    Not that I'm aware of. Riboflavin has some fat soluble derivatives, but the body can make those easily.

    Lots of great knitting traditions in the Isle of Man and Guersey! I like knitting Shetland shawls!

    Including oats in your diet is a good thing. You can supplement thiamine and the other B vitamins in addition to eating oats. The eight B vitamins need each other to function properly, so all eight B vitamins should be supplemented together, like in a B Complex. Taking additional Thiamine above what a B Complex contains is beneficial. Thiamine...

    @jlmarti, Thanks for reading my posts somewhere on the forum! You would do well to ask your doctor about making a Celiac Disease diagnosis based on her high DPG results alone or with a genetic test which looks for the most common Celiac genes. I'm in agreement with your daughter about doctors ignoring the "first do no harm" when it comes...

    Nope, my vote is the spices from seeds in curry powder.

    @Adam 50, Oats are high in Thiamine. Adding a Thiamine supplement (thiamine hydrochloride, allithiamine or benfotiamine) could help. Every single cell in our bodies need thiamine to provide energy and for enzymes. Insufficient thiamine could explain your fatigue and muscle pain or cramping. Thiamine is Vitamin B1. It's water soluble and...

    @Elizabeth Green, Welcome to the forum! I've found the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP diet) to be extremely helpful. Developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne because she and her children have Celiac Disease, the AIP diet has been shown in scientific studies to promote intestinal healing. Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been very helpful. (Her website...

    I spoke with my insurance agent to get recommendations for roofers. Her response was to get a contractor from out of state because the local ones aren't great. So, any recommendations would be appreciated. Composite tiles and Tesla solar panels.....

    Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in Celiac Disease and gluten free diets can be low in Thiamine. Thiamine is definitely related to changes in the cerebellum resulting in slurred speech, involuntary eye movement (nystagmus), and gait ataxia. Bright spots in brain imaging can be found in Thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is nontoxic and...

    Tesla solar panels sound pretty ingenious, especially if they would charge up electric cars...

    Tobacco is a nightshade that contains antihistamines. So Celiac smokers may be self medicating with natural antihistamines which would lower effects of the immune system's response to gluten.

    What a wonderful idea! Just be done with both of them! I live in the South, so metal roofs are fairly common on residential property. I think a metal roof was a bad decision for this house. It's a ranch style with the length of it facing the direction the wind comes from, like a long airplane wing.... After storms and high wind, I frequently...

    Bunions are common in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a hypermobility syndrome affecting the joints and connective tissues. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is frequently seen in conjunction with Celiac Disease. "Nationwide population-based cohort study of celiac disease and risk of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and joint hypermobility syndrome...

    Being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis six years ago doesn't rule out the fact that you may have had undiagnosed Celiac Disease then, too, causing malabsorption.

    We're you checked for iodine deficiency? Since you don't seem to consume many iodine containing foods, could you simply have iodine deficiency? Did your doctor do a iodine loading test? Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone given to stimulate the thyroid. In iodine deficiency, the thyroid can't produce normal thyroid hormones, resulting in hypothyroidism...

    I have Vanilla Bean, Serene Spirit, Campfire Glow, and Rugged Cliff. Vintage Traditions has small sample jars available. I often order those if I'm uncertain about a scent, but I've enjoyed all the ones I've tried so far. Only a small dab is necessary. A little goes a long way. And the tallow balm is absorbed by the skin very quickly. I...

    You may want to rethink the potatoes. Potatoes contain glycoalkaloids that promote leaky gut syndrome. Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

    @MerryA, Losartan/HCTZ 100/25mg Tablets HCTZ is hydrochlorothiazide. It is a diuretic. Diuretics can cause Thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is flushed out of the body with urine. I was prescribed HCTZ and my doctors did not recognize the ensuing thiamine deficiency symptoms. I knew what was happening because I had learned about Thiamine deficiency...

    But the liver (and gallbladder) are on the right side of the body. The pancreas is on the left.
