I have had celiac for 3 years. I am doing much better except for symptoms of fatigue, bad constipation, brain fog and depression. I have always been a picky eater and never wanted to do with fruits and veggies.  Could i be hungry all the time since i am missing certain nutrients  in fruit  and veggies that I can’t  get in other foods?

It's possible that your diet is causing you to miss certain key vitamins or minerals, and if you skip large varieties of fruits or vegetables it would be a great idea for you to take a good multi-vitamin & minerals. If possible it might be a good idea for you to have your doctor test you for any deficiencies.

      Struggling with gluten challenge and not sure it’s worth it - looking for advice / experiences / encouragement

      I found these articles interesting. Among people already diagnosed with Celiac Disease, the HLA DQ B1*02 allele is present in about 95%......

      This new company claims to offer the most comprehensive genetic tests on the market for celiac disease, and we'll be doing a product review article (sponsored) on them soon.

      Is Thiamine Deficiency the Beginning of Celiac Disease?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Mari,  I found Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs' website hormonesmatter.com most helpful in learning about thiamine. https://hormonesmatter.com/talking-about-thiamine/ I thought these might interest you...

      MORE brain fog since dx - 1.5 years in. Vitamin deficiencies?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      In situations where there is a thiamine deficiency, the liver has a decreased capacity to store fat soluble vitamins like Vitamins A, D and E, and releases them into the bloodstream.  Also in thiamine deficiency, the body can't utilize B12, B6 Pyridoxine, and Folate B 9 so they may run high.   Thiamine levels are not regularly checked.  Altered mental status is a symptom of thiamine deficiency.  However, thiamine deficiency is frequently overlooked in malnutrition.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay gives a better reflection of thiamine status than a blood test.   I had serious brain fog which was only improved with high dose thiamine supplementation.  My doctors did not recognize the symptoms (brain fog aka Wernickes Encephalopathy, and gastrointestinal Beriberi).  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency can lead to heart attacks, so please get checked.   Interesting Reading: Neurological, Psychiatric, and Biochemical Aspects of Thiamine Deficiency in Children and Adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6459027/ A Complex Interplay of Vitamin B1 and B6 Metabolism with Cognition, Brain Structure, and Functional Connectivity in Older Adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5663975/ High-dose vitamin B1 therapy prevents the development of experimental fatty liver driven by overnutrition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7988776/

      The development of genetics is progressing at such a rapid rate!  It's mind boggling!
