When Gianna was almost two years old, she began experiencing bad stomach aches and other gastrointestinal problems. Doctors were baffled

allergy to me screams hives, throat closings, generally bad things along those lines. Where as an intolerence is more of a tummy troubles, aches, and headaches type of thing :ph34r: I must be the only one to think that way.

Allergy is EpiPen time. Allergy is making my hubs drive himself to the ER when his throat started closing, because I had never had a driver's license at that point, and having them jab his arm as he was walking in :blink:

They are definitely not talking about allergy here, but it does make it sound more dramatic, if... totally WRONG :ph34r:

This mother is an idiot.

And while she's giving her kid a handful of Goldfish crackers, why not let her puff on a cigarette too? A little couldn't hurt her, right?

      Thank you for these thoughts, Knitty. Trents: Yes. I would say we are taking it relatively light on his belly because it's been upset, so no heavy/excessive dairy, but he has had some cheese here and there. Not high quantities, however, and tests were negative for lactose intolerance.

      Being low in Thiamine B1 can cause fingers and toes to be cold all the time.  Thiamine deficiency affects body temperature regulation and sleep/wake cycles.   Thiamine deficiency-induced disruptions in the diurnal rhythm and regulation of body temperature in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9804367/

      I found some information that may be helpful to you. https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/echinacea#:~:text=However%2C some people have allergic,for short periods of time. And... Role of Echinacea in the management and prevention of acute respiratory tract infections in children: A systematic review of the evidence https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41234257/   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Vitamins are all natural.  They are found in food.  With Celiac disease, we may not absorb sufficient quantities needed.  We cannot make vitamins, so we need to get them from foods and supplements while we're healing.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay.   One of my favorite vitamins is Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.  It has really improved my gastrointestinal health.  I took Benfotiamine to help get rid of my SIBO.  Thiamine (Benfotiamine) help keep the SIBO under control.

      Welcome to the forum, @dsfraley, I recognize those symptoms as being related to Thiamine B1 deficiency, Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  I've had Gastrointestinal Beriberi and my doctors sent me to a psychiatrist.  It's not in ones head.  Thiamine deficiency covers all the symptoms you've mentioned.  With such a high Marsh score, correction of nutritional deficiencies is extremely important.  Thiamine deficiency is the first to manifest because thiamine stores run out quicker than other vitamins.   Ask your doctor for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay as soon as possible!  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is under recognized by doctors.   Thiamine can be administered by doctors by IV.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency and gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Because thiamine is safe, there is no harm in trying Thiamine if only to rule Thiamine deficiency out.   Correction as soon as possible is important as symptoms can increase in severity and become life threatening.
