    Corrine D., Well, then, I'm going back to my original theory, that you may have a thiamine deficiency presenting as Gastrointestinal Beriberi. You've stated "I only get digestive symptoms (pain, diarrhea) when I eat a very small amount of anything else but beef" and you cannot tolerate fillers in supplements. Those fillers are usually some sort...

    Hi, Corrine D., Sorry to hear you're not improving. I've been doing some research and I wondered if any of these might help you. Some Celiacs develop a sensitivity to sulfur, sulfites in foods... https://www.doctorauer.com/paleo-diet-not-working-exploring-sulfur-intolerance-as-a-possible-connection/ You said earlier you could not...

    Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Malnutrition is vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Newly diagnosed Celiacs may have nutritional deficiencies.Some can have subclinical deficiencies for years. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820055/ Thiamine deficiency in ALS https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...

    You should get tested before supplementing with Cobalamine (Vitamin B12). You need to get a baseline. MMA and homocysteine levels should be measured, as well as ferretin, folate and iron. Once you start supplementing, the test results will be artificial higher and will skew the real levels. Better to wait without supplementation in order to get an accurate...

    High caloric malnutrition causes obesity. The vitamins used to enrich your gluten products are often synthetic and have reduced bioavailability. There's questions as to the quantity of vitamins added. The RDA's are set too low. Subclinical nutritional deficiencies can occur. Especially thiamine deficiency. Thiamine deficiency and obesity: https...

    Here's the study about high dose Vitamin D supplementation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4128480/#!po=24.4681 I definitely took more than 10,000 out a day. My health began to improve almost immediately. My level has been measured as in the eighties. I try to keep it there. Being so low, it took several months to rebuild my...

    Yes, I was severely deficient in Vitamin D. My doctor was shocked at how low it was. He prescribed D2, which is synthetic. My body didn't like it. I got the natural form, D3. My body liked those. I craved those little capsules. I ate them like m&m's. It was crazy. However, recent research confirmed that high dose supplementation is the best way...

    I experienced swallowing difficulty and excessive salivation before my celiac disease diagnosis. It was due to thiamine deficiency. My dentist frequently commented on how much saliva I produced, but no explanation was given. I couldn't understand why I had such trouble swallowing if I had that much saliva. Nevertheless, everything I ate stuck in...

    AdmiralP, Did you have nitrous oxide (laughing gas or anesthesia)? Nitrous oxide can deplete your stores of Vitamin B12. The nitrogen in the gas binds permanently to the cobalt in Vitamin B12 and your body can't use the vitamin anymore. If you are low in B12, a dose of nitrous oxide can deplete B12 so severely you start having deficiency symptoms...

    Wheatwacked, So glad you've taken up the Celiac Guinea Pig challenge. ? I hope you will keep us posted on your results. Might I suggest a food/mood/poo'd journal to keep track of results? And to Ldncrad, Many Celiacs have vitamin deficiencies at the time of diagnosis. Sometimes that's been the only symptom, but it's just the tip of the...

    Hi all! It's the casein in the dairy! Parts of the casein molecules resemble parts of the gluten molecules and the body reacts the same as when exposed to gluten.

    Thiamine deficiency is associated with diabetes and hyperthyroidism (as well as hypothyroidism) and high bad cholesterol levels. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3921172/#!po=47.9167 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3376872/#!po=1.02041 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Thyrotoxicosis+thiamine https://jamanetwork...

    Excessive saliva production is caused by a deficiency in Niacin (vitamin B3). I experienced this for years before my Celiac diagnosis. My dentist always commented on it whenever I visited, but my dentist could not explain why this happened. Celiac causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Yes, vitamin deficiencies occur in Celiac...

    I've had a swollen gland in my neck similar to what you described. I found that taking thiamine helps immensely.

    Mummu said her daughter was "constantly nauseated, tired, and having little to no interest in eating. She's lost weight and I'm worried she may be becoming depressed" I agree with M.Martha. The Autoimmune diet without dairy and nightshades really helped me. Also, I had a thiamine deficiency. Once I started the Lipothiamine and regular...

    I disagree with this statement. Mental conditions are not "already there" in people with Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause changes in one's mental state. High levels of histamine released in the body's attempt to protect itself from gluten can cause...

    I hope this article can help. It explains how gluten can affect us mentally whether or not we have Celiac Disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4809873/#!po=11.4458

    Taking a B Complex supplement in addition to the B 12, might be advantageous. The eight essential B vitamins all work together and because they are water soluble, they need to be replenished every day. B 12 needs folate, thiamine (B 1) and riboflavin (B 2) and pyridoxine (B 6) to function fully. Supplementing with Riboflavin, Vitamin B 2, has been...

    Hi, Ennis! I hope your ambulance works out for you. There's a technical school nearby that rebuilt a man's truck when it was stolen and trashed. I wonder if a technical school near you would be interested in helping to refit your truck. Are you supplementing calcium? Calcium and magnesium need a balance. I remember you don't do dairy, and...

    Yeah, but sodas are like potato chips, you can't have just one. If someone is drinking sodas regularly and consuming some magnesium in their diet, it may be a gradual process, like two steps forward and one step back, where a gradual subclinical deficiency progressively worsens over time. Magnesium is stored in bones and tissue. Depletions of these stores...
