Does anyone else get red arm or face after eating gluten? It happens about 30min after eating gluten, they get all rosy like I've been working out or something.

Does this only happen when you eat gluten???? I get that way but it happens with alot of foods. I do have Roascea tho. This could also be something you want to check into.

Yes I have had the same problem. What I have found out however; is that I probably have a condition called Rosacea. This is a skin condition which is sometimes referred to as "the curse of the Celts", which means, just as with Celiac Disease,those who are from Irish heritage or Northern European heritage are more prone to have the condition. With Rosacea you will notice redness around the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin, and your skin may be very sensitive to changes in temperature both hot and cold. Also, if you eat something which is highly seasoned with pepper it can cause flushing of the face and neck. I was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease after years of suffering multiple symptoms and being misdiagnosed by several Doctors. The Rosacea began to get more noticeable during the cold winter weather, my skin was very dry, appeared pink, and burned after a bath or shower. I have not been to a Dermatologist yet , but just from reading info I have found on the internet I am reasonably sure I have Rosacea. They do not know for sure what causes the problem, some people have to be treated with antibiotics or steroid creams, and a patient must be very careful not to eat spicey foods. Some researchers believe that caffiene in coffee and tea should be avoided, and interestingly enough, some patients are being told to avoid wheat in their diet. Check out some info on the net, and see if it sounds like your problem. Also, read labels carefully to be sure that something you are eating might contain MSG; I have found that MSG will make my face and neck flush, and also it makes my heart rate increase. Many restaurant foods contain MSG seasoning, it can play havoc with someone who suffers from Celiac Disease.

      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?
