Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone plans to go to this conference - - it looks like a really great day, lots of good speakers, etc. I definitely plan on going and wonder if anybody else wants to meet me there, in person!

Here's a link - - -

No- that's few years away. Let me see what I can finagle.

I just might go to this. Looks interesting and fun. Now, if I still have a job and don't have to have surgery around that time I'm set. :P

Oooh. A travel possibility that involves a chance to hobnob and eat with people in the know? An opportunity to connect voices and bodies with avatars? Hmmmmmm.

I've got a friend in Berkeley who's been asking me to come out....

Hey Susan:

I might be there. I have been 2 previous years. They have a really great lunch and lot's of samples of gluten-free foods.

Maybe those of us that are going can meet up somewhere?

I am going!! I'm actually brand new to all this, but I could not miss a chance to see/meet Danna Korn. I've spoken with her online a few times, and just to be around others who "get it" will be nice. Plus... I need a break from my kids. =)

Susan - Thanks for posting that. It looks very interesting. My sister is a doctor at Stanford. I could probably get her to come with me, except that she's having a baby at the end of August. Does anyone know if they have a conference every year?

Thanks Sally! I need to check my work schedule and see if I can get some time off. If not this year, next year for sure - and I'll drag my sis with me. She's suspicious that she may also be gluten intolerant.

This is really great, girls! I'm so excited about it. Yes, we must meet each other in person! Karen - maybe the baby will come early - or late - - ;) would be great if she could go. Can she get us discounts? I am so broke.... :huh: My late father went to Stanford, undergrad and graduate school, so I went to all the kooky football games....such memories. So I'm really excited that it's held there.

The more the merrier! Let's all GO! :rolleyes:

Unbelieveably, I'm in Kansas.... so it's going to be a big trip! My daughter and I are both newly dx as gluten intolerant. I'm not getting the answers and support that I would like, around here, so when I received the email about the conference, I told my dh that I felt it was my duty, as a parent, to go and educate myself by those who ARE educated on the subject. =)

I'm actually very excited, but nervous about traveling alone - and driving in California! =)

Well, here's a tip I can give you about travel. See if there is ANY way possible you can fly into the San Jose airport (about a 1/2 hour south of Palo Alto) instead of San FRancisco - - - that place, and driving out of there, is a freaking nightmare!!! And you don't want to start out your trip wtih a nervous breakdown... :blink:

I'm so excited for you, and we'll have to have an area where all of us from this forum meet up!

San Jose's the closest airport, but if you can't get a good flight there (don't see why that'd be a problem though), Oakland would probably be easier than San Francisco. I grew up in San Jose and used SFO before, so never really thought of it as a traffic nightmare, more than any other major airport, though. :-P

Yep, when I've been getting my quotes, I've been looking at San Jose rather than San Fran!! =)

I've got a decent quote, now I just have to wait for my paycheck at the end of the month!!!!

Oh yeah, Tiffany, totally forgot about Oakland.

I grew up in Fresno - and then lived the sleepy tourist burg of Monterey for many years - - driving in San Francisco has always, I believe every single time until the last few years, had me in tears..... :unsure: a total nightmare for the non-native! and jayhawk is from Kansas!!

lol... driving almost anywhere else makes me scream bloody murder at people who can't go over the speed limit, are too chicken to merge at freeway speeds, and let everyone and their brother move over before continuing on. :-) maybe just living in california is it's own "aggresive driving" course. :-P SF, itself, is definitely worse since it's SO dense. definitely avoiding SF (outside of public transportation) is probably a good idea, and doable in that area.

funny, I never think of Montery as sleepy or touristy... I suppose it is, but we'd go there for dinner once or twice a month. good seafood. :-)

Cool, all the way from Kansas! How cool! I'm pretty sure I'll be there, so getting together would be great! Besides, I have to meet the keeper of our wonderful dingos. :D I should go ahead and register now so that I will be SURE to go, lol.

LOL!!! Yep, I think you're on to something with the "aggressive driving" course. :lol: I will NOT drive in SF! :lol:

OH dear....I think I'm one of those (reformed) aggressive drivers.....17 - - that's right - - 17 speeding tickets in my driving history (not one for the last 10 years, though! :rolleyes: )....major tailgater...people hated me... :ph34r:

Yes, Donna, you must come!!! Wish I could bring the dingos....they'll be hanging at my best friend's house, in San Jose.

Oh Tiffany, try living in Monterey for 7 years....pretty sleepy and touristy - you just have to make your own fun and find lots of friends! did so much hiking there....Great places to eat, too, and I ate out many times per week....those were the days..... :)

OK, I'm from the KC Metro, so I've got the agressive driving thing down pretty well. Though, I'm sure I still don't rank up there at all with Californians! :blink:;)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
