The Intolerance Song

Well, I said goodbye to dairy today after a positive breath test so I wanted to mourn it as I will miss it. I'm sure you could substitute anything you're intolerant to so have fun. Sing your intolerances!

Sing to the Tune of Scandal's "Goodbye to You" Open Original Shared Link.. (in case you need musical accompaniment- I wanted to BE Patty Smyth in the 80's!)

Those times I ate something with you will soon seem so long ago

I wanted to eat ice cream far too much to ever let you go

You know I never got by, My gut felt it too

And I guess I never could stand to lose

It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you!

How could I have loved ice cream when it always made me poo?

I remember the good dishes baby now, and the nauseous times too

These last few weeks of holdin' on

The days are cheesy, but the nights too long

Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you

'Cause dairy it's over now

No need to talk about it

It's not the same

My love for you's just not the same

And my gut, and my gut

And my gut can't stand the strain

And my butt, and my butt

And my butt won't stand the pain

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to you

Goodbye dairy

So long, darlin'

Goodbye to you!

Now that made me laugh, how funny! Sorry you have to give up dairy, too. But hopefully you'll feel better for it and it will be worth it.

Excellent lyrics!!! :lol::lol:

I've written you a sympathy poem:

Oh cheese I miss you so

I had to let you go

Milkshakes are out

But, I'll feel better no doubt

Ice cream and butter

Are all in the gutter

Don't need no cow

So I take a vow (to be)

DAIRY FREE

The new me.....

Dear Mtndog and Nikki-uk,

ROFLMAO! :lol: I loved these! It is difficult. Handling this with humor is always helpful. Laughing about it certainly helps. The Chocolate Emporium is terrific for cake mixes! I am hoping to order some chocolate candies soon!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      If you're more comfortable starting slow, that's fine, but do increase your dose to 500 mg per day as quickly as possible.  The World Health Organization recommends 500 mg thiamine HCl per day when deficiency is suspected.  Dr. Lonsdale had researched high dose thiamine for decades, and he has used higher doses, 1 to 3 grams in some cases.   Like I explained above, it's at that 500 mg level or higher that passive diffusion happens and thiamine can get into cells.  Inside the cells, thiamine turns the mitochondria back on.  Mitochondria produce energy the cells use to function.  I had been taking a multivitamin containing thiamine HCl regularly and still had become deficient.  Malabsorption of celiac disease really affects vitamin absorption.  I bought a bottle of thiamine HCl.  I was skeptical, too. I thought it couldn't be that easy.  I took 500 mg all at once.  I had improvement within minutes.  I couldn't believe the sensation of energy spreading to all parts of my body.  My brain felt like it was lifted out of a sub-sub-basement by an elevator and lights were coming on, floor by floor, of a skyscraper.  It was mental improvement, mental clarity.  Thiamine is needed for nerves to transmit electrical impulses, so the more nerves transmitting electrical impulses, the more my brain started working better.  The better my brain started working, the better I felt physically.  My muscles had more energy.  I wanted to get up and do stuff.   P.S. Questions are welcome.  "there's no poverty like ignorance, no wealth like knowledge". Keep learning!

      Thanks! I think I'll start slow. See what happens. Should I notice the thiamine working almost straight away if I'm really deficient? What kinda of difference did you notice? More mental? Of also physical in the sense of more energy?    Sorry for all the questions!

      Absolutely no danger of overdosing on the stuff.  Thiamine is nontoxic, and safe.  I had gotten to 1000 mg of Thiamine HCl a day at one point.   Do continue taking the multivitamin with the other B vitamins.  You may want to add a magnesium supplement because magnesium and thiamine make enzymes together.  I like Magnesium l-Threonate (Neuro-Mag by life extension).  You may want to add a B Complex in addition to the multivitamin (take them at different times).  All the B vitamins are water soluble.   With Thiamine HCl, there's a "magic moment" about 500 mg, where sufficient thiamine can get into the cells by passive diffusion, and the difference is amazing.  In thiamine insufficiency, the thiamine transporters (special gates into the cell) shut down.  Thiamine cannot get into the cells until there's a higher concentration outside of the cell.  Once that happens, the  thiamine can get through and go to work inside the cells.   If you're brave, start with 300 mg at one meal and 200 mg at the next meal.  Increase as you feel comfortable.  You may want to stay at one amount for a few days before increasing again.  Just keep adding another 100 mg as long as you keep feeling improvement.  If you feel uncomfortable, skip the next dose.  Thiamine HCL is water soluble and excess is easily excreted.  Don't take thiamine close to bedtime because you may feel too energized to sleep.   Thiamine HCl may feel like riding in the back of a pick up truck on a gravel road.  Benfotiamine feels like you're in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce.  TTFD feels like you're driving a Lamborghini.  You'll get there no matter what kind of thiamine is taking you there.  Just keep taking it.  The health improvements can be very subtle, but you'll notice in the long run.   I started with 500 mg of Thiamine HCl, to see what would happen and had amazing improvement within an hour.  I took 300 mg with each of two meals and 100 mg with snacks.  I eventually added in Benfotiamine (250 mg  a couple of times a day) and reduced the thiamine HCl.  Later I added in TTFD (50 mg) several times a day.  Just experiment and see what feels right for you. Everyone is different and has a different level of deficiency.   I kept having additional improvement with each type of thiamine.  I've taken thiamine for almost fifteen years now.  I still take all three kinds on maintenance doses.  You have to experiment and see which ones work best for you in which combination.   I'm right here if you need anything.   You'll be fine.
