Birthday Treat Succes!

It's my birthday today, but our aikido club had extra training that I wanted to go to. So I decided to take something to eat and to drink with me for everyone and celebrate that way. I didn't want to take something that I wouldn't be able to eat myself, so I took some gluten free lemon cookies and some gluten-free cinnamon cookies, cucumber chunks and mandarin oranges. The mandarins and cucumbers because it's nice to eat something like that when your all sweaty from training. :) And I had sparkly mineral water and a couple kinds of juice, for the same reason.

It was a big success! :D People especially liked the gluten-free lemon cookies, and even though it wasn't like we were eating birthday cake or anything, it still felt like a celebration. I was so happy to be able to share "my" cookies with other people. :)

During the class, btw, I got thrown by everybody there, 19 times in total because of course this was my nineteenth birthday. ;)

      @DebJ14, Yes, Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the essential vitamins and minerals, not just thiamine.  All the B vitamins work together and many minerals are needed as well.  If one is missing, the rest can't work well without it.  Thiamine is used at the beginning of the energy production cycle and interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the process.   Mitochondrial health depends upon thiamine.  Without thiamine, mitochondria can't produce energy, ATP, needed for cells to function.  They sicken and die.  Mitochondrial dysfunction is said to be the basis of illness.    Interesting Reading: Practical supplements for prevention and management of migraine attacks: a narrative review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11557489/ The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10568373/

      I was tested for nutrient deficiencies and Thiamine was not my problem.    The doctor uses the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  I was deficient in Carnitine, Magnesium, multiple antioxidants, D, Selenium, B12, B6 and a long list, just not Thiamine.

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
