a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.
Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency. The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.
I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about:

What do you think?
@OlafAndvarafors hi! I’m feeling a lot better. Twitching has gotten better…I never really found an explanation for the twitching other than anxiety and/or some sort of deficiency (b12/iron/magnesium/D). These are just guesses, though. My levels were always “low-normal” and I recently got 2 more iron infusions because my ferritin dropped despite the gluten-free diet.
as for the other symptoms, I definitely am inclined to blame the gluten “detox” period and honestly anxiety around the entire ordeal. It’s a huge thing to deal with mentally, and I didn’t have symptoms that I knew of prior to being diagnosed so it really threw me into a spiral.
I supplement daily, multivitamin, 6000 D, B12 sublingual, B complex, C, omega 3, magnesium.
Be patient and kind with yourself. A lot of these forums, while helpful, point you to every possible horrible diagnosis.
Hello. How are you feeling? Did you find out the cause? I have the same symptoms, but I'm still going through the diagnostic process for celiac disease.
I'm confused about these results. We are not seeing the GI doc. He's totally out of our price range. We can just do gluten free like we do for my daughter who was off the charts on all of these. Any thoughts? Maybe we caught it early? He's only 5.
His EMA was negative. That got cut out of the photo.
