The 'letter To Dr. Fine' Thread Appears To Be Gone

The thread for 'Letter to Dr. Fine' has disappeared except for the initial post question. I hope it's just a glitch. Is it my computer or is the Forum site having a bit of a nervous breakdown today? I hope we get the thread back. I would hate to have to do the letter over again. Thanks for any help. :)

The board was experiencing problems this afternoon.

Thanks. I still marvel at how fast you are! I will be patient. I'm sorry I mistakenly posted this on 'doctors' instead of 'technical'. I'm assuming you mean that the board is still having issues. On my screen anyway, I still have nothing showing under the initial post question.

I was in kind of a hurry before, but I just moved this to the Technical Forum. Your screen may still need to load (?)--I'm guessing but I can scroll through the entire thread, so it's definately there :D If it were to have been removed, I'd know about it ;)

I'm so sorry to be a pest, but I am still not getting any of the posts for the 'Letter to Dr. Fine' thread. The initial post question is there, but none of the rest of the thread. It's empty just as if it were a new post. When I click on any other posts, I am getting all the activity just fine as usual. I have rebooted my computer and done everything I know to do on my end in case it's just me. It wouldn't matter so much, except right now is when I am supposed to be compiling all the names of those who wish to be included in the letter. As of 1 AM this morning, I was getting it all just fine. Thanks for the help.

Make sure you are not using outline view. Right under the new posts button, you will see one that says "options" Choose Standard view to see all the posts (I can see all of them, and I don't even have special mod powers. :) ).

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what the problem is. I have verified that I can see all 37 posts, and an ordinary (non-moderator) identity I checked also can. Is it possible that you are using an alternate view? Go to the Options button at the right of the green bar with the topic title in it, and make sure that the display mode selected is "standard."

If you still can't see it, send me a PM with your email and I will send it to you as a file.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Thanks so much cruelshoes and psawyer. Yes, I was on 'outline' mode for some reason. I didn't do anything to get there that I know of, but somehow that's where I was. Now I learned something else valuable today....the OPTIONS button! Anyway, you computer people continue to impress me. What would we illiterates ever do without you?! :D

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
