  1. Celiac, gluten sensitivity, SIBO, IBS, low gallbladder EF (28%) all terms/conditions/considerations that have crossed my path the last few months as possible explanations for my myriad GI symptoms. Before being diagnosed with SIBO May 2020 I had atrial flutter and had to have an ablation. Its overwhelming and very hard to sort out the symptoms, pain, fatigue...
  2. I’m taking 40mg of thiamine per day. Enough? To little??
  3. Knitty Kitty. What’s the connection between thiamine and gallbladder dysfunction. I supposedly have gallbladder dyskinesia. My GB does not contract adequately when CCK is given. CCK is what makes your GB contract naturally. GB ejection fractions below 35% are considered abnormal. Mine was 28%. The advice is to have it out. Is there some thiamine can improve m...
  4. Scott: thank you. I mistakenly ate something I should have know better. Live and learn. Im having a hard time figuring out what all is going on with my gut. I had SIBO this past summer. Treated that successfully, went on a low FODMAP, gluten and lactose free diet. My symptoms are much better but now my GI doc thinks maybe I need to have my gallbladder out...
  5. I’m gluten sensitive. My GI doc says I don’t have celiac per se. I accidentally ate something the other day that it turns out had gluten in it and started having gut pain. Things aren’t back to baseline yet. How long can I expect it to take to simmer down again? A few days or longer?? I’m a neophyte here and this a new reality for me. Thanks.
  6. The Xifaxan was my 2nd round of antibiotic. I was breath tested after the Xifaxan and had normal H2 levels. SIBO gone. Bloating and cramping and mega gas gone as well. I don’t think the SIBO is back. Recently had biopsy for H pylori which was negative. Nausea and burning gnawing sensation is what keeps coming back. A dose of famotidine relieves it for a...
  7. Any opinion on Bobs Red Mills gluten free oatmeal? That’s what I’ve been eating. Think I’m doing ok on it 🙄
  8. Where can you buy purity protocol gluten free oatmeal? My Google searches only got me to information on the details of purity protocol. I can’t find the products for sale.
  9. I get my first shot today. I had the same anxiety as you about the vaccine affecting my gut issue. Everything I can find indicates that the vaccine should not impact most underlying conditions. I have a friend who has pulmonary fibrosis. she got the shot and is doing fine. My sister-in-law has allergies and she is doing fine. I'm going to get the shots as...
  10. Thanks. I ordered some Befotiamine and a really good Multivitamin as well. I’m taking a number of other supplements as well.
  11. Ive been pretty much gluten free for 6 months with the one exception of learning that the oatmeal I had been eating might have been contaminated, so 3 weeks ago I switched to certified gluten free. So far the symptoms have not improved 3 weeks later. Id think Id see some improvement??? Also I am having to assume I am celiac as the only diagnostic parameter...
  12. Posterboy; I don't think I have a thiamine deficiency as I am taking extra B12, D3, Multi-vit, Mg Citrate, digestive enzymes, tumeric/ginger, Lactobacillus, DGL and Apple cider vinegar and aloe vera when I can remember to drink it. I did fine for a while after getting completely off the PPI but gradually the nausea kept getting worse and worse. It gets so...
