    It is no one's business why I choose gluten free. I appreciate anyone who eats gluten free, with or without a medical license. The more people ask for gluten free, the more familiar the staff becomes with the concept and the more likely it is to actually be gluten free and not just a catchphrase taught at the 15 minute pre shift meeting. You don't have to...

    You are four months into a change you should follow forever. There will be plateaus and roadblocks. Pay attention to your vitamin and mineral intake, the blood tests for many only show current plasma status, not cellular reserves. Most Americans eat less than the recommended amounts of Potassium and Choline. It helps to write down what you eat. I have two...

    Was it helpful and what do you consider a megadose? It's been a week since increasing my iodine intake to 3 sheets a day of nori. Today I got 8 hours sleep staight through. My usual is 2 1/2 hour batches. Vitamin D has an antidepressant effect in common with Duloxetine. Lactic acid build up could fit with some toxin caused by eating quantity. It...

    So you know something is wrong and Duloxetine partially helps to attenuate. Progress.😃

    Poor food choices over time use up our bile salts and lead to all kinds of digestive problems from acid reflux, gas, and bloating to constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and diverticulitis. Chloine is very effective in restoring GI tract health and improving digestion...Choline is considered a bile salt and it plays a pivotal role in the digestion of fats...

    Operation a success. Unfortunately the patient died. That is actually good news as far as GFD. Is the Duluxitine helping? Any success with the eliminations? Keep working the essentials you are low on. Iodine is not in the SR28 database. RDA is 125 to 1100 mcg. Last week I increased my daily intake to 3 sheets of nori a day and there has been improvement...

    I had the same. It eventually went away. I can't say which specific vitamin did it but was on GFD and after I raised potassium and folate and fiber intake (beans and rolled oats) and choline (supplement or three eggs a day) and B5 supplement. Guessing the red blood is irritation in the colon and the slimy thing is mucous to counteract the irritation. Hasn...

    And there is the addiction in action. not eating enought gluten caused a withdrawal symptom of anorexia, return to gluten the cravings return. It was either Dr Fuhman or Dr Davis that referred to this hunger as Toxic Hunger.

    keep up with the vitamin D. At higher blood plasma levels around 70 ng/ml it helps with depression, and attenuates the autoimmune responses. I have been taking 10,000 IU a day for over 6 years and finally got to 87 ng/ml in September. It is safe. Three article worth reading about vitamin D. https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(15...

    It is addictive. https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/how-i-overcame-my-gluten-addiction/ After a month on a gluten free diet GFD you will wonder when the pain went away. If you go back to gluten the pain will come back. Because of the damage done to your small intestine you get malabsorbtion syndrome, where even if you eat adequate vitamins and minerals...

    Try switching to 100% Pasture fed, grain free milk. It has more omega 3, like the old days, which reduces inflamation whereas what we now consider regular milk has more omega 6 (inflamation) due to the feed additives used to increase volume and milkfat content. I can drink up to 24 ounces regular milk but sometimes it bothers me. Pasture fed I can drink...

    Pushing the definition, one could say that people who are GFD are not neurotypical because we don't worship the wheat god. I think Jean Duane PhD makes that point in
  13. Wheatwacked
    A neurotypical person is an individual who thinks, perceives, and behaves in ways that are considered to be "normal" by the general population.
  14. Wheatwacked
    Their Heritage style is about normal size.

    More stuff to look at: Are you getting enough choline and how is your plasma homocysteine. You need about 3 eggs or 15 ounces of lean steak a day, or 8 cups of broccolli for the RDA of choline. Choline processes fat through the liver and recycles (together with folate) homocysteine. High homocysteine is an indicator of clogged arteries (atherosclerosis...

    Could the more drawn out from the fats and proteins be from carbs mixed in? Small red beans and plain rolled oats are good for fiber and potassium. 100% DV for potassium listed on nutrition labels in the US is 4700 mg an FDA ruling passed in 2016 full effect Jan 2021; dispite that the RDA on the NIH healthsheet still states 3400 mg. Budget cuts so no update...

    Is that with the Duluxetine? Is it more calories or more volume that seems to trigger? Use supplements to compensate for what you don't eat enough. If calories is it carbs, protein or fats? If volume eat less more times. On a irrelevant note my younger brother (65) mentioned he has started having shooting pains in his feet, two weeks after a gout attack....

    If you can't eat eggs, supplement with choline around 1000 mg a day. RDA is 550 mg. The food plan I posted has 55 grams of fiber mostly from the oatmeal and beans. And the fiber feeds the benificial bacterial in your gut. You have to eat, why not eat the nutrition you need to recover. You might look at Dr. Fuhrman's Six Week Plan from his book Eat...

    I am sorry to hear you and hubby are not well. I wish you well. I was my wife's Kathy caregiver through stage 4b ovarian cancer. She passed when I was 55 and am 70 now, my son had celiac disease as an infant and I started GFD at 63 so I've been rather obsessed with this for a while. Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorbtion. It's starts with an autoimmune...

    Sorry, I said that poorly and did not mean any offense.

    It's the Western Medicine mindset. "Not feeling well, yes we have a pill for that." It is slowly becoming clear to me that each of the vitamins and minerals has a primary function, however our chromosomes were programmed with if-then clauses to compensate for environmental variables. If enough choline (liver, eggs, red meat) is not available our cells...

    I had TMJ for a number of years. Eventually it went away. To be honest, I don't know why but suspect it was the Standard American Diet. Once you start Prolia it is dangerous to ever stop. Can Supplements Help Manage or Prevent Osteoporosis? https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/osteoporosis-supplements

    This is the meal plan I came up with to get all the vitamins and minerals from food everyday. It is a minimum, so you can add anything you feel like (gluten free) to be satiated. Supplement vitamin D. It's only 4% RDA. Calcium is 96%. Niacin 81%. Everything else >125% min RDA. 2600 calories. The coffee is for my ADD, milk and ice cream for calcium. Parsley...

    I was an alcoholic from 1984 to 2014. If there was alcohol I had to keep drinking til it was gone. If there wasn't any, I had to get some. One week after starting GFD I found that a) I could take a few sips but I no longer had to finish it all; the addiction was gone, and b) I don't like the stuff in the first place. Messes with my head. Apparently it was...

    Toaster over. In mine it takes two or three repeats, like it used to with rye toast. often I let it defrost on the counter first.
