    I kept a nutrient log for about two years. A sample http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes.net/ Like everyone I assumed if I chose healthy GFD foods I was good to go, but I kept hitting plateaus. First was vitamin D and iodine, trial based on my symptoms. I added one at a time. Later I started the spreadsheet and followed NIH recommended RDAs.
  2. Wheatwacked
    Everyone is different. Some say six months and up. I think it depends on your food choices beyond just GFD. Celiac is a disease of malabsorption of the 10 or so vitamins and minerals absorbed in the small intestine, so you need to replenish what you are low on and get enough to develop reserves.

    What I Supplement: Thiamin(B1) 500 mg, Niacin(B3) 500 mg, B complex; Pantothenic Acid (B5) 1000 mg; Phosphatidyl Choline 840 mg; Lithium 5 mg; Dhea 100 mg; vitamin C 1000 mg; Calcium 1000 mg; vitamin D3 250 mcg (10,000 IU); 5 mg lithium orotate; 15 ml Cod Liver Oil (vitamin A and omega 3); 3 sheets certified organic Nori (RDA iodine), 2 oz almonds (RDA vitamin...

    Aha. Still, something in your food choices since gluten free has resulted in cold feet. There are fortifications added to milled grains that you may not be getting enough of now. Almost 95 percent of the white flour in the United States is enriched with iron and four of the B vitamins: thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and folic acid.

    I buy each vitamin by itself. That way I can gauge its individual effect. Cost wise I think it may even be cheaper, because I am not paying for some exotic super nutrient or combo that markets well but does not help. I know there are lots of studies on bioavailability, but they all go into the stomach where they are processed at pH 2 and then the resulting...

    Do you mind sharing those test results and homocysteine if you have it? I've had some good results recently from 500 mg Thiamine supplement on my cold feet issues. Increasing calories (but not carbohydrates seems to help) I prefer Daisy Cottage Cheese. Tapioca starch has a high glycemic index which can spike blood sugar which is known to cause...

    Yes. Modern wheat was created through mutagenesis, a type of hybridization pre-GMO technology and is exempt from GMO oversight. Norman Borlaug received a Nobel Prize for it in 1970. I do believe in better living through chemistry, but sometimes profit trumps safety.

    We conclude that the vaccination response, measured as SARS-CoV-2 IgG concentration, does not depend on 25(OH)D status in healthy adults with moderate vitamin D status. Open Original Shared Link Does not seem like anyone has looked at its effect on people with low or deficient vitamin D status who are vaccinated. Do you know your vitamin D...

    If it doesn't come in a box or bag, it is likely gluten free.

    You have your answer. The issue here is your health and what makes you feel better; not whether the doctor agrees with you. As a fact out of left field, the Icelandic Eskimos never had diabetes until they started eating a "western diet" in the 1950's. Wheat is stripped of most of its nutrients in milling (except gluten) and most countries have fortification...

    Food goes into the stomach where it is mixed with hydrochloric acid. Unless you are taking something to override the feedback (PPIs). Intraluminal pH of the human gastrointestinal tract Onions have lots of Sulphur. Sulphur is an antibiotic that was responsible for saving lives before penicillin. Onions: Health benefits, health risks & nutrition...

    I have always believed in it. Mankind managed to survive without double blind studies on what to eat for a long time. But that was before advertising, peer pressure and GMO and chromosome manipulation of wheat. For it to work you have to first rebuild your reserves of all the essential vitamins and minerals, so you are responding to needs as opposed to cravings...

    Did you try this? Put this diet in the spreadsheet and see what pops. Researchers found that milk from grass-fed cows had 147 percent more omega-3s than conventional milk and 52 percent more than organic milk. By the way, a sign of iodine deficiency is reduced sweating to preserve iodine. Dairy is a source of iodine. Grass Fed Dairy: Two birds...

    300 Signs and Symptoms of Celiac Disease Go over this list and see if it changes your calculations. Certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies can also be indicative. celiac disease is a disease of malabsorption.

    Gliaden X breaks down the accidental gluten in the stomach. Banner above. Others say it works well. I keep my vitamin D at 80 ng/ml and at that level I have had gluten, but not been "gluttoned", though at 50 ng/ml in 2019 I would feel the effects, mostly sinus congestion and itchy eyes. Benadryl did not help me. celiac disease causes malabsorption...

    I do understand her inability to tolerate anything. I spent a week NPO in the hospital when I had acute pancreatitis. I am glad they are addressing the potassium deficiency but sorry to hear they are not the choline. Perhaps adding a phosphatidyl choline pill with the thyroxine? Better than nothing. Hopefully the folks at Stanford will help. Keep us updated...

    It is important to evaluate for diet for deficiencies. Have you seen a nutritionist familiar with Celiac?

    Budesonide is a potent corticosteroid with low systemic bioavailability due to an extensive first pass liver metabolism. Why not consider Prednisolone. Better bioavailability and much cheaper. I paid $75 for 360 5 mg tablets last December. Often prescribed for refractory celiac disease, but not as profitable to pharmacy. For some medical insurance there...

    Low or deficient vitamin D is a common finding among Celiac Disease and other autoimmune diseases. "A study by researchers at UNMC shows vitamin D as an add-on therapy could provide some relief for chronic hives, a condition with no cure and few treatment options....Researchers found after just one week, the severity of patients' symptoms decreased by...

    Not enough potassium in the diet. Diarrhea can cause excess potassium loss which is why the World Health Organization, and many countries consider potassium status a nutrient of interest. The US 100% DV for potassium is 4.7 grams (4700 mg) daily, while most countries use 3 grams a day for the RDA. While plasma levels of potassium are regularly checked...

    What's nice is the Heritage style ends up the size of a real sandwich, not something made on melba toast.

    People who keep kosher know how. Meat from milk or gluten from gluten free. They have to be even better because of their supervisor.
  25. Wheatwacked
    With Celiac Disease you want to replenish vitamins so the target intake should be somewhere more than 100% DV and less than the RDA safe upper limit. It isn't easier but you reap the rewards. A food log with vitamins and minerals content. It does not include iodine or lithium. http://doodlesnotes.net/index3.html What I Supplement: Thiamin...
