Wanting to know if anyone else with celiac has experienced excessive plantar warts. 
I had 3 cutout on the same spot on my toe in 3 months and 2 on my heal. 
Doctor said he hadn’t seen anything like it in his 30 years of podiatry.

Interesting that you mention this, but for at least 5 years of my life I had a miserable time dealing with plantar warts, and it was around the time I got diagnosed with celiac disease. I believe they are due to the HPV virus, which is very common in adults, but I had them treated several times, including surgery and an experimental drug called DNCB, but nothing worked. In the end I used duct tape, which finally got rid of them. Basically you keep them covered with duct ta[e 24/7, and only take it off in the shower, but replace it after. After a couple of weeks they come out when you pull the tape off.

I had issues with plantar warts when I was younger but not since going gluten free. Warts are viruses but who knows if we’re somehow more susceptible. I’ve not seen any studies that correlate warts with celiac or gluten.

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.

      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
