Mayo Clinic Study Shows Micronutrient Deficiencies Are (Still) Common in Contemporary Celiac Disease Despite Lack of Overt Malabsorption Symptoms
Micronutrient deficiencies remain common in adults with Celiac Disease despite increased non classic presentation

new Mayo Clinic study shows; or How Under/Undiagnosed Malnutrition is making you Sick….
The Posterboys Story of How Taking Magnesium and a B-Complex help him address asymptomatic
Vitamin Deficiencies in Celiac disease They (Mayo Clinic) titled it… Micronutrient Deficiencies Are Common in Contemporary
Celiac Disease Despite Lack of Overt Malabsorption Symptoms…but as usual some of the usual suspect’s are missing…
IE many B-Vitamins

Like Niacinamide (best form to take without flushing side effects)…Thiamine, and Riboflavin…
Eating a gluten free diet will make you low in Thiamine….
See this 5+ year old study on this effect/relationship to Malnutrition in Celiacs’ entitled….
Nutritional inadequacies of the gluten-free diet in both recently-diagnosed and long-term patients with
coeliac disease commonly spelt Celiac disease in North America…

And note quoting…someone eating a gluten free diet will become low in Thiamine...
“The frequency of inadequacies was similar pre- and post-diagnosis, except for thiamine and vitamin A,
where inadequacies were more common after GFD implementation.”
Gluten free foods are un-enriched…and are from common sources like Rice that typically low in Thiamine already….
(A great argument for Fortification of Gluten Free Foods)
keeping Thiamine levels’ low even in Celiac’s…who have been Gluten Free for some time…
Now the Mayo Clinic is picking up on these same issues in Celiac’s 5+ years later….
Progress takes time….but it comes with awareness…
And Why I am writing this posterboy blog post to share my experience….
Low Thiamine levels have been linked to Villi thinning…
See this article explaining these connections….featured on celiac.com
Here are a few links that will help you understand Magnesium vital role in the body…

Magnesium deficiency has also been shown to be a key way into how the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)
causes/contributes to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in people who have Chronic Active EBV…

But people (doctors etc.) don’t really have a good understanding today of how important it (Magnesium) is to the body…
I believe mainly because of all the confusion of different Magnesium supplement types….It is like a maze to just find one
that your body can use….and why I have simply told you the best kinds to take…
Find a Magnesium Glycinate or Magnesium Citrate and your body will think you with some very lucid dreams!
Special Note: on Taking B-Complex’s….after a 3 or 4 days…urine color will often change…this is normal…
Note: (Taking an Enzymic B-Vitamin) is often easier to absorb for people with low stomach acid because they have
already been converted into their active form...used by the body (that normally takes) place with a strong
stomach acid...sold usually as a CoEnzyme B-Complex etc...I hope this is helpful.
B-Complex’s half life is 12 hours so…take them twice a day or with meals…they are water soluble and leak out…
I describe it as being a quart low in blood etc…you just drag…when you are low….(same with Magnesium by the way)…
you are said to “Waste Away” when low in Magnesium!
You can test this by the color of your urine….take one every other day…and you will notice a change in your urine color….
as you become low in B-2 aka Riboflavin… Your now “yellow” urine will become clear 12 to 24 hours later…
Taking them 2x a day ensures you have enough to get by for 24 hours in the day…without feeling a “quart” low…
As the intensity of your urine color becomes brighter….this is a sign your body is now storing more in your body (liver mostly)….
Once…it begins to (GLOW) in the dark….your body is now bypassing all the B-2 (Riboflavin) through the kidneys…
It is a sign you can give the B-Complex and/or Riboflavin a break…
If I take B2 now…..it immediately (in 3 to 4 hours) turns…it yellow…and will stay that way for another 12 hours or so…
(Similar to the Asparagus effect about 1/2 the population) encounters....of a strong order to their urine...harmless but noticeable...
until being water soluble (and the body) not able to store extra…leaks out again…
Another distinct sign (if you are NOT taking) an acid reducer now….is burping replacing bloating and indigestion in your stomach…
As your acid rebuilds in the stomach (from the B-Complex) another sign you are getting your body’s stress
under control is a distinct and noticeable burping….this will be your new normal…
This effect (of burping without bloating) will usually take about 6 weeks to notice and 3 to 4 months to ensure
it is your new normal…unless you are stressed “out” again…
Stress is related to heartburn….see this research about it…entitled “The effect of life stress on symptoms of heartburn.”

I have to stop for now…but I hope this is helpful to whomever might read this Posterboy blog post…
Stress kills…but it maims us first!
As always I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise…
I just know it helped me and I have tried diligently to share what helped me….
so that other could be helped the same way Lord willing.
No people or blog post is perfect...but this covers the basics without it being Way Too Long (at least by my standards)...
2 Corinthians (KJV) 1:3,4 3) “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comfort; 4) who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which
are in any trouble (fellow sufferer), by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”
2 Timothy 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.
