I have read that turning orange from carrots is because the liver isn't

functioning right. Pearl

Yes, and this goes along with a damaged gut and a vicious cycle going unchecked.

I turned orange too once eating too many carrots. I had missed celiac disease

and damaged intestines most of my life..., but it must be a atypical

type...because GLUTEN FREE DID NOT WORK.

Actually, " normal " people can turn orange also if they go

overboard on carotene-rich supplements or foods. It does not nec

mean liver issues. As carotenes are NOT toxic (just unbecoming, lol)

in large doses, if you get that 'tan in a can' tint, lay off.

However, straight Vitamin A CAN be toxic. That's why it is

increasingly difficult to find OTC. Most supplements will

say " Vitamin A " on the front, but when you read the ingredients and

breakdown on the back list, you will likely see " alpha, beta

carotenes, lutien, axsanthin, etc " instead.

FWIW, most celiacs do fine on just GF. However, having 'missed'

or undx celiac would certainly result in more widespread, compounded

damage. If it happened for my son at only three years of age, I

cannot imagine how extensive that damage would be as an adult. So,

not nec 'atypical' celiac, but that disorder plus all its unchecked

results.
