Chowing down on fresh pear sauce with Moroccon cinnamon. Apparently I was more tense yesterday than I realized because my jaw is really frickin' sore.

The pirate has sailed off for parts unknown, ok, Des Moines, WA, but it's unknown to me, to visit a childhood friend. Cats are really really sick of me ignoring them to play on the computer.

Cupcakes would be yummy, but every dish I own is piled in the sink.

Guess I couldn't chew them anyway....

Sorry 'bout yer jaw Jess. And that your pirate has sailed off for a bit. I get mine for 13 more days before he ships out again. He's a captain for a major barge line. He's gone from the 15-last day of every month. I'm learning how to be in a relationship with someone that I ACTUALLY want to be around. I didn't know I could miss someone that much. And I cry when he LEAVES!!! With the ex, I used to cry when he came home... :huh:

I'll tell you the best story that makes me cry every time.

After I had moved out, there was a night that ex and I were fighting big time, he wouldn't let me see the kids, he was harassing me, saying horrible things, threatening to tell the kids a bunch of lies to punish me for leaving him, etc... The norm for what I've been dealing with but I had reached my breaking point. Anyway, bf and I had been only talking at this point, friends. He calls and I'm hysterical, I can't talk, can barely breathe. I scream at him that I'm sick of everyone's sh!t and I don't want to talk. I hung up on him, took a valium and went to bed. An hour later someone is banging on my door. I opened it, saw him standing there, said, "What are you doing here?" (he lives an hour away!) and then turned around and went back to bed crying. He followed me in, sat down, took my hand in one hand and ran his fingers along my temple with the other. I said, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" And quietly, he said, "I just want to help you..." And he sat there, all night next to me, never touching me other than holding my hand. In the morning, I got up to go to work and he walked with me to the door, gave me a quiet kiss on the lips and went to his truck.

It was all over after that. For then I knew. :wub:

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.
    • trents
      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
