I know I'm late to the party, but I thought these articles are very interesting. Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms. Thiamine deficiency is linked to Long haulers syndrome, too.

Curious if I should quit my job
@ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded... -

Still unsure.....
@badastronaut, I'm so glad you got your folate and zinc up! I'm a big fan of Benfotiamine. It's a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing. I take 250 mg Benfotiamine with the first two meals of the day along with a B 50 Complex. The B vitamins all work together so taking a B Complex with Benfotiamine is great. I also take a form of... -

Help needed
@nanny marley, I had great improvement by supplementing with a B Complex and extra thiamine in the form Benfotiamine which promotes intestinal healing. I followed the AutoImmune Protocol Diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. The AIP diet removes everything from the diet that can be irritating or hard to digest...- 1

- cristiana replied to Redlima's topic in Related Issues & Disorders3SSRI stopped working after gluten free diet due to Celiac diag
Hi @Redlima My anxiety hit before diagnosis, and in fact it was anxiety which led me to see a doctor who put me on the road of various blood tests which revealed iron deficiency, raised globulin levels and borderline B12. At first my GP suspected a type of cancer, and didn't really know what else to make of it until about six months down the road when...- 1

Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test too, that tested for wheat iggs, igas and several other things, among which were Transglutaminases. The only one that came up as high for me was the tTG3 igg result, which shows an autoimmune response in the skin, commonly dermatitis herpetiformis in celiac patients. I was told it was gluten causing it but not celiac. Fast forward to now, I still have hives, I've been gluten free (although I have no reation to gluten when I accidentally have it), and I've been doing research to try and figure out what is wrong. I've heard that those initial igg tests are unreliable, and that maybe gluten isn't the issue, but from what I've read it sounds like the Transglutaminase tests are very reliable? I'm wondering if I somehow got a false positive, because I definitely don't have dermatitis herpetiformis or any typical celiac rashes. Has anyone had a similar experience? -

@ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing. I agree with @Scott Adams. Play your cards close to your chest. Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now. Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott said. Prayers and Best Wishes sent. Keep us posted on your progress! -

@badastronaut, I'm so glad you got your folate and zinc up! I'm a big fan of Benfotiamine. It's a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing. I take 250 mg Benfotiamine with the first two meals of the day along with a B 50 Complex. The B vitamins all work together so taking a B Complex with Benfotiamine is great. I also take a form of thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with brain function, anxiety and depression. Start off with small doses (50 mg) and increase doses as long as you see improvement. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/#:~:text=Benfotiamine (Fig.,]%2C [62]]. -

I followed the AutoImmune Protocol Diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. The AIP diet removes everything from the diet that can be irritating or hard to digest. After a period of time to heal, other foods are slowly added back into the diet if tolerated.
