    you can develope a dependency on Afrin if you use it alot, that's why they say short term.

    Atrophy of the nooks and crannies in the small intestines causes malabsorption syndrome. Common deficiencies are fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, folate, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. Potassium is a "nutrient of concern" in most countries because we don't eat enough of it. Diahrea, a common comorbidity with Celiac Disease causes...

    I think it would be wise, before starting an antifungal that may damage your liver, to see a dermatologist and get a definitive diagnosis. A consult with a nutritionist familiar with Celiac Disease would also seem appropriate. It is possible that you got it from someone other than Missy. That seems to have been a quick assumption by the ER doctor, who...

    Try 100% Pasture Fed milk. The feed and the additives others , including organic farmers, give the cows to increase milk fat and quantity, completely changes the lipid and protein profile. Pasture fed has more omega 3. Plus it tastes better, like the milk I drank as a kid. Home Fermented foods will increase your lactase levels if you have lactose intolerance...

    Raw vegies slows peristalsis. Fiber absorbs the bile which is made from cholesterol so the liver converts more cholesterol into bile, possibly lowering your total cholesterol.

    Two more things you might try. 60 grams (2 oz) almonds has 100% rda of vitamin E and 347 calories. One tsp Cod Liver Oil fulfills all your vitamin A and has omega 3 at 40 calories.

    I felt the same. This link http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes.net/ is to a spreadsheet I created a July 2020 of what I eat and the nutrient values of each calcutated to quantity. I've only posted data since July 2021. It helped me because I calculted daily totals. Do not know yet how to make it interactive, but it will give you an idea of whats in what you...

    Not at all. What you have now is something that many people are envious of. The holy grail of weight loss. It takes a while for your appistat to readjust. Maybe more fatty foods like avocado. When I was younger I could out eat everyone and not gain weight. A properly operating digestive system will take what you need and leave the rest.

    Looks good the way you are. Watch more TV reruns pre 1965 and set the screen aspect to 4:3 when appropriate. A 4:3 show watched on a 16:9 screen makes everyone fatter. Some stations adjust, some do not. Notice how skinny everyone looks compared to our current body image. Buy new clothes to fit your new image.

    I solved my lactose issue by making my own fermented pickles to increase my lactobacillus. Most of our lactase comes from bacteria in our gut that are overwhelmed by the bad guys and antibiotics. Our denovo production of lactase is really only enough for infants. Daytime milk was ok but I still would wake in the night with stomach upset if I drank milk before...

    After years of undiagnosed Celiac caused malabsorbtion, you may still be deficient in vitamins and minerals. Unless you focus on them it may take years to replenish. Here is an article that looks at vitamins as a cause of weight gain. It seems to be written for people who can't lose weight, but his list includes vitamins frequently seen in Celia Disease malabsorption...

    "Normal range", according to NIH, is only enough to prevent rickets and osteomyelitis. All other benefits are disregarded as insuffient evidence. Our species evolved spending most of the day in sunlight. Only after the industrial revolution did it become normal to spend our daylight hours indoors. There is no profit in reducing disease by increasing vitamin...

    The RDA for vitamin D is based solely on maintaining the minimum serum level >20 ng/ml a to avoid rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults ignoring other benefits of vitamin D. From the Journal of the National Cancer Institute:

    Do you know your vitamin D status? These articles are a little wordy, but worth the read. Don't assume your doctors are aware of this. "25(OH)D level is associated with biochemical and histological features in PBC. Pre-treatment vitamin D status is independently related to subsequent response to UDCA. Our results suggest that vitamin D status may have...

    In 2018 my vitamin D was 44.7 ng/ml and my AST 23 IU/L. Aug 2021 my vitamin D is 86.9 and AST is 12, ALT is 10. I've been taking 250 mcg vitamin D daily since 2015. So seeing others here with high alt made me look. Also my homocystein is 18 mcmole/liter which I suspect is due to supplementation of choline and pantothenic acid (B5) in addition to B-complex...

    Do you get hungry? Other than your concern about getting "too skinny" do you feel well? Gluten has a appitite stimulating effect so it may take time to get over it. Did your professional base the diet on reducing calories by going low fat or reducing glycemic load through low carbohydrates? Does it target the Celiac or the prediabetes? Recent research on...

    How do we explain the depression, nausea, headaches, lightheadedness, dehydration, emotional outbursts, intensive wheat cravings, bloating, constipation, even intensification of joint pain, effects that are not likely attributable to hypoglycemia or poor mobilization of energy? Delayed ramp-up of fatty acid oxidation is indeed part of the reason for the phenomena...

    "In case you were wondering, it doesn’t matter if you’re getting D2 or D3, and the sunlight-generated kind isn’t better than the nutritional variety. “The body can use each perfectly fine,” says Dr. Insogna. " https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/vitamin-d-myths-debunked After 2 years of 250 mcg (10,000 IU) a day of vitamin D3 my blood level was 48 n...

    Whenever I get cravings for something, it is usually because of some essential nutrient missing in my diet. Been that way all my life, but when I was young I was scoffed at and called a picky eater. Gluten confounds that because it is so addictive. For depression try 10,000 iu (250 mcg) a day of vitamin D3. You want to raise your plasma level to around...

    An earlier article on celiac.com regarding the subject. Vitamin B12 and Celiac Disease - Celiac.com

    B5, Pantothenic Acid is overlooked and not in many B complex formulations in a useful amount. It is the precurser to CoA, an essential part of the Krebbs Cycle, the creation of energy in all living cells. If folate is insufficient, B5 steps in to reduce homocystein levels.

    The problem is that on a Gluten Free Diet, you are still not adressing the nutritional deficiencies inherent in our diet. Eating gluten free you are eliminating the toxin that causes malapsorbtion, but not refilling. Consider a leaky coffee cup. You fix the leak but the cup is still half empty until you refill it. Until you replenish your low levels you will...

    How low is "a little low"? Did any doctor suggest vitamin supplementation? It can be a symptom of vitamin deficiency as a result of Celiac disease. After all Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption; and the Standard American Diet is a diet deficient of numerous vitamins and minerals. Below is the list of vitamins I take everyday...
