Curious if I should quit my job
@ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded... -

Still unsure.....
@badastronaut, I'm so glad you got your folate and zinc up! I'm a big fan of Benfotiamine. It's a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing. I take 250 mg Benfotiamine with the first two meals of the day along with a B 50 Complex. The B vitamins all work together so taking a B Complex with Benfotiamine is great. I also take a form of... -

Help needed
@nanny marley, I had great improvement by supplementing with a B Complex and extra thiamine in the form Benfotiamine which promotes intestinal healing. I followed the AutoImmune Protocol Diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. The AIP diet removes everything from the diet that can be irritating or hard to digest...- 1

Hi @Redlima My anxiety hit before diagnosis, and in fact it was anxiety which led me to see a doctor who put me on the road of various blood tests which revealed iron deficiency, raised globulin levels and borderline B12. At first my GP suspected a type of cancer, and didn't really know what else to make of it until about six months down the road when...- 1

@ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing. I agree with @Scott Adams. Play your cards close to your chest. Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now. Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott said. Prayers and Best Wishes sent. Keep us posted on your progress! -

@badastronaut, I'm so glad you got your folate and zinc up! I'm a big fan of Benfotiamine. It's a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing. I take 250 mg Benfotiamine with the first two meals of the day along with a B 50 Complex. The B vitamins all work together so taking a B Complex with Benfotiamine is great. I also take a form of thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with brain function, anxiety and depression. Start off with small doses (50 mg) and increase doses as long as you see improvement. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/#:~:text=Benfotiamine (Fig.,]%2C [62]]. -

I followed the AutoImmune Protocol Diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. The AIP diet removes everything from the diet that can be irritating or hard to digest. After a period of time to heal, other foods are slowly added back into the diet if tolerated.

Hi @Redlima My anxiety hit before diagnosis, and in fact it was anxiety which led me to see a doctor who put me on the road of various blood tests which revealed iron deficiency, raised globulin levels and borderline B12. At first my GP suspected a type of cancer, and didn't really know what else to make of it until about six months down the road when I started to get diarrhea and was losing weight. That then led another GP to do more tests and coeliac disease was the culprit. Clinical anxiety can be very scary indeed and I suffered with a horrible, irrational phobia at that time, too. I could hardly think straight. My GP put me onto citalopram but also, thankfully, I found a couple of books that helped me to get through this time and I always mention them on this forum, at the risk of repetition, because they were a huge help to me. Paul David's 'At Last a Life' book (and his forum), as well as Dr Steve Llardi's 'The Depression Cure' book which looks at things which we neglect in modern life, such as physical exercise, omega-3 fatty acids, natural sunlight exposure, restorative sleep, social connectedness and meaningful, engaging activity. These things can really make a difference. At the same time, my vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed. Have you had your levels checked, particularly B12 and iron? These are particularly important as deficiencies can really affect people's mental health. If they are low or low normal, get your doctor to prescribe some supplements, but at the same s/he needs to keep an eye on iron going forward, as too much in the blood is dangerous. I found B12 incredibly helpful in feeling better in the early stages of my recovery - sometimes, it was almost like night and day just a few hours after taking it. (Someone on this forum recommended Solgar sublingual tablets, they are great.) My anxiety started to get a lot better after a few weeks but there were setbacks which made me at times think I'd not recovered, or perhaps ever would. But like a jagged line on a chart, which has ups and downs but over all has an upward trajectory, I did get better in the end. I hope that you will find the same, and that perhaps some of this story has helped.
