Here is the link.  These people are sounding the alarm!  You must get a blood test to see how low you are.  Some people say, Oh I am taking 1000IU per day.  Well, I needed 50,000 2x a week for months to get up to normal.  Years ago an internist told me to take 400 IU.  What a joke!  I would not be as healthy as I am if I had not acted years ago.  https://www.grassrootshealth.net/  Please tell others about this, celiac or not.

I have been nagging friends and family to get Vit. D testing for years.  I really feel American doctors are missing a critical part of staying healthy.  The media call it the "sunshine vitamin" so people think if they are in the sun they will absorb it.  Not everyone does absorb it.  A study of California surfers showed most of them were low or sub optiminal.  Regular doctors think a bottom number is normal.  Yet, is it optimal?  The levels are to prevent scurvy.    Remember, your history class told you the sailors ate limes and were called "limeys" to prevent scurvy.  Yet, is preventing scurvy our only goal?  What about preventing colds, flu, Covid 19, etc?  Here is a link to a great group that really believes in optimal Vit. D for the best health.  Of course, Vit. D is one of the fat soluble vitamins that celiacs (and others) malabsorb. The link is not copying.  It is GrassRoots Health.  I will try again.

I just saw on the internet that there is a Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Gluten Free Biscuit Mix.  I found it on Amazon for around $40. for 8 boxes that make about 10 biscuits.  I don't need to make that many.  Maybe some gluten free friends could split the order sometime.  I looked it up at Walmart.  It was about $4 for a single box.  Most of the reviews were good, but a few said they weren't that good.  Has anyone out there tried these?   The Walmart site said there were only 3 left at only the Amidon location.  Too far for me to go.

I signed up for emails from a site that promotes good health through optimal vitamin and mineral status.  We were both deficient in Vitamin D a few years ago and we are outside all summer!  So, I feel anyone can be low.  https://www.grassrootshealth.net/blog/vitamin-d-incidence-flu-information-know/

Hope you are all doing well and staying home.  I am thankful our President is learning so much how to handle pandemics.  It is bound to happen again.  Please pray for our doctors, nurses and front line people stocking the stores, etc.  God Bless you all!

We record Dr. Richard Becker's program:  Your Health.  We recently watched show #1616 about celiac disease.  He suggested using digestive enzymes, correcting intestinal dysbiosis and replacing nutrients that are not absorbed.  All of this has helped my health.  I know it is expensive but we need to choose carefully where to spend our money!  I know someone that spends a lot on electronics but doesn't want to spend for his health.  Dr. Becker had cancer himself years ago and moved away from traditional medicine.  His program highlights natural treatments using vitamins and minerals.  It certainly makes sense to me to enhance those nutrients that we can't absorb, such as, Vit. A, D, E.  These all help our immune system work better.  I am living proof!  You can ask your doctor to do blood tests for these.
