a bottle of 10,000 IU vitamin D. At the end of...

    Any one watching TV knows these are a normal part of life in America. Look how they dance with their new glucose monitors.

    Potatos are great to raise potassium (100%DV = 4700 mg). 200 Grams of boiled peeled potato without added salt: Potasium to sodium ratio = 65:1 (Heart Healthy is >2:1). I read in an article on ancient nutrition that our ancestors were typically 9:1. Of a 2000 kCal diet 200 grams of potato has: 9% Calories, 6% protein, 12% fiber, 2% sugar...

    I live in Florida, have been taking 10,000 a day since 2015 and my plasma D is holding steady at 80 ng/ml but took 5 years to get to that level, tested in 2018 at 47 ng/ml. My son a lifeguard here tested low <29 ng/ml. He was diagnosed as an infant in 1976, I was in denial until 2014. Hypervitaminosis D is rare, while low D and autoimmune disease is common...

    Lose the rice it's a nutritional black hole, add cottage cheese and ripe bananas and see what happens. These plateaus will come and go. Some times it feels like its 1 step forward and 2 back. Even though I know I was getting 300% B1, when I did the trial at 2000 mg for two weeks there was a significant improvement in my peripheral neurapathy. Bananas...

    Like fatigue and irritability, nausea and vomiting can be nonspecific symptoms of many conditions, including thiamine deficiency. This is because most dietary sources of B1 (fortified grains, beef liver, pork, dried milk, eggs, legumes, peas, nuts, and seeds) are omitted on grain-free healing diets, Thiamine deficiency has been deemed as a rare...

    Hypokalemia. Most widely recognized, the first adverse effect of thiazide diuretics is hypokalemia. As discussed above, hypokalemia is a sequela of the aldosterone-mediated actions of the Na/K pump in the CT. Hypokalemia can be life-threatening and requires monitored during the first 2-3 weeks of HCTZ therapy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK5329...

    The recommended potassium intake for an average adult is 4,700 milligrams (mg) per day. If he is on blood pressure meds what are they? Some cause hypokalemia and some cause hyperkalemia and some do not.

    Start with the foods on this list to make the transition to GFD and your symptoms improve. Add on foods as you tolerate. The doctor sends you home saying eat gluten free but really has no idea what that means and the trouble starts. Gluten Free Oreos are gluten free and are yummy; are they good for me?

    Celiac Disease and many other autoimmune diseases have a common finding: Low Vitamin D. We hide from the sun and the health agencies warn us of imminent danger of hypervitaminosis D. Maybe it is bad advice. About 25% of the US population have less than sufficient >29 nm/ml. plasma vitamin D.

    Quitting smoking did not help but the GFD did.
