Dutch Fundraiser for Celiac Disease

I am sharing this celiac disease fundraiser:

Quote

My girlfriend has celiac disease and this has affected us both a lot. We make it work by being extra cautious she doesn’t ingest any gluten but I can see how sometimes this disease really takes a toll on her health and energy levels. To support her and other people suffering from celiac disease I decided to compete in a 100km trail run in The Netherlands this year. By running this race I’m trying to raise awareness and funds for this auto-immune disease and to aid the scientific research that’s being done on it. 

My aim is to raise 5000.00 by the end of October. The race date is October 24. To reach this goal I am working closely together with the Dutch celiac foundation (Nederlandse Coeliakie Vereniging) and I will donate the raised funds to them so they can ensure the funds are used for scientific research into celiac disease. The foundation has already featured me and my girlfriend in their magazine and I have also gotten the support of several small businesses to sponsor me.  

However to reach my goal I will need all the support I can get and I was wondering if there is any possibility that you would be able to help me? Sponsorship would be amazing but even just the support of spreading the word out there about my fundraiser would be great. I wanted to share my website https://dannystrail.nl/en/ with you so you can have look at what exactly I’m doing for celiac disease.    

In 2019 I did a 100k race once before. I finished with a time of 17:58 hours while the cut-off time was 18 hours. This was my first time and I wasn’t quite confident enough back then to align the race for a charity event. But this time I’m giving it my all and I’m running the same race for celiac disease. It will be tough once again but I’m confident I can do it. I wrote my experiences of the first 100k race in a blog, this might give you some insight in what I’ll be going through: https://dannystrail.nl/en/nieuws-en-blogs/ 

I’m hoping that you can help me and my girlfriend to raise funds for the fight against celiac disease and I’m looking forward to your reply. 

Sincerely, 

Danny

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
