Inositol and Theanine


ch88

Recommended Posts

Inositol is a modified sugar. The body can make some of it under ideal circumstances so it is not technically considered a vitamin.  Some people might not absorb it very well though or their bodies might not make enough.  Cells need inositol to function properly. Inositol is beneficial for treating panic attacks and also for thyroid problems such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. 

Inositol is necessary for basic cellular processes such as the absorption of iodine, gene expression, and calcium balance. 

Here are some links on the benefits of Inositol:

And on Inositol along with Selenium.

Theanine is an amino acid found in mushrooms and green tea. It has a lot of anti-inflammatory properties. The cells in the intestine have transporters which will absorb amino acids or exchange one amino acid for another. Theanine boosts the absorption of glutamine (which is the main amino acid that cells in the intestine need to grow) and boosts tight junction proteins.

Also theanine interferes with a celiac disease process (I don't have access to the full paper but here are some parts of it and I attached a graph that I found.).

Scroll down one on the link below, for more information

For me inositol and theanine supplementation seems to be extremely extremely effective. I used to have bad ibs symptoms from alcohol, dairy and corn grain and a number of other things.  These ingredients would also cause pain in my thyroid (the pain wasn't very strong but I could definitely feel it was inflamed) as well as other symptoms. Now I am not noticing any symptoms even after I introduce these foods back. I tried glutamine supplementation, collagen protein as well as taking all sorts of vitamins and eating a low inflammation diet.  The vitamins did seem to improve my mood some but didn't help with the the food sensitivities or the thyroid pain.

Ch88,

I like good pure research....because it lines out what is happening in our bodies....giving us clues to what is wrong with us....

I tried the Theanine....popular for those with depression....it did not help me....I will post the trace mineral/element research in the Celiac and Diabetes thread...which is helping my blood sugar issues.

If you are still having IBS problems try some Tryptophan....

It can help IBS....see this research on it...entitled  "Tryptophan: ‘essential’ for the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome?"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4266036/

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

Posterboy.

      I have had very mild rosacea on my cheeks for years. I also am celiac abd have recently been diagnosed with rosacea in one eye. I have been prescribed eye drops during the day and a gel at night.

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA Variants Detected: HLA DQA1*05 and again HLA DQA1*05 HLA DQB1*0201 and again HLA DQB1*0201

      Understanding that normal is <15, I started off with 250+, then using the same lab it took two years to get to 11, the last test was 3. So, it jumped back up for some reason which is why I suspected gluten in my diet somewhere. I do not do dairy, eggs, oats, or soy. I am vegan and gluten free, and take numerous supplements with the help of this forum.

      I just want to post this new study here--it seems that for those who don't recover on a gluten-free diet may be in this group: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adp6812
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
