Yesterday I saw this bumper sticker: "Only speeding cause I have to poop!" It showed a poop picture too...I really had to laugh...since I've actually had to speed really fast one time before being diagnosed...because I had to poop!! It's healthy to laugh. :)

Before (and now after a couple times when I get cc'ed) I have had to rush to get home. The problem is that before I got diagnosed I traveled strictly by subway. And you can't make those go any faster. They really should be required to have bathrooms at all subway stations. When things were really bad before diagnosis and I had days where I got D I would take cabs home from work for fear of the subway breaking down and not being able to get off and find a bathroom.

Haha, I need to get one for my husband! He has no diagnosed issues, just has a sensitive stomach to greasy foods. I am pretty sure he has played the speeding game several times!

Hilarious!! Before I was dx'ed, I actually developed agoraphobia because of an intense fear that I would have to poo and I wouldn't find a bathroom in time. We didn't eat out for 2 years (it usually hit me after a meal)!

Anyway, I found the bumper sticker online....

But if you're out walking the dog you can't speed :huh: I actually went tp someone's door, asked if I could tie my dog to her fence post and use the bathroom because I was not going to make it home. I think she was afraid it was a home invasion or something but the desperate look on my face must hve convinced her. :lol:

Before DX, I had a few such emergencies. Many times, I found myself with my key in the lock, praying I would get inside fast enough. :unsure:

When I was still teaching, I had to leave the room a few times, using the guise of "Break into groups and discuss (fill in the blank)..."

And the absolute worse case scenario arose twice:

We only have one bathroom. Occupied.

Hmm...omygosh, whatamIgonna do????....think think.... :unsure:

A lined wastebasket. :ph34r:

and the ever-popular--

Outside (fortunately we live in the remote countryside....) :rolleyes:

Cannot tell you how happy I am to no longer suffer such indignities. :)

That is so great! Many times I have wondered if I could get out of a speeding ticket if I got pulled over during those times. Then again the true fear of getting pulled over was the delay, not so much the ticket.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      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...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
