Hi, Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom...

Hi, Your situation was similar to mine, but yours sounds more severe. From what I've read and experienced celiacs with IgG can have different symptoms that those with IgA. (I have only IgG like you).

Glad to help. I forgot to mention celiacs should avoid products from Sandoz. Their polysorbate-80 is made from wheat, not corn like in the US and Canada. It triggered a life threatening cytokine storm in me. That's what started me doing all this research. I was posting this also for any celiac having trouble locating gluten-free pharmaceuticals. It...

I've had to deal with this problem for several years now: There are several HBP medicines available that are gluten free. You will need to request them by a NDC number (National Drug Code).
