marijuana will only stunt ur emotional/intellectual development and not cure you of any other symptoms--just temporarily cover them up while damaging your brain cells.

My bro started smoking pot at age 13 & now he's a 50 yo man with the mind/emotional maturity of a 13 yo. no wife, no money, no kids, just lives minute to minute stoned.

are you eating gluten-free? if so for how long? The pain may eventually subside. It often does.If you can't sleep get a sleep study done . They will determine why you can't sleep (if its physical like apnea) How is ur mattress?--perhaps its not right for you & you may need a new one. For anxiety take yoga, & learn how to relax, exercise helps too--swimming, aerobics, weightlifting, dancing, whatever you like. Perhaps some short term counseling for your anxiety will help you learn to solve problems rather than getting anxious & fearful about them.

You see there are many ways to deal with what you are going thru in a constructive positive way rather than being stoned on pot.--legally or not.

Please get the proper help that you need--I assure you medical marijuana is not the answer.

That is something you should talk to your doctor about. It could be helpful for some issues but it does have drawbacks when abused. Celiac is one of the diseases that it is approved for in some states. Your doctor will be able to tell you if it could be useful or suitable for you.

      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.
