I found this over on cafepress: Open Original Shared Link

While I'm probably not going to wear that, I might by this mug that says "Gluten is the enemy":

Haha! I wish I had the guts to wear that shirt! :lol:

That's hilarious! I want one! lol! I'd probably only be brave enough to wear it around the house though. I'd feel like wearing to restaurants without gluten free options though!

Lol.. I looked at all the gluten free stuff and there are some cute ones. One says "gluten is icky". lol.. But one I don't understand -- it says "Celiac is the medical term for starvation." Personally I don't feel like I'm starving on this diet. Unless, do they mean that when you're undiagnosed your body is not absorbing nutrients like it should? Hopefully it's that, but I'm not sure that non-celiacs would understand, since I'm always getting the comment "what can you eat?!" :rolleyes:

Great!! My daughter and I are thinking of getting matching ones - don't know if we'd have the guts to wear them out though!! Also love the aprons and they could be worn in company :lol:

I think the "Starvation" shirt is for the types of Celiacs that were diagnosed in their late teens who are faced with the pressures of suddenyl having to cook "fresh" meals. I was 20 when I was diagnosed and I would have loved that T-shirt :)

Oh man, I think I WOULD wear that! I've got some serious anger about the gluten in the world. Lol.

My gut is killing me today so I bought the F*** Gluten T-Shirt. Not sure if I will wear it in public unless it is under another shirt or I am riding my motorcycle.

The person riding a motorcycle in an eff gluten shirt would be awarded infinite coolpoints forever.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
