    Do you have an official diagnosis of Celiac Disease? I understand that there are tax and financial benefits to a diagnosis of Celiac Disease in the UK.

    Hi @Nogluten4thisgirl Welcome to the forum. Consider that gluten eating people without Celiac Disease or NCGS also get constipation. Your constipation can be from not gluten sources.. If you only eat foods not sold in a box or bag you don't have to worry much about cross contamination.😃 I like this one: "having limited privacy when using th...

    Look at all the extra crap they have added. No wonder you get sick from it. Get a brand that is just vitamin D3.

    You got to be in it to win it. If you are eating gluten free you will test negative. The tests look for damage and an immune response to gluten. I agree with you doctor. Unexplained infertility. Deficient Iodine. A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will show it. TSH and T4 will not show low iodine intake until you are very deficient. Bread...

    It's a misdiagnosis that happens more often than you would think. I'm sorry. It's your husband that you need to convince to start GFD for your health. Once over the hump, he will thank you. Kids under 6 don't really have much choice in what you feed them. Zinc Glyconate (Cold-Eeze). The zinc is antiviral and the lozenge coats the mucus...

    It is Zinc Gluconate, 13.3 mg zinc per lozenge. Locally Publix and Walgreens have their own generoc brand and it costs almost half as much as Cold-eeze. Start as soon as symptoms and take every 2-4 hours until symptoms are gone.

    Nicotinic Acid. I get my vitamins from pipingrock.com. They are gluten free and inexpensive but high quality.

    What Brand vitamin D are you taking? What else is in it? Do I understand correctly that you take 1500 IU of vitamin D and you get comatose and headaches and if you don't you are oK? A diet consisting mainly of white flour, white sugar, and other highly processed carbohydrates can cause thiamin deficiency. At first, people have vague symptoms such...

    The iodine content of New Zealand soils is low and therefore locally produced foods are also low in iodine. It is difficult for most people to obtain adequate iodine by eating foods that are natural sources of iodine, which is why commercially prepared bread must be fortified with iodine. Since you are not eating bread, you are more at risk than normal...

    New Zealand has a history of iodine deficiency due to low levels of iodine in the soil and changes in food habits and industry practices

    Given these symptoms I would suspect Thiamine deficient, and choline deficient. Subclinical Thiamine deficiency can cause gastrointestinal beriberi and low choline poor fat absorption. Slow healing can be caused by insufficient iodine. You refer to mg of vitamin D. What country are you in if you don't mind my asking? Mostly in the US it is...

    D3,1.25mg (equivalent to 50,000IU), soft gelatin capsules. Each Vit. D3 soft gelatin capsule contains Colecalciferol Ph Eur Vitamin D3 1.25mg (equivalent to 50,000IU). A daily dose between 125 to 250 mcg seems to be better at raising your blood level.
  13. Wheatwacked
    That is about 41 mcg a day. I am taking 250 mcg a day = 10,000 IU. Have been since 2015, it is what I need to maintain 200 nmol/L (or 80 ng/ml) blood level.

    How much vitamin D are you taking? What is your blood test 25(OH)D results?
  15. Wheatwacked
    Hi @Bindi Sorry to hear about your husband, It must be stessful. Have your doctors suggested any vitamins and minerals. One effect of the damage Celiac Disease has is malabsorption syndrome. There are about 26 vitamins and mineral that are absorbed in the small intestine and that is compromised in Celiac Disease, so long term you end up with...

    At the first sign of itchiness I take Cold-Eeze. store brand if I can. The zinc is an antiviral and coaks the mucus menmbranes killing th virus. It's been working for me since 2004.
  17. Wheatwacked
    It takes time to heal. One aspect of Celiac Disease some doctors don't check for is malabsorption syndome leading to malnutrition. Non Gluten foods are not usually fortified. Vitamin D deficiency is common, 90% of the industialized population eat less than than the Adequite Intake of choline. Iodine is 50% intake compared to 1970 and is becoming...

    Just to point out Hashimoto is also an autoimmune disease like Celiac so you most likely have very low 25(OH)D vitamin D blood plasma. Low vitamin D plasma is is a compromised immune system and leaves you open to more autoimmune diseases in the future not to mention osteoporosis. Personally, although the experts deny that osteoporosis is autoimmune...

    Before GFD I took 30-60 milligrams of prednisone to function with my fibromyagia. After GFD the fibromyagia is gone. No gluten is good gluten. If you feel better by not eating gluten, and don't have a diagnostic of Celiac Disease, then you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. If you feel better without gluten, why go back to it? Consider...

    Hello @MCS, welcome to the forum. A two step process. First increase your lactobacillus by making your own fermented pickles. IThe pickles in the stores are mostly Quick Pick;ed with vinegar sour but no lactobacillus. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] After a few months you will have populated your gut with lactobacillus which makes...

    Canyon Bakery Heritage Style whole grain or white. I keep them in the freezer. Nuke two slices for one minute.

    I felt betrayed by the food I was eating, I was angry at Agrobusiness. Angry at myself because I blew off my son's doctor's recommendation in 1976 to go gluten free. I was angry at the nutritional misinformation. I actually became quite evangelistic about GFD. My family banned me from mentioning wheat in their presence. High dose 10,000 IU Vitamin...

    Even if Gliadin G is excluded from your diagnostic standards, you still have symptoms caused by eating gluten. Perhaps you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS is diagnosed by first eliminating Celiac Disease as the cause of your symptoms. A Negative diagnosis for Celiac Disease. Then showing symptom improvement while on a trial gluten...
  25. Wheatwacked
    Have you looked into other symptoms that eating gluten can cause if you have Celiac Disease and continue to eat gluten? Many are way more dangerous and misdiagnosis can lead to unessary suffering by treating the symptoms of that disease instead of the cause Celiac. Diarrhea is not the only symptom. But taking out a Gall bladder because of Celiac Disease...
