Gluten Challenge

Hello :)

 

I'm wondering if any of your children had to do the gluten challenge, and if so how long did you do it and did you get positive results. I'm very worried about my daughter. She did the gluten challenge and got to 7 weeks plan, she has been a bucket of sick since starting, was to get to 12 but she caught a cold and it hit her so bad that she ended up in the ER with breathing difficulties so I took her in the next to get her blood tests. I figured we could go in and get a referral even if the results are negative. 

I'm terrified I made a mistake by not waiting longer. We did the bloodwork on Monday and still haven't heard from the doctors. I am trying not to panic but there is something going on with my kid and I want answers. I'm not feeling very patient.

 

thanks for listening

I have heard of one occasion of someone getting positive blood test after only being able to put up with 6 weeks of the challenge. SO there is hope she might get by on this....regardless if that sick I would hope any sane doctor would put a positive dia. on paper...like really look how bad and obvious the reaction is.....wish you luck and praying for you.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I've been in tears a lot seeing my daughter struggle. ?

      If you're more comfortable starting slow, that's fine, but do increase your dose to 500 mg per day as quickly as possible. The World Health Organization recommends 500 mg thiamine HCl per day when deficiency is suspected. Dr. Lonsdale had researched high dose thiamine for decades, and he has used higher doses, 1 to 3 grams in some cases. Like I explained...

      Thanks! I think I'll start slow. See what happens. Should I notice the thiamine working almost straight away if I'm really deficient? What kinda of difference did you notice? More mental? Of also physical in the sense of more energy? Sorry for all the questions!

      Absolutely no danger of overdosing on the stuff. Thiamine is nontoxic, and safe. I had gotten to 1000 mg of Thiamine HCl a day at one point. Do continue taking the multivitamin with the other B vitamins. You may want to add a magnesium supplement because magnesium and thiamine make enzymes together. I like Magnesium l-Threonate (Neuro-Mag by life...

      Thanks so much for your replies! no danger of overdosing on the stuff? or having the other B levels going out of whack? I do take a multivitamin with all te other B vitamins at the RDA level. I have bought the HCL version of Thiamine. How long do you need to use the Thiamine? a short periode on high levels and then back to a maintenance dosage?

      Kudos for trying thiamine! On the ingredients label it should say if it's thiamine hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) or thiamine mononitrate or something else. Thiamine mononitrate is shelf stable and not easily utilized in the body. Yes, go ahead and try a whole 100 mg tablet. Take with a meal. Don't take close to bedtime. Tomorrow take...

The next day take two 100mg tablets at one meal and 100 mg at second meal.  Keep increasing in this manner as long as you notice improvement.   When I first started with thiamine hydrochloride, I felt like the lights in my head were being turned on floor by floor like in a tall skyscraper.  It's just the brain working...
