    Getting an endoscopy with biopsies (with or without gluten before hand) may be beneficial as it would provide a baseline with which to compare future results. It would give an idea of how much damage has been done, and be preventative for other possible problems. Do have your daughter's vitamin and mineral deficiencies addressed as part of proper...

    @sunflowers, Glad you're feeling better! Were the biopsy samples examined by a pathologist? How many biopsy samples were taken? Damage to the small intestine can be patchy and the initial changes with Celiac can be microscopic. Have you had genetic testing done to check for the most common Celiac genes? What recommendations...

    I've found better results taking Tryptophan than glutamine. Glutamine is a prolamine found in gluten and acts as an excitory neurotransmitter. Tryptophan helps promote tight junctions and is necessary for the production of serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter. Tryptophan helps lower inflammatory cytokines. Increasing dairy consumption...

    Yes, well, I don't want to get into that debate. Alcohol that is not derived from grain based sources include tequila and potato based vodka. But any kind of alcohol consumption is going to affect the small intestine. Can villous atrophy be induced by chronic alcohol consumption? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2769179/ "This case...

    Canadian Club Whiskey is made from barley and rye. Barley and rye contain gluten just like wheat.

    Amen!

    It's Magnesium chloride and available at online stores. Interesting, very interesting.....

    No, no gluten in beef. No cross contamination possible there. However, grain fed beef contains higher levels of cortisol, which is inflammatory.

    @trents, This article discusses the differences found in grass fed versus grain fed cattle. Grass fed cattle have better meat and healthier fat ratios and less stress hormone, cortisol, than grain fed cattle. Integrated metabolomic and transcriptome analyses reveal finishing forage affects metabolic pathways related to beef quality...

    @LCAnacortes, You're very welcome. There's been other threads about chickens being fed wheat versus non wheat feed. Same for cows. 😸

    @OWYN and @jenford244 There are a LOT of carbohydrates and proteins in that pea protein product. There is not enough Thiamine in it to properly convert the amount of carbohydrates and proteins into energy. Increasing carbohydrate intake demands more Thiamine. The thiamine status of adult humans depends on carbohydrate intake ...

    I get Life Extension and Ecological Formulas from Amazon. I take a B Complex and Allithiamine and Benfotiamine, magnesium citrate glycinate. Benfotiamine promotes gastrointestinal healing. I take Benfotiamine with every meal. Theanine, an amino acid supplement, and Tryptophan are beneficial for healing as well. Keep us posted on your progress...

    One Benfotiamine a day may not be enough. In thiamine deficiency, the transporters that pull thiamine into cells quit working. To get thiamine into the cells and turn the transporters back on we need to take more Thiamine so it will flood the system (like storming the capital). Take Benfotiamine with every meal. Your reaction -feeling so much...

    Welcome to the forum, @jenford244! I've adopted the AutoImmune Protocol Diet, which is fresh veggies and lean meat, grass fed beef. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne developed it for her-Celiac-self and her Celiac children. The AIP diet is scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing. It has really helped me. https://www.thepaleomom.com/start-here...

    Here's a scientific study that you might find interesting.... High-dose thiamine and essential tremor https://read.qxmd.com/read/29602891/high-dose-thiamine-and-essential-tremor

    Vitamin D helped me get over my night sweats. Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calms the inflammation down.

    @adhdgi, welcome to the forum! Thiamine deficiency can cause anorexia and also bulimia. I've struggled with both of these due to Thiamine Deficiency. You said you had anxiety and depression, heartburn, constant fatigue, irritability and joint pain. These are all symptoms Thiamine deficiency. And the surreal feeling... "i don’t even k...

    Welcome, @Chickennugget88! Being checked for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for Celiac people. Our bodies need B12 Cobalamine, B2 Riboflavin, B6 Pyridoxine, and B9 Folate to make red blood cells. Iron is absorbed better if taken with Vitamin C. Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed. So a good B Complex supplement...

    That's great you've decided to try Thiamine! Let us know your results! I also take Allithiamine and Benfotiamine, both are fat soluble forms of Thiamine that help immensely because they can get into cells easily. You may prefer one of them to the thiamine hydrochloride. The WHO uses thiamine hydrochloride because it is cheaper and readily available...

    @ellen101, Welcome to the forum! I have had problems with my voice, stuttering, voice cracking and not being able to get words out when I was deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1. Thiamine deficiency can happen in Celiac Disease because of malabsorption, but thiamine deficiency can occur without Celiac Disease if a person eats a diet lacking...

    We need gluten free bakeries!

    @itarachiu, and dear readers, These are symptoms I have experienced while deficient in B vitamins, especially Thiamine. There's eight B vitamins. The eight B vitamins work together, so if we're deficient in one, we're probably low in the others as well. So it's best to supplement all eight. Thiamine can become deficient quickest because...

    Since you have had positive antibody tests and symptoms, it may be wise to have further genetic testing done to look for other Celiac variants. Are you including dairy in your diet? Any medications?
  25. knitty kitty
    Benfotiamine helps with intestinal healing along with tryptophan and Theanine. Benfotiamine helps with insulin production and sensitivity in Diabetes. The pancreas uses lots of Thiamine. Most Diabetics are deficient in Thiamine. (One of those chicken/egg questions is ... which comes first, thiamine deficiency or diabetes?) The common pharmaceutical...
