What The Hell Was That?

As I've mentioned, I'm giving up dairy, so I made my last pizza last night. Of course, it being the last one, I finally got it right. (Anybody needing tips for making pizza with Chebe bread, I'm the boy to ask.) But I spent the evening more keyed up than I've been since quitting gluten almost two years ago. All the well-known stuff: e.g., I didn't get a joke and spent the whole evening beating myself up about it. Standard social anxiety fare.

The thing is, it was exactly the same pizza I'd made last Thursday with no adverse reactions other than the usual mega-pooting. I did put on more mozzarella (had to use it up after all) and maybe more pepperoni. It's Hormel turkey pepperoni. I didn't see any MSG in the ingredient list. Could it have been the nitrites? I'm stumped. Obviously, it's not a high priority question, as my pizza days are behind me, but I'm still curious. Any thoughts?

Nightshades (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes)? Also for me, I experience the anxiety and panic attacks from Soy almost as badly as I do with gluten.

I certainly hope not. Anyway, I never had the problem before, including making an identical pizza five days earlier. The only difference is that I cooked it longer, so if there's anything nasty in there that only comes out if the ingredient is cooked (or in the case of the pepperoni, overcooked), that would be it. Otherwise, nothing weird at all. The last time this happened it was a caffeine dealio when I made breakfast bars with chocolate chips in them and got so amped I had to give the rest away. Maybe I'm allergic to baking.:)

Regardless, thanks for the reply.

      Hi, My 3 year old was diagnosed a couple months ago. We went gluten free, very strict, and everything improved. Energy, no more meltdowns, bad rash is mostly gone. She's doing great. Except she complains every day of stomach pain. She describes it as squeezing. Any ideas from anyone?  We cut out oats and it didn't make any difference. She doesn't drink milk, though she has cheese. It doesn't seem to coincide with the cheese. She says it hurts when she wakes and then other random times during the day.  We are SO strict with her food. We don't eat out, out whole house is gluten-free. I make everything from scratch. She eats very healthy. She's not picky and we do tons of fruit, veggies, meat, etc. we don't do a lot of processed food.

      Ok so I couldn't find the thiamine you suggested but I was able to buy a bottle of 'standard' thiamine (100 mg). Should I just try half a tablet to see if I notice any difference? If it turns out it does have effect I can always buy the more expensive stuff. Or is that not a smart idea?

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well.  I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.  Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  The more carbs one eats, the more Thiamine is required to process the additional calories.  500 mg more Thiamine is required for every additional one thousand calories.  This is named "High Calorie Malnutrition."  Sufficient calories are being consumed, but not enough of thiamine to burn the carbs for energy.  Instead to ration out the small supply of thiamine, the additional calories are stored as fat.  It takes less thiamine to burn fat than to burn carbs.    Do read Dr. Lonsdale' article here... Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine.  The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain.  Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins.  It should tell you what form of thiamine is in it.  If it says thiamine mononitrate, you're probably not getting sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form used in vitamin supplements and foods because it is shelf stable.  Shelf stable means it won't break down when exposed to heat and light sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought in a store or warehouse.  It also is very difficult for the body to break it down and utilize it.  Only about thirty percent of the amount of thiamine mononitrate on the label is absorbed.   Do take a look at Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' website hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Lonsdale has done much research on Thiamine.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @DebJ14 The Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies tests  intracellular levels of the nutrients INSIDE Leukocytes (white blood cells) which are in the bloodstream.  This still is not reflective of current stored vitamin levels inside organs.   The genetic MTHFR mutation does occur frequently with Celiac Disease.  Taking the methylated (activated) forms of the B vitamins is necessary.   A good multivitamin may not be sufficient to correct deficiencies.  Malabsorption due to the intestinal damage of Celiac Disease may prolong deficiency states.  Vitamin deficiencies need to be corrected quickly to prevent long-term problems.  Taking a B Complex twice a day increases absorption.  Taking a multivitamin as well is fine as multivitamins usually also contain some necessary minerals.
