- knitty kitty replied to Scatterbrain's topic in Sports and Fitness9Feel like I’m starting over
Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins... -

I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s. Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol. Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog. I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February. My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t ... -

Feel like I’m starting over
@Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating... -

Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune... -

Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract. You can test this at home. YouTube has instructional videos. Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex. The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed. Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride. Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes. Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride. We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather. Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing. The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day. The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days. I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient. It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia. Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD. I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.

My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high). All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low. I have more labs coming up in Dec. I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks. -

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies. Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?

Yes. I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy. Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates did very little to help with symptoms
