Welcome to the forum, @KCGirly, In addition to side effects like rashes and gastrointestinal symptoms, Semaglutide is known to cause Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency. Gastrointestinal Beriberi (a Thiamine deficiency disorder) causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and tachycardia. Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates...

Do you wear an N-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour? Do you eat out in restaurants? Do you take vitamins?

These articles are helpful.

knitty kitty replied to DayaInTheSun's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
@DayaInTheSun, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies? The gluten free diet can be low in the eight essential B vitamins. Most Celiac are low in Vitamin D, which helps calm the immune system. Thiamine (Benfotiamine) helps calm mast cells so they don't release histamine at the slightest provocation. Taking a B Complex and Benfotiamine... -

Hello, @Dora77, Pancreatic elastase is a digestive enzyme that requires Thiamine Vitamin B 1 to be produced. Thiamine is needed to make insulin, too. Thiamine, Niacin B 3, and Pyridoxine B6 are needed to make digestive enzymes and turn carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy for the body, and for repair and healing of the body. The Gluten free...

Being present in same room as gluten pasta cooking
knitty kitty replied to LKMatchett's topic in Super Sensitive People
Welcome to the forum, @LKMatchett, Yes, I believe airborne particles carried from steam released during cooking can enter the body and make one ill, whether it's gluten from noodles boiling, or bread baking. I know I get ill if I'm around shrimp or lobster boiling, too. I have a crustacean allergy. I think distilleries have a condensation process... -
Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8, Yes, the bloodwork is confusing. One has to be eating a sufficient amount of gluten (10 grams/day, about 5-6 slices of bread) in order for the antibody level to get high enough to be measured in the bloodstream. If insufficient amounts of gluten are eaten, the the antibodies stay in the small intestines...

The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools. Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

@Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency. https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And...

Sorry about that link. It was meant for a different post. Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly. This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation. It makes a big difference. I took high dose Vitamin D and really...

Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed. Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease. On your test results, this line "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low. People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done. Low Total IgA means you are making...

Night time migranes
knitty kitty replied to Debado's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles...
