I was tested for nutrient deficiencies and Thiamine was not my problem. The doctor uses the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies. I was deficient in Carnitine, Magnesium, multiple antioxidants, D, Selenium, B12, B6 and a long list, just not Thiamine. -
- Joel K commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Travel1Cruising Gluten-Free: Why Princess Cruises Stands Out for People with Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity
Umm...meh. Under the "Tips for a Safe...", #6 should be #1. If a cruiseline bombs out on the research, 2-6 become irrelevant. That notwithstanding, how is Princess any different from any other cruise line if you have to follow stated tips 1-5 if they manage to pass #6? You'd do the same everywhere else. I should say, I would. For the ...- 1

Yes, but knowing you have "a gluten problem" does not distinguish between gluten sensitivity and celiac disease, an important distinction when it comes to long range health implications and how strict you need to be in avoiding gluten. And in reality, many people find they cannot stick to the gluten free diet until they have a formal diagnosis. Without that...- celiac disease

I did not need a test to tell me that I have a gluten problem; once I stopped eating gluten and all my medical problems went away, that was enough for me. It is great that they developed this test since doctors would not take your words for it, and I was afraid of doing a gluten challenge test since the desire to commit suicide was one of my symptoms.- 1

This is truly a breakthrough in the diagnostic realm! Hopefully, this technology will become widely available sooner than later and save a lot of people a lot of misery in the process of trying to get a diagnosis.- 1

I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well. This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

@MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test. It looks like he just tested total IgG. Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test? Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives. -
