  1. I understand the caffeine in tea and coffee and other caffeinated beverages is thought to inhibit the production of DAO enzyme levels in the gut, and well as depleting B Vitamins. I also came across some research regarding deficiencies in Iron and Zinc (in addition to Magnesium) which can also reduce the DAO levels in the gut. I've taken a multipronged approach...
  2. The relationship between Vitamin D levels, Fish Oil and mood is interesting. Came across these which explain it very nicely .... https://www.integrativepsychiatry.net/vitamin-d-and-fish-oil-improve-cognition-and-mood-by-supporting-serotonin/ https://www.brain-effect.com/en/magazin/boost-serotonin-levels It's good to know how and why micronutrient...
  3. Update: Thought I'd share this in relation to histamine intolerance and mast cells ... https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40629-021-00171-9 . I've concluded through experimentation and going back through previous blood test results ... that I have a subclinical iron deficiency, as supplementation with a low dose iron complex with vitamin C for the...
  4. Very interesting. My thirst for knowledge has led me to learn all the essential nutrients and pathways for neurotransmitter production. Fascinating how the body's systems are interdependent on one another and essential nutrients. I've read that poor blood sugar regulation or insulin response will not allow tyrosine to do it's thing and produce dopamine and...
  5. @knitty kitty ... Just curios. What are the additional benefits of Benfotiamine? Do you take choline?
  6. @Scott Adams, I'm curious. What Brand/Type of Choline do you take? Is the regular choline bitartrate or CDP Choline (Cognizin)? I believe the latter is the most effective.
  7. I've had issues with reflux having a HH. In my experience, any food or beverage item that will cause inflammation and/or bloating in the gut will cause reflux. Coeliacs are prone to developing IBS and SIBO which can cause reflux. I follow an AIP diet for the most part and take the supplements my body needs since fortified foods are off the menu. I've got...
  8. Sounds like DH to me. It's the itch that won't go away, no matter how much you scratch! When I get glutened, I get what I can only describe as random pin pricks anywhere on the skin. Then the scalp becomes itchy first, I guess because it's got a large blood supply ... followed by the forearms and elbows.
  9. Does anyone have experience of supplementing with Vitamin B5 in terms of dealing with stress and a being a good supplement for the adrenal glands? Came across this info on the spectracell blog ... "Also known as pantothenate or pantothenic acid, vitamin B5 is sometimes referred to as the “anti-stress” vitamin because it can reverse some biological dam...
  10. I'm curious, how does that work for a three course meal in a restaurant spaced over a couple of hours? Is one pill sufficient for three courses?
  11. Something to consider. There can be undeclared gluten in batches of Almond Milk and Rice Milk and other gluten-free products. We had a bulletin issued a few weeks back by the Coeliac Society of Ireland for undeclared gluten in a batch of Rice Milk. I don't touch any substitute milks.
  12. @Conniem, I have DH which was diagnosed by skin biopsy for what was initially thought to be Eczema. Coeliac blood test was negative as was a subsequent endoscopy and small bowel biopsy for celiac disease. My forearms have the tell tale scars from blisters in previous flare ups. As knitty kitty said, Iodine in Dairy can flare it. Our salt is not iodised...
  13. If anyone is interested, here's an interesting webinar from ITL Health on the importance of Magnesium in relation to food intolerances, histamine etc. ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYeuSw86bzk
  14. So is it best to take Thiamine and Magnesium Glycinate at the same time or can they be taken a different times? Magnesium Glycinate at night for example or between meals as it has a relaxing effect!
  15. Thanks. Those brands are available on Amazon.co.uk, though they ship from the US. iHerb.com ship to the EU. I've used Magnesium Malate and Glycinate in the past, Glycinate was more beneficial. I'll try Magnesium Citrate this time around.
  16. Update: After taking 4 x 100mg Solgar Thiamine HCL for 4 days now I can definitely feel a big improvement. Clearly the 300mg to 400mg level is the therapeutic threshold to see benefits. Thanks for the suggestions folks. Much appreciated!!
  17. There's a very good casual webinar with a clinical psychologist by the Coeliac Society of Ireland titled "Minding your mental health – how to meet the psychological challenges of coeliac disease" on youtube. There may be some gems of information there that may be helpful.
  18. The link to the video is at the bottom of this article at ... "Source: vimeo.com" or paste ... vimeo.com/486284734 ... into your browser address bar. You have to advocate for yourself with regard to your family, hard as it may be when you don't feel your best. I've had to be quiet blunt with some of my folks, but they get it now.
  19. Is there any brand of Benfotiamine that is preferable? Or are they all more or less equal?
  20. @Posterboy, I have DH and am on Dapsone as needed to control it. I've made several unsuccessful attempts to get off it. I have normal blood sugar but a HA1C in the low 20s, a side effect of Dapsone. I think it's time for Benfotiamine!
  21. Getting to grips with reducing/controlling histamine is the final piece of my puzzle! I'm emptying my histamine bucket! The brain fog and agitation it causes is no fun at all. I took Niacin 50mg a few months ago for a few days but the flushing was too much. Since then, I've been concentrating on getting polyphenols into the body so as to build up levels of...
  22. I'm a little confused because I've read in some sources that Niacin causes the release of histamine, so does it trigger the release of new histamine or just that it flushes (in the case of Niacin) out the existing histamine built up in the body?
  23. Hey Liam R, Yes, I had dyspepsia a few years ago and managed to fix all my issues by myself through research and with the help of a functional nutritionist who is also a qualified nurse. She prescribed me some herbal remedies which really worked. I was having some acid reflux issues, went for an endoscopy and the doctor diagnosed dyspepsia, with some...
  24. Yes! I've experimented a lot with different foods, supplements to see what does and does not work for me. I brought up the hiatus hernia discussion because A) Liam R reduced his from 6cm to 2cm which was a great result and B ) My gastroenterologist previously stated that they can go away sometimes ... not so sure about that, a discussion for another time...
  25. I'm curious, did they say how or why the hiatus hernia reduced from 6cm to 2cm? I 'm asking because I have a HH also.
