    @Chellalee76, I'm reposting this here. I answered this question on another thread. Having all the related information in one place is good. "There's some evidence that anti-tTg IgA can be produced during infection with infectious agents, but if the infecting agent is treated the antibodies go away. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33895...

    I use Life Extension brand of Benfotiamine, 100 mg or 250 mg. They also make a good B Complex. I use Thiamine Hydrochloride by NOW Foods. This is the common form of thiamine. This form doesn't have the same results as quickly as the other forms of Thiamine, but it helps nonetheless. Ecological Formulas' Allithiamine, a form of thiamine called...

    Hello, @Dandk! I'm so happy that you are trying Thiamine and seeing improvement! Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make a variety of enzymes, so taking a B Complex along with B12 and Benfotiamine every day is a good practice. I take my B's at the beginning of a meal, and magnesium after a meal. I take a B Complex in the morning with Benfotiamine...

    It's got thiamine mononitrate which is a form that the body cannot use very well. This one has thiamine hydrochloride which is better. https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/vitamin-b-complex-with-vitamin-c/p/BB_057800840190?variantCode=057800840190 What's in the pineapple juice?

    I'm surprised at your reaction to B Complex. Was it gluten free? I'd like to read the label! Read the ingredients on the label. Any high fructose corn syrup? Any ascorbic acid? Any added Vitamin C?

    @Olfy75, Have you thought about getting a DNA test to see if you carry any genes for Celiac Disease? Anemia and Diabetes can cause false negatives in blood tests for Celiac Disease. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome occurs in celiac disease. Mast cells are part of the immune system. They degranulate as part of the immune process. However...

    @Courts, You did something unwise. But we learn from mistakes. Unless you are on a cruise ship and the entire crew and passengers are all sick with a stomach bug, I would say it's the gluten causing problems. Our immune systems stay geared up for about two years from the last time one has consumed gluten. All the antibody-producing cells...

    High Dose Vitamin B1 Reduces Proliferation in Cancer Cell Lines Analogous to Dichloroacetate https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3963161/ "Our findings suggest that high dose thiamine reduces cancer cell proliferation by a mechanism similar to that described for dichloroacetate."

    @SargeMaximus, You might want to consider continuing the B Complex and the additional Thiamine, and magnesium. Do you get enough Vitamin C? Do you drink much soda?

    @Plola, You're not alone! I understand! It's a dumping, mass evacuation type diarrhea. Propylene Glycol is an ingredient, generally recognized as safe, but diarrhea is one of the side effects. Propylene Glycol causes water from body fluids to influx into the intestines and colon which results in that mass evacuation. Propylene Glycol...

    Chicken meat can trigger a Celiac-like response in some people because the type of protein in dark meat (legs, thighs) resembles a segment of the gluten protein. I'm one of those that react to chicken. You're not alone, @SargeMaximus.

    @416510, You may want to ask for the anti-DGP - IGg tests. It's part of the"complete Celiac panel" @trents mentioned. Here's some studies about it...

    Hello! I'm Type Two and I've found the Autoimmune Protocol diet works best for me. I could not take Metformin nor other similar medications because I have a hypersensitivity to sulfa drugs. Metformin actually blocks Thiamine Vitamin B 1 from entering cells in the body. The great thing about the AIP diet is that it allows me to maintain my 4...

    @Ben.D, Welcome to the forum! I'm going to ask about your diet. What did a typical day's food intake look like prior to symptoms 6-7 years ago? What does your diet include now? What foods are problematic for you? Are you a vegetarian?

    @GlutenbusterMama, Let's keep in mind that the digestive tract has a limited vocabulary. Not everything is caused by gluten. Yes, there's a connection between a diet high in sugar and insufficient Thiamine Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is needed to burn sugar for energy. If there is not enough thiamine to process sugar and turn it into energy, lactic...

    @KL443, Sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly. I was not able to take Omeprazole because it made my stomach and digestive tract hurt worse. There is scientific research that shows that proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole and antidepressants cause continuing inflammation and damage in the digestive tract. You may try discontinuing...

    Hi, Faye! What was the medication? Some medications themselves can cause worsening GI symptoms. Some medications can precipitate vitamin deficiencies which can manifest as the symptoms you've described.

    @KatrinaMindy, I've had hearing loss related to untreated Celiac Disease. I've had almost all those symptoms you listed. (No resection.) Please, please, please, get checked for nutritional deficiencies, especially Thiamine Vitamin B1, as soon as possible. Vitamin deficiencies need to be corrected as quickly as possible so the damage does not...

    @ravenwoodglass, I do hope it's not come to that! My heart goes out to you! There is a mounting body of evidence that high dose Thiamine (esp. Benfotiamine) can have anticancer effects.

    Welcome to the forum! I agree that current medical training leaves a lot to be desired. Doctors are trained in medical training institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies to dispense pharmaceuticals. Doctors are given about fifteen minutes of education about vitamins and nutrition in seven years of med school. How are they correcting...

    @Seethefacts, If you have not been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, know that you will have to consume regular amounts of gluten (10 grams/day) for up to eight to twelve weeks ( a gluten challenge) in order to test for antibodies to gluten in your blood. A minimum of two weeks of gluten consumption is required before an endoscopy to biopsy the small intestine...
