    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...

    Is that the source behind the 'seers' in Greek history?

    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.

    How much of what are you taking? Other meds involved? You need well over the minimum 100% DV to compensate for the malabsorption. For example: the RDA for choline is 450 mg, the tolerable upper limit is 3500 mg. The upper limit is the equivalent of 24 large, hard-boiled eggs or 56 cups of cooked broccoli. It will affect your metabolism of fats, cell membranes...

    My brother handed me a copy of Wheatbelly the last time I saw him essentially on his death bed a few weeks before he died. Six months earlier just before surgery to fix a stoma between his intestine and bladder I had begged him to start GFD. I'll never know if it was a joke or admitting I was right.
  21. Wheatwacked
    Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, especially choline, folate and iodine are common in pregnancy. Tack that on to malabsorption due to undiagnosed celiac disease and you've got the perfect storm.

    I've noticed it too. If you post another reply before someone else has, it saves your previous post. Simply remember to delete it before continuing,

    Welcome Heather. There has been research done on epilepsy and celiac disease. "Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. celiac disease is over 2 times more prevalent in patients with epilepsy compared to the general population. Conclusion: Patients with epilepsy of unknown aetiology should be...

    Small red beans, pinto beans and garbanzo beans are a good source of fiber, protein and potassium. Try eating a cup a day for a week or two and you will feel better.

    I mentioned before that insufficient DAO is a cause of excessive histamine.
