B12 can be stored in the liver for two to five years. Most of the eight B vitamins are water soluble and must be replenished every day, but B12 is the exception. Other B vitamins, such as thiamine, can become depleted in as little as nine days. (Ever watch television show "Naked and Afraid"? The people on that show develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies...

Hi, Dorothy! I'm so sorry you've been through so much. But you're not alone. Your story sounds similar to mine, gastrointestinal problems as a child that got ignored, laughed at, or simply dismissed as psychosomatic, symptoms changing and worsening health as I got older. I look back now and see how my parents were dealing with illnesses of their...

Has anyone looked into the MATH+ protocol for Covid 19? https://covid19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocol/ It uses vitamin C (ascorbic acid), thiamine, melatonin, zinc and Vitamin D in addition to a blood thinner and steroids. Seems to be having an impact on survival rates.

NIH says... https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-HealthProfessional/ "chronic administration of 1–6 g oral pyridoxine per day for 12–40 months can cause severe and progressive sensory neuropathy characterized by ataxia (loss of control of bodily movements) [10,32-35]. Symptom severity appears to be dose dependent, and the symptoms usually sto... -
Binge eating disorder and celiac disease
knitty kitty replied to Hannah9's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hannah9, It's vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Google "anorexia bulimia vitamin deficiencies". I had vitamin and mineral deficiencies and I can say from experience that vitamin and mineral deficiencies affect your appetite and eating habits. I struggled with binge eating. You're not alone. Mine resolved with vitamin and mineral supplementation...- 12 replies

Candida infection or something else?
knitty kitty replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Have you Googled. "SIBO and vitamin deficiencies" ? Malabsorption occurs in Celiac Disease. You're not absorbing enough vitamins and minerals for the body to keep intestinal bacteria in check. Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of follow up care for Celiacs. Hope this helps! -
Higher Suicide Rates in Celiac Disease Patients
knitty kitty commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Depression and Celiac Disease
Wendy, I'm sorry you're feeling so depressed and frustrated about your Celiac diagnosis. My pastor described life events we don't want to go through as "a Call to Nineveh." Surely you remember the story of Jonah. He was called by the Lord to go preach to Nineveh, but Jonah was very opposed to going. Like many here on the forum, the diagnosis...- 7 comments

Dolson, I understand and empathize with your feelings about the medical profession' ineptitude in treating autoimmune diseases like diabetes and Celiac Disease. Perhaps these research articles might help you. "Evidence for altered thiamine metabolism in diabetes: Is there a potential to oppose gluco- and lipotoxicity by rational supplementation...

Candida infection or something else?
knitty kitty replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree with Trents. You can live without carbs. Here's an article on how the body utilizes both carbs, and proteins and fats as sources of energy. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/does-the-brain-need-carbs The body breaks down carbs into glucose which the brain uses for energy. But the body can also turn fats and proteins into glucose... -

Carla20, I used Baby Sign Language with my son when he was little. No problems, just he was very smart and trying to communicate and I got tired of trying to guess and asking twenty questions. I was the one who was getting frustrated. It really works! You'll be amazed at how quickly kids grasp sign language. There's tons of videos on YouTube...

Candida infection or something else?
knitty kitty replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Furguston, Have you heard about Auto Brewery Syndrome? https://www.healthline.com/health/auto-brewery-syndrome I wonder how your symptoms compare. Cutting out carbohydrates seems to be key in getting rid of the Candida yeast. Have you thought about the Paleo Diet or the AutoImmune Protocol diet? Hope this helps! Knitty Kitty -

I felt so much better taking the high dose thiamine, but after three days my brain function didn't seem to be improving as dramatically. I had reached a plateau. I no longer needed as much. I cut down on the amount I was taking slowly. When I didn't feel as bright, I took a little more. Every one is different. You might have improvement for more...

I took ten of the Now Thiamine (B-1) tablets for three days. I took 3 tablets at breakfast, 3 tablets at lunch and one with afternoon snack, and 3 tablets with dinner. You can take ten of the tablets for more days than that if you keep feeling better. If you get sick to your stomach, don't take so many at once or so close together or take fewer throughout...

Niacin will make you flush. It goes away in three to five days usually. If your body really needs niacin, you may flush longer, but it does go away. Get the Life Extension Niacin 500 mg. And the Allithiamine or the Now thiamine. I started with the Now thiamine. And the Magnesium. And the Vitamin C. These all work together...
