Well I just spent 8 hours in the ER for dizziness & weakness due to some High Blood Pressure Meds...

I just in passing told him about my recent choice to go Gluten Free and why...

I told him my Celiac blood work was negative...and he asked how the gluten-free diet was working for me...

and I said great! He said fabulous keep gluten free...AND he said you don't need a blood test to really know what works for you!

WOW what a great ER Doc!...he was more supportive than my usual Primary Dr.

Perhaps because he was younger...maybe the younger Dr's are more knowledgeable, we can only hope!

Be sure to send the Hospital Administrator an email about the great care from this ER doctor and mention that he knew about celiac disease.

You could also post his name under a topic listing your city so others in your area can ask for him should they go to ER.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
