    Can't argue with that. Many commonly used drugs can inhibit the production of diamine oxidase (DAO). Many others can liberate stored endogenous histamine. It can also be an inherited trait. Oddly, Benadryl may be one of those that does both. Drugs that inhibit DAO and or release endogenous stored histamine The DAO enzyme is dependent on vitamin...

    Yes. Just like rinsing the dishes before putting in the dishwasher. It softens the plaque and kills the germs, then the brush polishes it away. Still have all my teeth at 71, except for one molar that broke when an old filling failed and I procrastinated. It was pulled and that extra space allowed lower teeth to shift. My bite improved and solved my TMJ,...

    How to Remove lectins from Beans and legumes

    When you increased milk intake you also increased your intake of omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 increases inflammation and clotting. That's its job. Have you tried 100% Grass fed dairy or meat? The supplements used to increase milk in dairy and to fatten beef raises omega 6 content. Fortunately that is not the case with plant based foods. The issue is not that...

    Beans would be about equal to cheese for calories. Nutrition for Kidney Beans "Well, omega-6 and omega-3, stars of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, play countering roles, with omega 6 helping to provide inflammation and blood-clotting, such as in the treatment of wounds, while omega-3 reduces inflammation and is an anti-coagulant" Plant-Based...

    "A healthy diet should consist of roughly one to four times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids.[1] On average, the omega-6:3 ratio for grass-fed cattle is 2:1, while the ratio for grain-fed cattle is 9:1."

    How are you feeling on the gluten free diet?

    It is not as much what we eat as what we don't eat. Most Americans do not eat enough vitamin D, iodine, choline, potassium and eat too much salt. We have high homocysteine and low B12 because we don't get enough choline, so we use folate and B12 to pick up the slack. Then to complicate matters wheat products are fortified, and gluten free processed food is...

    Back in 1970 this was diagnosed as Kwashiorkor, protein deficiency.

    Lack of choline can cause bloating. If you are not eating eggs or red meat you are surely deficient. It is needed to process fats in the liver. Also works with folate to lower homycysteine and lower risk of cardiovascular inflammation and also is linked to fetal neural tube defects like spinabifida. 90% of the mitochondria membrane is phosphatidyl choline...

    This may sound weird but try eating four oranges (about 12 ounces peeled). It just made my eyes teary in a good way.

    This is an older thread. To answer your question, around 48% have some of these genes and only 1% of the total population are diagnosed with active Celiac Disease. Many people have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and have none of these genes.

    Welcome to the forum Maureen. The answer to your first question, "has anyone else?" is easy. Yes. You are not alone. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption. The villi are damaged by an autoimmune response to gluten so vitamin deficiencies is the norm, depending on how long. And that vitamin deficiency caused by Celiac Disease has led to your diagnosis...

    Is it the casein or is it the palmitic fatty acid (C16:0) used in commercial dairies to increase milk fat and volume which increases the omega 6 content of milk? "Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid whose blood concentration is elevated in obese patients. This causes inflammatory responses" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31363792/#:~:text=Palmitic...

    Taking any meds or supplements? Hot shower helps the longest. It got really bad on BP med Amlodipine. I still have the problem and it may be the copious amount of coffee I drink (in denial about that). I rarely take out my contacts and noticed that once I started GFD there was no more protein buildup. Vision Clarity Eye Drops works well for me...

    Parsley, red leaf lettuce, spinach. The RDA is minimum 120 micrograms (10 grams fresh parsley) with no upper limit set. Low levels of vitamin K can raise the risk of uncontrolled bleeding.

    Instead of toothpaste (an abrasive) I rinse with a tartar control mouthwash then brush with a cheap electric toothbrush.

    Rebound tenderness is an indicator of appendicitis. As a kid I used to check myself all the time. Still have my appendix.

    A ten-ounce bottle of liquid magnesium citrate costs <$2.00. One ounce has about 100 mg of magnesium (11% of 1.75) grams. Added to a glass of water it tastes like lemonade (I especially like the cherry flavor). The RDA is 420 mg magnesium with no upper limit from food sources. Web MD: magnesium citrate oral

    Regarding vitamin D, I have been taking 10,000 IU a day since 2015. In 2019 my blood plasma was 47 ng/ml. In Aug 2021, 87ng/ml and Jan 2022 it was 80. My 42-year-old son, diagnosed with Celiac Disease as an infant in 1976 recently was tested as low for vitamin D. Here's the kicker: He works year-round in the sun as an ocean lifeguard in Southern Florida. ...

    My takeaway of this study is that it is not so much the alkalinity itself of the diet, but the increased minerals found in those foods.

    Budesonide may help control your symptoms, but it will not cure your condition. https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a608007.html Budesonide is a delayed release steroid, so the theory as I understand it of using the open capsule in refractory celiac disease by opening the cap more of the steroid is localized at the small intestine and less...
