DONOHUE: My husband was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. He is 59 years of age. Why would he get this disease after all these years? Lately it seems like all we have been hearing is “gluten-free.” What is going on? It seems like an outbreak. ...

      @Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand.  Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins.  Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption.   Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg).  Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex.  Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep.   I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck.   I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum!

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By Jessica H · Posted

      Hi trents, just an update to my post, I had my follow up with my gastroenterologist. Scheduled my endoscopy for July 17th and got my biopsy results back July 28th. I have my official diagnosis now and I do in fact have Celiac disease. I'm slowly starting to switch my diet over to completely gluten free. My goal is to be completely gluten free after Christmas this year. I know I should be stopping completely now, but I am have a really hard time with change so my doctor told me I could do this gradually if it was easier for me. Now I know though and can make myself better with simple steps, no medication and have peace of mind knowing what I have is not the end of the world. Thanks again for your support. I've learned a lot over the last couple of months.

      @knitty kitty thank you for this suggestion.  Yes definitely.  Actually, since you brought it up, I just looked to see what amount of B vitamins my multi-vitamin had in it. I just realized that not only am I taking the version of thiamine that you mentioned doesn't absorb well, but also that I inadvertently reduced the amount of thiamine that I'm taking daily over time.  I'm just now looking at the bottles for the last three multi-vitamins that I was taking (including the current one I'm taking now).  I started with thiamine mononitrate at 25mg but that turned out not to be a gluten-free multivitamin, so then I switched to a gluten-free multivitamin with 1.1mg thiamine mononitrate, and then when my GI doc advised me to switch to an independent iron pill, I got a new multi-vitamin gummy that lacked iron. Now I'm realizing that this gummy only has 0.14mg thiamine mononitrate.  So not only are these not the right kind of thiamine but they are waaaay low.  Probably going on a gummy is a bad idea anyway... I will look into a B complex and if you have any suggestions of a specific one that worked for you, I would gladly take the suggestion!  Thanks so much.  this is such an awesome forum!!!

      mystery gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower, I have Hashimoto's, too.  I've learned some things that have helped with mine. This study says it's common to find anti gluten antibodies in Hashimoto's.  So antibodies aren't necessarily due to gluten ingestion.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31149170/   Take a B Complex supplement and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and Vitamin C.  This study found a higher rate of thiamine and Vitamin C deficiencies in people with Hashimoto's.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37278003/   Try cutting back on the amount of iodine in your diet.  Iodine, even in small amounts, can stimulate the thyroid which in turn stimulates the immune system which increases antibody production.   Dairy and eggs are high in iodine.  Switch from iodized salt to Pink Himalayan salt.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9703374/   Supplement with Selenium, a mineral that helps the thyroid function and calms the immune response in the thyroid.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37033262/ Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!
