Thank you all so very much! I deeply appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and good wishes on behalf of my family.

Lynne, I agree that there is power in numbers--and this is one determined group we have here ;)

Nini, Yes, they are definately planning to incorporate alternative/natural therapies along with whatever the doctors recommend. My sister has been consulting with her Kinesiologist.

Liz, You're so right about PE teachers--you are all very special :D

Marcia, Bev and Jestgar, thanks for your comforting words. I'm glad to hear that the people in your lives were able to successfully overcome this.

Ursula, I will never forget your generosity the other day.

Again, thanks to each and every one of you :)

Patti, just finally got on and saw the thread. I am so sorry to hear about your b-i-l. I will keep him in my prayers. Please, keep us updated. How is your sister doing with all of this?

They are lucky to have you in their corner for support.

I have just seen this thread. Of course I will keep positive thoughts and have already stopped and said a prayer. Elementary P. E. teachers are special people, and so are brothers-in-law! Prayers for him, your sister, and all the family. God bless!

Thank you, Jaten--I appreciate it :)

Laura, My sister is not taking this well at all. He is actually holding it together better.

What we're hoping for now is that the scans come out clear in terms of the cancer already spreading. If all clear, they will do surgery that will, hopefully, take care of it. Don't know yet about any additional treatment.

Just checked in and wanted you to know I was thinking of you, your BIL and family.

When you said that your sister wasn't taking it well and that your BIL was handling it better, I think that happens a lot because the family and friends think that there is nothing they can do to solve the problem. They can't cure the one they love. You have no control over the situation and that is really hard. :(

Hugs hugs hugs B

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
