LOL...I haven't run into any sarcastic comments....this is how I explain it to friends and family members (this allways shuts them up)!

"Yeah I found out I have Celiacs...yeah I was having horible migraines and muscle cramps,and I allways looked 7 months pregnant, and was allways sick....yeah I had to go to the hospital because I had a seizure! Celiacs...can you beleive it!!! It's an auto imune deisese..caused by Gluten..Yeah,wheat...but it's NOT an allergy...thats diferent...this is much more sinister...it does damage even when its not obvious! We thought I had Multible sclorosis for YEARS...found out all this time it was celiacs...makes sense though...it mimics MS..there both auto imune deseises!YEAH IT MAKES THE BODY ATTACK ITSELF...JUST LIKE ms ATTACKS THE NERVES..THE GLUTION SPREADS AROUND AND YOUR BODY MISTAKES IT FOR THE BAD GUYS AND ENDS UP ATACKING ITSELF...THATS WHY MY ARMS AND LEGS HURT SO MUCH...I GET SEVERE MUSCLE CRAMPS AND CAN'T MOVE BECAUSE IT HURTS SO BAD! alot of people have it but just don't know it...Yeah because it damages the stomache and intestinal tract lining...you can't absorbe nutrishion ...if the Celiacs does'nt mess you up the malnoutrishion will!!!Look at all the weight I've lost...my body thought it was starving..so it packed on the pounds...now that I've cut gluten and dairy out of my diet...no more inflamation and I'm starting to get noutrishion again!!!I've dropped 2 dress sizes! I feel SOOOOO much better!!!"

After that speach...And I recomend you be aggressive..don't let them interupt you...your audience will look around like the boogie man is going to pop out and infect them if they're not careful!! LOL people are so much more understanding when you Mention MS symptoms being the same as Celiacs...make it scary and they don't want to laugh...they start thinking about their OWN aches and pains...makes their brains work!!! LOL

TRUE STORY...and yes for the last 20 years we wern't sure if I had MS or not...took all the Nurological tests and the doctor said 50/50 couldn't say yea or nay...man was I pissed!!! Those tests were torturous...extreamly painful (should be illeagal)...20 years later...over 45 years of undiagnosed Celiacs (not to mention the nurrological damage caused by it)...I am FINALLY diagnosed...(July 2011)....CASIEN INTOLERENT AND NIGHTSHADE INTOLERENT AS WELL!!!

BUT THEY DON'T GIVE ME s$#&!!! IF THEY START TO I TELL'EM ABOUT THE boogie man AND THEY STOP IN THEIR TRACKS!!!! LOL :blink::unsure::D

      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?
