Do Body Fat Patterns Influence Celiac Disease Risk? New Study Explores the "Immunological Shield" Theory (+Video)
If you read the original article, the study finds that women with Celiac are "apple" shaped, while women without Celiac are "pear" shaped. So, having skinny arms and legs while carrying more weight in the abdomen, apple shaped, is found with Celiac Disease. Women who carry their weight in hips and thighs, pear shaped, have the lipedema-like...- autoimmunity

@glucel, Yes, most doctors prefer to prescribe pharmaceuticals than delve into vitamins because they aren't educated about the health impact vitamins and minerals can make in medical school. Thiamine, especially Benfotiamine, has been shown to be protective to the kidneys. Benfotiamine improves kidney function! Especially in people on dialysis. Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses! PLEASE Read! Prevention of Incipient Diabetic Nephropathy by High-Dose Thiamine and Benfotiamine https://diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/article-abstract/52/8/2110/13835/ Benfotiamine Protects against Peritoneal and Kidney Damage in Peritoneal Dialysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3083313/ Prevention of incipient diabetic nephropathy by high-dose thiamine and benfotiamine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12882930/ If more than half your plate is carbohydrates, you need more Thiamine! High carbohydrate diets induce thiamine because as the carbohydrate load us increased, an increased amount of thiamine is needed to process them. I have been taking high dose thiamine as thiamine hcl and Benfotiamine for over ten years. I have not had any bad experiences with it. I no longer have any symptoms that reflect type two diabetes. Doctors can't profit from prescribing vitamins because they can't be patented. They profit from pharmaceuticals and medical procedures necessitated by health conditions that could be remedied, or at least improved, with essential vitamins and minerals! Don't fear thiamine! Do discuss the benefits with your doctor. Ask if you can take 300 mg Benfotiamine in his office under medical supervision if you're nervous. Most people have improved health within a short period of time. You've already seen improvement with low dose thiamine hcl. Jump in with both feet! -
I found credible scientific evidence from The World Heath Organization, pertaining to nutrients in drinking-water. There are several sections within the paper regarding nutrient depleted water (aka RO water) Below is a small sample from the PDF which is linked further below. The possible adverse consequences of low mineral content water consumption are discussed in the following categories: • Direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions. • Little or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low-mineral water. • Low intake of other essential elements and microelements. • Loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food. • Possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals. I highly recommend downloading the PDF and reviewing it for yourself. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9241593989

Great info, thanks. Luckily I am taking thiamin hcl 100mg at lunch and the 25 mg in morning b complex is made up of hcl and cocarboxlase. I have read many of your writings about thiamin and understand/believe that the body gets rid of the excess. One thing that a gluten-free diet has done for me is no microscopic blood in urine after a lifetime of it, at least so far, but in other aspects my kidneys not so good. My kidneys have never been completely healthy and as an old guy have only gotten worse. My brother is on dialysis so I am more than concerned about excessive thiamin affect on the kidneys. It would be great to check with a dr about this but most of the time they have no interest in anything but drugs. So yes I would love to load up on b1 but it was actually a big decision for me to add 100 mg at noon time a few months ago. Normally my so called bigger meal, or at least where meat is consumed is at mid day. I eat way too much bread and cereals at night and usually stay away from meat as I try to limit cholesterol, although I do sneak a hard boiled egg in there. Maybe a half a hamburger or something like that could help curb the appetite.

Hi @Maureen armey Just one point re: PPIs. Here in the UK the people I know with Barretts have had to take them long term, or H2 blockers instead, despite the fact they have side effects. I feel that it is very important that you follow your consultant's advice re: this type of medication but if you do need to take them longterm, see if they can offer any advice on how to mitigate these potential side effects. I hope you find the information contained via following the link below helpful. Do come back to us if you have any further questions. https://heartburncanceruk.org/blog/should-you-take-ppis-long-term-insights-from-a-gp-and-barretts-patient/ Cristiana

For the past 3 years, I’ve bloated from most powders, e.g. gelatin, Bulk Supplements glutamine. I don’t eat processed food at all. I know now I’ve had SIBO for 3 years. I’ve been keto for 12 years, except 3 years ago I started eating more starch and fruit. Appears trehalose, a disaccharide of glucose, is used as a stabilizer in LOTS of food, and there are glowing articles about it being a safe low glycemic index sweetener. But there’s evidence it adversely impacts the gut biome. "...realistic trehalose consumption from natural sources could be estimated at < 0.3 g per person per day (USA)." It’s commonly used in "baked goods, breakfast cereals, rice and pasta, processed vegetables, fruit (dried and juiced), milk products, meat and fish products, sweets, chewing gum, and ice cream...the FDA GRAS report for trehalose considers a potential mean consumption level of 34.43 g day...three epidemic strains of Clostridium difficile have evolved independent mechanisms to better metabolize this nutrient resource." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6546318/ "Trehalose binds water, prevents oxidation, and preserves the structure of food during freezing and heating. It also improves the taste while causing slightly milder blood glucose spikes. These properties made trehalose a common food additive in: Dried and frozen food Instant food (noodles, rice, soups) Sugar coatings and fillings Baked goods Seafood Most manufacturers label trehalose under “added sugars” or “natural flavors.” People who don’t tolerate mushrooms probably lack trehalase." https://supplements.selfdecode.com/blog/trehalose-health-benefits/#Trehalose_Food_Sources Note that FDA allows food labels to exclude mention of any component that is <0.5%. It’s called the averaging rule, and the component is not on the label. A food can have very many components that are each <0.5%. So reading the label is no assurance that you know what you’re consuming. https://www.allergy-insight.com/trehalose-intolerance/ "...trehalose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme trehalase...can be genetic, or caused by severe gastroenteritis and other gut diseases." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18777247/ Characterization of alpha,alpha-trehalase released in the intestinal lumen by the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii "...trehalase deficiency is more common than is believed and that oral administration of S. boulardii could be beneficial in patients with digestive symptoms caused by trehalose intolerance." I ferment fruit juice with Florastor to greatly increase the colony count. It's easy and delicious. I drink 1/2 cup with any trehalose source, and it helps.
