Hi I'm new to being gluten-free...about 2 weeks now. But yesterday I ate a Taco Salad and the whole thing including the shell...it totally escaped my brain that it contain gluten. But today I haven't gotten stomach or gut aches yet :) but I did have a fever yesterday night and random "kidney" pains today that stop me in my tracks but only last for a couple seconds. I was just wondering if that's because I'm glutened or maybe just that I don't feel good. I was just wondering if anyone ever experience that when glutened...thank you!!

I don't know about a fever... I never had one when glutened. But as for the lack of reaction from eating gluten... you're pretty new to it all. When I first went gluten-free, I had many, many slips as I learned the diet and didn't have huge repercussions. I remember about a year after being gluten-free, I made two beautiful loaves of homemade bread for a party and was so upset that I couldn't eat them... I cut a thick slab, buttered it, and ate it!! I had NO symptoms!! I made this great plan... to cheat maybe once a month w/ foods I really missed... but never got to try my great plan! The longer I was gluten-free, the more sensitive I became! And now, 7 years later... I don't so much as BREATHE a crumb of gluten if I can help it!!

It takes time and practice to learn where gluten is hiding.

Are you certain the shell contained gluten? If so, you would have gotten glutened even if you ate around the shell. If your food touches gluten, it is contaminated! You may already know that, but I just wanted to make sure.

My older son sometimes gets low-grade fevers when he gets glutened.

Taco shells are usually made from corn. It might have been gluten-free.

I think it contained gluten because I'm pretty sure they're made from flour tortillas but I did wake up this morning with horrible cramps and a gut ache my glands in my throat are all swollen and i have some itchy spots on me...so i'm pretty sure I was glutened and now paying for it :(

Taco salad shells are usually made from wheat flour. They are different than "taco" shells. I know because I used to be addicted to them. So light and airy and crispy fried and pale. Nothing like corn.

      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. ...

      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...
