    Your symptoms remind me of those my wife had. She was diagnosed with endometriosis in her mid twenties. My wife was a nurse, but it took finding the top specialist in our region to finally diagnose. That was in 1976. Also, you should get screened for ovarian cancer. Like Celiac Disease, doctors seem to be in denial and the symptoms are often vague and...

    "measuring nutrient intake makes more sense than measuring deficiencies. " Glad to see professionals researching what I figured out for myself several years ago.

    The first vitamin I supplemented after GFD was vitamin D at 250 mcg (10,000 IU). By 1984 I had Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) starting in early September and it never got better. In 1995 I had a prescription for Zanax. Took one dose. I twitched and could not sit for four hours. My depression got really worse after my wife passed in 2005. I started the...

    This is the list of supplements that brought me back to health because I was not eating enough.The list after that is what I eat now, still taking most of the supplements. I know it is a lot. Do you have a hot plate and fridge? The vitamin D and Lithium help with mood. It takes less than a week to kick in. This is NOT burn out your brain high dose lithium...

    Did it work?

    Hopefully your test from imupro will have answers. It seems to me that everything you are experiencing comes back to Celiac. You eat lots of meats so you should not be B12 deficient. Yet you respond well to sublingual B12 bypassing the small intestine. Malabsorption syndrome caused by Celiac is plausible. Your other symptoms are also common with undiagnosed...

    Son was diagnosed, biopsy, in1976 at six months old. At the time the doctor said my son has ADD and predicted that in kindergarden the teachers will ask us to put him on Ritalin. He started eating gluten again (we did not know better) at 5 yrs. Sure enough a few months after starting kindergarden we got a request from the school for a meeting. The school...

    I use Witch Hazel for my ears, although I do take 5 mg prednisolone daily for pain (fibromyalsia?) My lifelong dandruff cleared with GFD. Tinnitus is a b%$@#. Keep a food log, you might find patterns.

    "cyanocobalamin is the form of B12 most used in supplements because it’s the cheapest" https://www.justvitamins.co.uk/blog/cyanocobalamin-versus-methylcobalamin/ Once your gut heals, if you eat enough animal based foods with B12, you should be ok. Your advantage is that you already recognize the difference between enough and not enough B12. Trust y...

    ...and the iron defiency could be from low D. Which could be a result of malabsorbtion from Celiac disease which could be worsened by low D. Vicious circle worth investigaing. No, to gluten in rapeseed oil or dextrose. Maybe, perhaps, someone grabbed the flour instead of the dextrose in your batch. They are both white powder. More likely there is wheat as...

    While you are waiting for the specialist appointment try increasing vitamin D. It may shrink the fibroids (you really want to avoid surgery and there does not appear to be any other medical solution), it will help your other autoimmune sypmtoms. Try to get tested for vitamin D plasma level. (hint: insurance companies don't think it neccessary so doctors tend...

    On a personal experience, I got progressively more lactose intolerant until I gave up milk entirely, but I like whole milk in my coffee, and I drink a lot of coffee. After GFD and a few batches of home made dill pickles, I was able to drink milk again. But late at night it would upset my stomach. That's when I switched to 100% pasture fed milk and now can...

    Totally missed the logic there. Thanks. I did look for the research about benificial bacteria supplying most of our adult lactase but it was not to be found again. It was several years ago that I read it. In the meantime, it's not your grandfathers milk anymore. The gist is that supplementing with palmitic acid (C:16) increases milk and milk fat by about...

    by the way, it's been around forever and I don't know of any lawsuits. Used to watch, with my grandmother, commercials for it on black and white TV on the Gary Moore show.

    I grew up when old people took Geritol, so was only mildly surprised when I joined the "Geritol Generation" at how much it helped, but only took it for two bottles. Unfortunately most multivitamins have folic acid, E and A and only a small percentage of the RDA. Geritol Multi at least has 100% of most. You could try a bottle as proof of concept.

    Humans are the only mammals that tolerate milk after infancy. Many theories on why. It used to be said that the benificial bacteria in our gut supplements our small amount of endogenous lactase. The SAD diet is not good for the good bacteria. Rather than improve the diet some researcher say it ain't so. So they sell probiotics and prebiotics. The fatty acid...

    Keeping in mind that I take more than a dozen different vitamins each day and each vitamin has a different function, some overlapping, my perception is that vitamin D improved my attitude and gave me hope. Iodine improved my muscle tone, and vitamine B5 (pantothenic acid) plus choline improved my energy level. More research is indicating that D plasma levels...

    In 1976, they told my wife to take valium because her stress was the cause in my 6 month old son. She found the right specialist and after a six month diet of Nutramigen, by one year old he was thriving on GFD.

    Before blood tests endoscopy was the Gold Standard.

    That's because often the patient's symptoms are blamed on stress if at all aknowledged. Many are led to believe it is simply "getting old" and "normal for some to feel this way. People go years being misdiagnosed with this, that and the other thing; only to find in the end it was gluten and the resultant malnutrition all along. Not eveyone of course but enough...

    It is all about what we eat, the vitamins we don't get enough of,, either from malabsorption or just poor diet choices, the omega 6 to omega 3 ratio. All the B vitamins are all important because they have short storage periods. Thiamine is B1 because it was the first identied. Long term poor diet causes other deficiencies. Folic acid increases the risk...

    The good news is that you don't have colon cancer. You say you've always had IBS. A year ago when it got worse had you taken antibiotics for something? Aside from imodium, other meds? Celiac, Chrohns, IBS, a change in you gut microbes are all possibilities if you need to name it. They all have the same cure. Diet and replenisment of multiple vitamins and...

    Did this happen before GFD? Avoid low fat foods. Alka Selzer helps. Try to eat more frequently, eat things that make your tummy happy. This article might be helpful.

    Unless it helped, I hope her doctor discontinued the dicyclomine. I see why knitty kitty felt like a zombie, it shuts down acetlycholine the chemical responsible for nerve cells talking to each other. In scary terms it has the same effect, albeit much milder, as nerve gas. Treatment was a success but the patient failed. Uncooked vegetables tend to slow down...
