    Hi @brainy916. It can take a while to undo the damage. Six months to two years seems to be common. The Western Diet, often called the SAD or MAD diet (Standard or Modern American Diet) is terribly lacking in some minerals and vitamins. That is why breakfast cereals and other processed food are fortified. When you stop eating those fortified foods you need...

    You are suffering from malnutrition. Try googling a symptom and vitamin deficiency. For example: Thrush and choline. You will find references to vitamin D, B12, folate, iodine, choline. 95% of our cell membranes is phosphatidyl Choline. In one study they found that eating two eggs instead of a bagel at breakfast caused weight loss. Thrush and nausea...

    Congratulation. If you count a trial GFD you know. You can get tested afterward. Make sure you get enough folate, choline, iodine in addition to the other B vitamins. Iodine and fertility: do we know enough? Choline-what it is, and why it's as important in pregnancy as Folate A recent study found women taking 4,000 IU of vitamin D daily had...

    How much is enough choline? The RDA minimum is 550 for men. The upper tolerable limit is 3500 mg. That is between 135 to 826 grams of liver a day. Or 4 to 23 large hard boiled eggs. Or 9 to 56 cups of cooked broccoli. For less than $20 you can get a bottle and try it. Or spend much more to test, but still not know. Same with Thiamine. Choline’s role i...

    Gilberts syndrome is a nice way out for the doctor. No cure, no treatment, and even if you are jaudice, yellow eyes, well, no problem. According to research from 2021, floating stools are a symptom of a malabsorption syndrome. The stool may also be greasy and large and smell foul. By the way, what color is your poo? Gilberts would be clay colored. Given...

    Have they scheduled you for a biopsy? BSG Interim Guidance: COVID-19 specific non-biopsy protocol for those with suspected coeliac disease

    Continue to eat gluten free. Because gluten is addictive, your subconscious brain will find all sorts of reasons to eat wheat, barley or rye. There is none. It does you harm. Now you need to address your specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

    Before my infant son was diagnosed by biopsy, they told my wife it just colic and it was her anxiety making it worse. They wanted her to take Valium.

    In the US an official medical diagnosis of Celiac Disease still requires a biopsy of the small intestine, or a skin biopsy if you have a rash that could be dermatitis herpetiformis. In the UK under COVID protocols if you are under 55 and you have symptoms consistant with Coeliac Disease and your IgA ttG test is greater than 10X the Upper Limit of Normal and...

    Welcome to this forum @NataLee. Sorry to hear your problem, it can be very frustrating to hear doctors say "we don't know, worst one ever"! Have you had any testing for Celiac Disease done? Did this happen suddenly? Are you on medication for something that could cause this as a side effect? Other symptoms? Could your symptom be caused by Celiac...

    My dad had that when he was 84. He had to have a colonoscopy after because his intestines were like lace. Funny, all the research I did when my brother had a stoma from intestine to bladder fixed indicated a high success rate for the operation. Intestinal surgery has a high survival and success. So why do such a large number of people with one surgery often...

    Some vitamin deficiencies to think about: Gallbladder and liver - choline deficiency Thyroid - iodine and selenium vitamin d - a healthy lifeguard in August has a vitamin plasma of 80 ng/ml. Vitamin D has autoimmune moderating effect and mood stabilizing. I require 10,000 IU a day to maintain it. My son, an ocean lifeguard in Florida,...

    could be iodine deficiency. A sheet of Nori has 42 mcg iodine. Only a urine test can give an accurate indication of iodine intake. Or save the money on testing and eat 1 to 3 sheets of nori a day for a while and gauge the improvement. I found it quickly affected my upper body muscle tone. My prostate hypertrophy (diagnosed at age 21) improved when I started...

    The only noodles I ate for a long time was Cellophane Noodles (AKA Mung Bean or Glass Noodles). Usually in no salt added chicken broth with sliced mushrooms, scallion, shrimp and tamari sauce. Now I eat Ronzoni gluten-free Thin Spaghetti in sauce I make from Tuttoroso no salt added crushed tomato, oregano, garlic and sometimes mushrooms, browned chopped meat...

    congratulations on creating a gut environment that lactobacillus is happy in. Most mammals after weaning do not make enough lactase to process large amounts of milk. Some lose the ability to create endogenous lactase entirely and some have a genetic persistence to continue drinking the larger amounts we drink as larger than infants. Fortunately, as a species...

    B vitamin deficiencies, which is common in Celiac Disease. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy. Everything you need to know about scurvy Clinical efficacy of vitamin B in the treatment of mouth ulcer: a systematic review and meta-analysis "In summary, both vitamin B alone or vitamin B combined with pantothenic acid are effective in treating mouth ulcers...

    For depression, try raising your vitamin D intake to target 80 ng/ml. It takes me 10,000 iu a day to maintain it. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I was always depressed until I increased D. At 7000 a day, nothing. For anxiety try 5 mg Lithium Orotate. It reduces the intensity of the need to act. In Texas a study compared the incidence of groundwater Lithium...

    Believe it. Multiple deficiencies, each with its own symptoms. There is a thing called High Calorie Malnutrition. The Role of Thiamin in High Calorie Malnutrition It is estimated that less than 10% on the SAD diet get enough Choline. Prehistoric man ate sodium to potassium ratio was about 1:11. Currently we are around 1:1. The WHO and many countries...

    According to the Merck Manual, the first step in treating Celiac Disease is Gluten Free Diet and reverse any essential vitamin and mineral deficiency. Are you eating or supplementing enough Choline? The RDA is the equivalent of 3 large eggs or 15 ounces of lean top round steak or 10 cups of cooked broccoli every day. The Tolerable upper limit would be...

    These medications block the DAO enzyme: Interesting that the same deficiencies found in Celiac Disease keep popping up in other "unrelated" diseases. Studies have found that trying this diet can be important in confirming a diagnosis of the intolerance. It may also improve the symptoms. However, a person should not have a low histamine diet...

    Hello, @iwant2believe, First, I'll just say that there are industries spending tons of money to convince you not to believe. You are lucky to have found a doctor who listens and takes you seriously. Can't breathe? There's a pill for that and you can dance your children off to the school bus. High blood sugar? There's an app for that. On first read...

    Died with a Hawaiin role in hand in hand.😇 It's a shame, he survived one lung out, triple bypass combo, and 15 years later anther tenth of the remaining lung for a biopsy that turned out to be wood fiber. Only to be taken out by a leaky gut. @Flash1970 Thank you. My son was diagnosed when he weaned in 1976, and I bloated up in 2012.

    Could also be Non Celiac Gluten/Wheat Sensitivity. The diagnosis is confirmed by ruling out celiac disease then trial GFD showing improvement followed by Gluten Challange with return of symptoms. Prevalence is 10% vs. only 1% diagnosed Celiac Disease.
