    Have a safe flight. It will all sort out.

    Good enough. I did not realized that you had already had good results with it. That's the same reason I take prednisone: it works, and despite the dire warnings of my doctor I do better with than without.

    Glad you got the spreadsheet working. 100%DV is the minimum a healthy person needs to maintain health, as determined by numerous commitees. We with malabsorbtion or consumption deficiencies need more to replenish and heal. Even though different countries have slightly different official numbers, they are all close. In the US the FDA requires that the nutritional...

    I went in circles back then also. The trick is to download SR28ABXL.Zip (2.9 MB)-Excel file format. Save it. Right click choose EXTRACT ALL. It opens it as ABBREV.xlsx. Then save it. It seems like just clicking should automatically extract it but it doesn't. Wasted hours. Text files open just by clicking but it seems like spread sheet files you have to...

    I am 6'2", 170 pounds, so I used the RDA for adult male over 50. Mostly it doesn't matter too much. The numbers are averages. Since a female is smaller the rda's usually are smaller and the RDA for children is for the most part adjusted for size. I use the professional fact sheets for the rda and upper limits. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Potassium...

    Time to stop guessing. Can you weigh and write down everything you eat for a day. I have a spreadsheet I created for myself that calculates the nutrients in my food and compares it to the RDA so I know exactly how much of what I need to supplement or eat more of every day compared to what the NIH says a healthy person needs. It is surprisingly different than...

    "However, people with a rare inherited disorder called pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration can’t use pantothenic acid properly. This disorder can lead to symptoms of pantothenic acid deficiency....Pantothenic acid deficiency is very rare in the United States. Severe deficiency can cause numbness and burning of the hands and feet, headache, e...

    What is your plasma vitamin D? I mentioned previously that there can be an inverse relation with TSH, ie low D causes high TSH. I also know from personal experience that raising D can relieve long term depression. I take 10,000 iu a day for the past 7 years and mine is only 87 ng/ml. My son, biopsy diagnosed as an infant (45 yr old now) works full time on...

    Family history, possible DH, and pregnant. A gluten free diet would be a wise choice. Keep in mind that gluten free foods are not fortified. Get plenty of folate (chick peas, small red beans and pinto beans are a good source. And plenty of choline. liver, eggs and steak or supplements; to prevent neural tube defects, in addition to other vitamins and minerals...

    Lots of money being spent to keep you eating gluten. I think I read that wheat is the #1 traded comodity in the world. Gluten containing foods are often "fortified". Just eating a gluten free Standard American Diet will solve your Celiac symptoms, but also open you to dietary vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can mimic your Celiac symptoms.

    I had both the pain on deep breaths, like my lung was stuck, and a pain between clavicles usually if I let myself get hungry. Both cleared after starting GFD, but I did not notice how long after.

    In seventh grade, when the group I walked home from school with stopped at the local Soda Fountain, I usually chose to wait outside, shivering in the cold, even the snow, smoking cigarettes. At 63 when I started GFD it did more for my breathing than all my failed attempts to quit smoking. Once I didn't smoke for an entire year. All of the smokers in my family...

    "To the contrary, current evidence suggests that improvement in vitamin D status reduces the risk for hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction." Open Original Shared Link Maybe it's my conspiracy mindset speaking but it seems like there is a hidden agenda to keep vitamin D levels low, dispite increasing research to the contrary. I was surprised...

    "[Fortified yeast] contains many B vitamins: One tablespoon of nutritional yeast contains 30–180% of the RDI for B vitamins.

    Keeping in mind I am not a doctor. The swollen lymph nodes on your right side and the lump in your right breast, which may also be simply a swollen lymph node, fits with your high end of normal WBC, neutrophils and lymphocites possibly indicating a low grade infectection. The imagining ordered by the OB should help clarify. "The following can excessively...

    With two children diagnosed with Celiac Disease, either you or their father have the genes and with positive blood work that sort of clinches it. Depression and anxiety supported by deficient vitamin D you need to seriously supplement vitamin D to raise it up from 20.5 ng/ml. Starting in 1984 I had Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) that kicked every...

    No wonder I loved spaghetti and meatballs so much as a kid. I always ate seconds but it was for more sauce. Also found tomato soup to be soothing.

    Thiamine which participates in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy is necessary for the process of assimilation of proteins and fats. It is involved in the release of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, indispensable in the digestion of proteins (not only thiamine but all B-vitamins have carrier functions in the pathways leading from carbohydrates,...

    Agreed. I am however repeating what the NIH Dept of Dietary Supplements states. The minimum daily intake for adults over the age of 19, from food sources, is 150 mcg a day and they recommend not exceeding 1100 mcg. Iodine is just one of many essential nutrients. From Dr Wentz: "Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine" Response...

    Yes. Your goal is to improve your health. You already know you are sick. Apparently the only accurate measurement of iodine intake status is urinary and even there it is variable. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3637997/ Supplementing iodine might improve your condition. The RDA is 150 mcg minimum to 1100 mcg upper limit. Unfortunately...

    If he is testing for genetic markers for Celiac Disease, your Gluten free diet is not a factor. If testing for antibodies and you are successfully navigating GFD the results will be negative for Celiac. If you are Non Celiac Gluten Sensistive all the tests will be negative for Celiac Disease and you have to go by your response to GFD. With Celiac affecting...

    That link is acetlycholine which is made from the choline you ingest that is absorbed in the small intestine (think malabsorbtion from Celiac Disease so some one with blunted villi will be more choline deficient than the general public). In the US most people only eat one half to two thirds of the Recommended Intake. The major food source is liver, eggs and...

    As a kid I wasn't a fan. An unconcious response to gluten? These gluten free oreos are awesome.
