Beri Beri

I was wondering if anyone else had gotten Beriberi and how they treated it. By the time I had gotten to the doctor my thiamine was barely within the normal range but it had already caused inflammation in my gastro tract and nerves in my back. I was wondering how much thiamine was added to the daily diet and for how long to get things working again. Unfortunately my doctor didn't even believe that I could have it because it just doesn't happen in the Western world except to malnourished people. Of course they don't believe I have Celiac either.

Hey Eagle:

Beriberi, huh? Wow. Well, celiac can certainly cause malnutrition. I am in the process of a dx for neuro problems that include back spasms, weak legs and arms. My PCP only tested me for B12, which was in the 600's. I guess she feels that if my B12 is w/i normal ranges, the rest of my ranges should be OK. Hmmm. How were your other nutrient levels besides the thiamin deficiency?

Anyway, sorry I don't have any info for ya, but I thought it was interesting that you had gotten Beriberi. I wish you much success with your recovery!!!!!

Nama :)

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!
