  1. Found this re. Maltodextrin, probably not great for celiacs even if it is gluten free.. ‘maltodextrin can negatively impact gut health. For example, one studyshowed that maltodextrin can alter the composition of your gut bacteria in a way that makes you more susceptible to disease. It does this by suppressing the growth of the beneficial bacteria i...
  2. I’ve always been a bit worried about taking supplements because I don’t know much about them so might end up doing more harm than good but the HCL worked so well I’ve stocked up on all the other recommended ones, B complex, magnesium citrate, D3, vit c, benfotiamine, chelated copper and zinc. Not cheap but I’m determined not to spend the rest of my d...
  3. Hi @knitty kitty. Thanks for the info, I was feeling loads better on 100mg of the HCL but then read more of your posts so increased it to 500mg at the same time as my benfotiamine 250mg arrived in the post and it’s been knocking me out. I was worried the benfotiamine wasn’t gluten free but maybe I just need to reduce the HCL a bit. I drink a lot of ...
  4. This gives me hope, my issues with it were intermittent which is what made me think it was cross contamination but I’ve been eating loads of thiamine so maybe it could be worth trying to reintroduce it. The gluten free one listed on Amazon is apparently no longer labelled as such on the packaging so it’ll have to be a gamble on the regular stuff.
  5. I’ve started growing 4 different varieties of potatoes and 2 types of quinoa, that’s almost a different carb option for each day of the week! Ordering some oca tubers so we’ll see how that goes. Similar to potatoes but with a lemon flavour apparently, not tried any yet.
  6. Apologies, I just double checked where I read this in an article about cross contamination of rice with gluten and it was referring to gluten in restaurant food labelled gluten free, not rice specifically. It did mention that it might cause similar symptoms though, so could be it’s this that has caused me to avoid it and not cross contamination as I...
  7. I read that on average 30% of rice is cross contaminated with gluten but you can get gluten free on Amazon.
  8. It’s scary how information is being censored, I tried using iodine directly on DH and it was making it worse so switched to essential oils which work great. Now even using it on cuts seems to cause problems elsewhere on my body but it’s hard to know for sure with accidental gluten ingestion and only recently realising about oats also being potential fac...
  9. @MiriamW you might be right but it is amazingly effective at that concentration. Hopefully it’ll still work at a lower ratio, it makes sense to use the minimum effective dose so I’ll do some experimenting.
  10. @MiriamW I just found this re. dilution, opinion seems to have shifted since I looked it up, I’ll start diluting the lavender too. When I trained 10 years ago, I was taught that it was generally accepted to be safe to use lavender and tea tree essential oils undiluted on the skin. A drop applied neat to a specific area such as a spot, cut, burn, insect b...
  11. Thanks for pointing this out Miriam. I’ve just checked and the maximum dilution for tea tree is 15%, I’ve been using 33%! Neem can be used neat but it smells terrible, I put the extra tea tree in to mask the smell of the neem and haven’t had any issues but I’ll try 15% in the next batch and see if it’s as effective. I also use neat lavender essential...
  12. You can test your iodine levels at home with a ‘skin patch test’. Your skin only absorbs it if it’s needed. ’If the patch disappears or mostly disappears in less than 24 hours, it is supposed to indicate some degree of deficiency. Significant lightening or a complete disappearance in less than 18 hours is said to indicate a moderate to severe iodine ...
  13. Dr Robert Faust is worth looking up for info on humic acids, fulvic is the one with all the health benefits, anti viral, anti inflammatory, chelation ect.
  14. I think we might be talking about different things? I missed the word ‘minerals’ so thought you were referring to fulvic and humic acid. I just use hymalayan salt in food for minerals, it was formed before the planet was polluted. I’m dubious about eating too much from the sea since Fukushima. Fulvic and humic acid help bind any cesium you inges...
  15. Good for binding heavy metals in the body, also great for plants. They’re not all made equal so worth doing some research on suppliers. Lots of substandard products available, some are amazing for plant and human health, others make a great biocide/herbicide.
  16. @trentshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31610455/ Fulvic/humic acid supplements help. The link is for soil remediation but it works the same in the body.
  17. Arsenic is an issue with rice as it tends to be grown on shale, it’s not recommended to give rice milk to children.
  18. Sorry, No harm intended. I hope the thiamine works as well for you as it has for me :).
  19. @knitty kitty hi :). Today is day three on the thiamin, I found some ‘vit B1 100mg’ in the local health food shop so decided to get these instead of waiting for the benfotiamine in the post. On day one I ate it quite late in the day after I got back from my shopping and oh my dogs! Definitely not for evening use! Within half an hour I realised what peo...
  20. They slow down a lot if it gets below 16c but otherwise I don’t see why not, I tried growing them outside here in the summer but they were drying out quicker in the wind and rats were going on them so I just keep them inside all year round now. I live on a canal boat so rats are always around. I get the seeds from Amazon, they’re listed as being for...
  21. Hi @Scott Adams. That’s correct, on the end of my kitchen counter with an led attached to the underside of the cupboard above. Any cheap light or a sunny window sill works great if you have one. I’ve amazed myself with the amount that can be produced like this, I just wish I could still eat sandwiches because these would be great in them but I’ve no...
  22. You are a wealth of information and excellent at communicating it . I have a natural aversion to anything synthetic and don’t mind garlic so will try the allithiamine and Benfotiamine. My sister isn’t back from America until March so I’ll have to wait until then for the allithiamine but I can get benfotiamine from Amazon delivered here so I’ll try that fi...
  23. @knitty kitty ok I just re read this whole conversation and found this link a few pages back. thanks again so much for this info, I plan on taking half of each type. My whole family have similar symptoms so it’s not just me you’ve helped, Thankyou! I’m hopeful about this. https://www.pureformulas.com/allithiamine-vitamin-b1-50-mg-60-capsules-by-ec...
  24. @knitty kitty I just realised I have a relative on her way to America now for a visit so I could ask her to bring some back, do you get your Allithiamine and Thiamax from the American Amazon website? It doesn’t seem to be available on the U.K. Amazon.
  25. @knitty kitty Thankyou so much for this I came here thinking I might be able to help others with things I’ve found that help but have learned so much already. I’m having trouble in the U.K. locating these types of thiamine for brain function, is it worth getting the stuff that helps with the guts as well and taking half of each if both brain and gut...
