    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...

    Could be gall bladder. Deficient choline can cause this. Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?

    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 can lead to malnutrition. Too much...

    No denial for you. How are you feeling? Did your doc give any directions?

    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.

    I won't say advocate, but my anorexia got worse so I'm taking it for a test drive and already like it. I am using Daisy full fat 4% Cottage cheese (around a pound a day and 6 to 8 ounces of 80-20 ground beef. Back then all dairy was pasture fed. No fat was a thing of the future. The bananas do entice me to eat. Bowl of cottage cheese with diced tomato, red...

    Yikes! This has been good for me, even without the protein milk. You might try Dr Haas's diet for recovery. THE VALUE OF THE BANANA IN THE TREATMENT OF CELIAC DISEASE SIDNEY V. HAAS, M.D. It was used from 1920 to 1950 to treat celiac before gluten was identified as the cause. It fell out of favor because once healed the patient was returned to a...

    For years I suspected Lymes disease because my dog tested positive for it in 1986 and of my fibromyalgia like symptoms but was always blown off by the doctors. My current doctor ordered the test, after 32 years of asking. I do not have Lyme. Once I knew it was not, I could focus on malnutrition.

    The BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) Opps. You've been tested for everything but Gluten Sensitivity (celiac disease or NCGS) and your treatment diet includes toast (gluten) as part of your cure. You might try Dr Haas's diet for recovery.

    Do you have vitamin D plasma test results and what dose D are you taking? Like many other immune diseases psoriasis is responsive to vitamin D. In 2015, a few months after starting GFD I started taking D3. Believing the anti vitamine hype I was cautious. I started at 1000 IU (25 mcg) a day and every few days increased another 1000. I really did not...

    It's so sad the Staff of Life we trusted has been silently beating us over the head. Here's the question. Would you continue eating paint chips, knowing they might contain lead?

    Some of your symptoms might be Thiamine malabsorption and deficiency. Could definitely be related to your pancreas enzyme deficiency. Glad those vitamins help. What are they? "Clinically, thiamin deficiency in humans leads to a variety of abnormalities including neurological and cardiovascular disorders (3, 42, 45). Systemic thiamin deficiency and suboptimal...

    Have you had tests for blood level of Vitamin D. Urine Iodine Test? Homocysteine? vitamin D at the appropriate plasma level moderates the autoimmune response. Iodine deficiency is a cause of hypothyroid and will help muscle tone that will help the pains and can cause slow healing.

    And if you have Celiac Disease and they served you food with gluten you would be the next story. It is about the right to appropriate nutrition regardless belief. Would withholding Insulin from a prisoner be ok?

    In the 70's the bread industry switched from potassium iodine to potassium bromide as the conditioner. It is banned in Europe and labeled a carcinogen in California. That may be why some Americans tolerate European bread better and some heritage wheat companies use bromide free conditioners. Open Original Shared Link The second clinical study instead...

    I like that the doctor is acknowledging celiac disease while looking for other issues. I think like you that most will resolve on GFD and the right nutrients, but once an official diagnosis is given the insurance will restrict any other testing.
