You may want to add a magnesium glycinate supplement because thiamine needs magnesium to work properly.  Do NOT take high doses of magnesium because it acts as a laxative.

Fran4,

I just wanted to say Magnesium Glycinate will not cause a/the Laxative affect that some Magnesium Citrates do in  HIGH doses as Knitty Kitty notes.

The Citrate portion of Mag Citrate turns to Citric Acid in the stomach leading to a Laxative affect in higher doses.

Because Magnesium Glycinate is bound to the amino acid Glycine taking Magnesium Glycinate is a superior form (though a little harder to find and more expensive) it has the least side effects.

Super easy to take! But more difficult to find.

Taking Magnesium Citrate at no more than 200mg per dose and with Meals usually is low enough dose to get the benefits of Magnesium without the laxative effects....

Though Magnesium Citrate in divided doses do not flush most people unless it the Liquid or Powdered (Natural Vitality Natural Calm) form.....then the surface area of the powder/liquid is high enough to trigger a mild laxative effect.....especially on an empty stomach!

So never take Magnesium Citrate on an empty stomach and you should do fine with Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate!

I started to have restful dreams soon after begining Magnesium Citrate and my Charlie Horse IE (Leg Cramps) magically disappeared!

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

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      I hope you all had a nice weekend. Cloudy here in Hampshire. Just a little update that might help someone else one day. Over the weekend, I realised that the brand of almond milk I had been buying contains added iodine. So, I visited the supermarket and chose a different brand (Plenish) that does not contain added iodine and have been drinking that since Saturday. No itching at all yesterday! Another breakthrough (thank you @knitty kitty). I think the added iodine milk may have been what was causing that last 10% itch.  I also met a friend for coffee in town yesterday. The cafe only had soya milk (which I have not been sure I am OK with) but I had 2 delicious latte's made with soya milk. I also had a gluten-free millionaire's shortbread. I am beginning to enjoy the taste of almond and soya milk a lot more than cows milk now.  I seem to be fine with a little sprinkle of cheddar cheese on my jacket potato. I bake them in my air fryer and have them with a big mixed salad and baked beans. I also made a gluten-free tuna pasta bake on Saturday; it's my son's favourite dish. I was  fine with that, too but have noticed that a whole can of tuna sets me off itching.  It is a learning curve. My dermatology appointment is tomorow and I will come back to update. Have a good week everyone.

      An observation about psyllium husk

      By transplantwest · Posted

      Psyllium can't sit for more than a minute in the water or it is like drinking sludge. Swallowed fairly soon means it's more like an flavorless undermixed protein smoothie. Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either. Also starting the Psyllium in small doses, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to tolerate the fiber change.

      Gluten attack severe insomnia and anxiety?

      By DanMc · Posted

      BuddhaBar, I came across this thread while searching online for celiac insomnia (having also scared myself stupid by finding out about fatal insomnia) and it did bring me some piece of mind as it so closely matches my own experience. I know this thread is old now, I hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting your experience.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      By cristiana · Posted

      That's great news, @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour.  And you might find that if you do have asthma, keeping your reflux under control may help, if my experience is anything to go by.
