3 Healthy Baby Boys 5, 3 And 1

:rolleyes:

Everyone is different. I have had C.D. for over 10 years now and I am pretty healthy considering I have not stayed on my diet faithfully. I had three pretty normal pregnancies in which I was blessed with my little baseball team of boys.

One problem I had was Early Labor with all three. About 7 months into the pregnancies, I would go into labor. If there are any of you that would like details, I would be happy to share.

I have not tested my kids yet because they have been growing well and look wonderful.

Had no problems at all conceiving or being pregnant and I cheated on my diet alot during cravings. :unsure:

Maybe you should test the boys. My brother went through most of his life symptom-free but had Celiacs the whole time. It would have benifited him (and myself) to be diagnosed at an early age rather than the latter.

You had all three of them at 7 months? Maybe it's something unique about you.

;) you are so very blessed missingmybread---my sister and i both had difficult pregnancies--she lost her first baby at fullterm, her 2nd was born 6 wks early, the 3rd was 4 wks early-----my 1st was a normal pregnancy, but the other 4 were all difficult--i was sick most nights--the last 2 were the worst--and my last baby, my daughter, was born with a dislocated hip, or so we thought--during surgery they found that she had no hip socket on that one side and now, i realize it was probably because of the celiacs that she had that birth defect--i didnt gain anything when pregnant with her, i lost 40#----i know it wasnt my fault, but i still hurt for her cause she has had a life of pain with that hip and she always will---you are so blessed to have healthy babies--always remember that---deb

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time.  This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it.  Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down.   Thiamine Hydrochloride is great.  Benfotiamine is wonderful, too.   Retaining water, edema, is a symptom of low thiamine.  I'd bloat up like a puffer fish.   The ingrown toenail problems I had that I attribute to Niacin deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency.  My toenails curled in and grew thick and yellow, thickened heels.  It was awful.   So glad you're going to give thiamine hydrochloride a try!   Let me know how it goes.  You may feel worse before you feel better, the thiamine paradox, but it does clear up.  It's like a car back firing if it hasn't been run for a while.   Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks again, I'll keep pressing on.  🤞

      @Known1, Search for "niacin flush fades the longer you use it" and "Niacin flush worse if deficient".   It takes a couple to three weeks for the body to adjust and you're at that point now, so things should improve. Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light.  If not absorbed, excreted.  Absorption of riboflavin will improve as the body starts healing the intestinal lining and villi grow back.   You could skip the multivitamin instead.

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are measured from the beginning of a meal in these official numbers. In regards to the thiamin supplement I have: it says it is thiamine mononitrate. I had not until now been aware there were different types (it seems I find that is the case with everything, including the magnesium I take!) and this one I have is the only one available in my local stores. I know it makes my pee smell strong when I take it which would seem to indicate my body is absorbing enough that the remainder gets ejected, but I could be wrong. Of course, I'm willing to try anything reasonable to correct this long standing condition, whatever it might be so I will try and get thiamin hydrochloride. Back on the note of diabetes (potentially) I haven't had the blood test for a while and I did notice ingrown toenail type infections a few times in the last 3 years that kept coming back. I heard that diabetes caused high urination. But eating sugar and elevated blood sugar causes the opposite in me. If I eat a lot of sugar I retain water, like big time. If I ate a bunch o sugar in the afternoon say, I can produce little enough urine that I can go over 12 hours and have nowhere near enough urine to need to void in that time or longer which seems abnormal.

      @knitty kitty For me, the flushing lasts about 10 hours and not just 60-90 minutes after consuming the vitamins.  I am 10-days into taking this already.  My urine is neon colored around the clock and I drink between 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon of water per day.  I'll stick with 2 a day for now, but am honestly quite hesitant to do so. I am curious, where are you reading "the worse the flush, the more your body needs the niacin"?  I have been searching for that, but haven't found that anywhere.
