celiac3270, I didn't realize that you had been hospitalized. I am glad to hear that you are home again after your second hospital visit and pray that this surgery will be the answer for you. Cheers, Ruth S. Strack 2004

celiac3270, Wishing you a speedy and uneventful (except for happiness and joy) recovery. Rest, then let us know how you are doing.

(By the way, which hospital were you at for this surgery?)

Columbia Presbyterian -- the same hospital that Dr. Greene and my GI (celiac-specialist) practice at.

And thank you....the swelling went down a little bit with the pill--and I've just been relaxing, posting, and reading (right now it's Bringing Down the House -- a NY Times bestseller that I'm really enjoying right now).....no further incident w/ anything :)

Hi celiac3270.....hope you are doing better. Who is the dr that you see at Columbia. I called ther last month to make an appt as I am moving to NJ this week and wanted to see Peter Green. Of course he is very busy and does not take my ins. They suggested that I see an associate. I think her name was Dr Lee.

I didn't make the appt yet but would love to hear about your experience there.

I saw a GI dr in NJ last month and he was OK....not Columbia material though.

Take care of yourself,

Dr. Green doesn't take children so, since I'm only 14, I see Dr. Joseph Levy. Everyone, it seems, who has ever had him has been extremely pleased--he takes the time to talk to you, confident, reassuring, etc. He's only a pediatric doctor, though....I assume that you meant my normal GI, who specializes in celiac, at Columbia

Awwwww... I feel bad, I haven't been around and didn't know! I'm so glad you are home. FYI -- if you (or anyone else) ever needs any kind of ng tube again (let's hope NOT) ask the nurses for chloroseptic when they place it, and for as long as you have it. Doesn't remove the pain entirely, but for some people it can help take the edge off.

Let's pray this is going to make the difference for you, after so much searching for help! You're the man! :)

      Schar's products contain wheat!

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      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...

      @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...

Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!

      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/

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.
