    Was your thiamine level tested? Which test was used to measure it? Thiamine deficiency can still occur although blood levels are within "normal" levels because blood tests don't accurately measure the amount of thiamine in the tissues. The body will starve the tissues in order to maintain thiamine level in the blood so thiamine will get into the brain...

    Follow your cardiac doctor's advice. Remain gluten free. A genetic test for common genes in Celiac Disease may be a better option for you as you won't have to endure a gluten challenge for a genetic test. Atrial fibrillation, POTS, and water retention are all symptoms of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine Vitamin B1 is one of the B vitamins that...

    Please provide a source or reference for this statement.

    Welcome to the forum! No, don't rule it out yet. How long were you eating no gluten or low gluten? It takes about six to eight weeks to build up an autoimmune reaction that is measurable by those tests. It is possible that you went gluten free long enough for your immune system to calm down and the two week gluten challenge was not long...

    Welcome to the club! (Not diagnostic, just familiar symptomology commonly seen in Celiac Disease).

    A person only needs one of the Celiac genes. It doesn't have to be paired with another. Could your daughter's PMLE actually be Dermatitis Herpetiformis? Or Vitamin B3 Niacin deficiency (pellagra) which causes similar photo sensitive skin eruptions? Curious, knitty kitty

    Plantar fascia are the tendons that connect the toes to the heel. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of any of these tendons. The pain can be at the attachment point of these tendons at the heel, across the sole of the foot to the toes, on the outside of the foot, the middle or the inside of the foot. A ganglion cyst is smashed with a thick book...

    Deficiencies in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C can cause those.

    @LH7, Welcome to the forum! You might find this thread an interesting and informative read....

    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.....

    This article is very interesting. https://eandv.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40662-020-00199-y Nutritional and medical food therapies for diabetic retinopathy My type two diabetes is under control with thiamine supplementation and Autoimmune Protocol Diet.

    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...
