This is a bit of a information about me/explanation to the forum about one of my non celiac issues. Also a bit of an apology, to anyone I might offend or annoy.

I also have a form of Autism called Asperger Syndrome, and sometimes if not all the time I act a bit odd, respond in unique ways, or show a odd interest in things. I also tend to put odd perspectives, become a bit obsessed, and overlay misconceptions etc. Best way to describe my issue is if you have seen Big Bang Theory the American TV show. I am Sheldon, his character shows all the main characteristics of Asperger Syndrome but a bit exaggerated.  Feel free to do research on it if you wish.

This is just a bit of a explanation/PSA about quirks that might appear from me in ways I respond and interact with others. What brought this up is I recently was made aware that I unknowingly offended some people IRL in a group, and we had to sit down and go over this issue. You have to be BLUNT with me about my issues I do not notice them, and many times what seems completely normal from my perspective of interaction is not by most standards, I also do not pick up on ques and hints much, and take many things at face value and assume a lot. Just pull me aside and PM me if this happens here.

Just thought I would come about about this part of it

Try not to be too concerned. I am also in that group as are my adult children. Last nights BBT with Sheldon trying to decide on which game system to buy really hits home in a way that is much more humorous than was felt when dealing with it in reality.  It is the differnces in people that make the world more interesting. Embrace yours without apology.

The more people feel free to be who they are, the better, I say! Go forth and express whatever way you see fit. I like that you claimed your space.

I follow your content so your blunt style is not a deal breaker for me. Perhaps we all need a little Sheldon in our lives.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
