    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?

    Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to immediately stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?

    hmm, I only had a colonoscopy. Would be interesting to have an endoscopy done then I guess.

    I didn't notice a lot of difference, if any. But after only one pill I don't expect miracles. I'm also recovering from a pretty bad cold so that's a factor that will have some influence too I guess. I'll keep trying the Thiamine in the coming days and will let you know if I feel improvement. Thanks for asking btw!!

    I took my first 100 mg this morning. Let's see what happens. Still a bit nervous of messing up my other B vitamins since I don't have a B complex at the moment. Thanks for your replies Knitty Kitty!

    Thanks! I think I'll start slow. See what happens. Should I notice the thiamine working almost straight away if I'm really deficient? What kinda of difference did you notice? More mental? Of also physical in the sense of more energy? Sorry for all the questions!

    Thanks so much for your replies! no danger of overdosing on the stuff? or having the other B levels going out of whack? I do take a multivitamin with all te other B vitamins at the RDA level. I have bought the HCL version of Thiamine. How long do you need to use the Thiamine? a short periode on high levels and then back to a maintenance dosage?

    Ok so I couldn't find the thiamine you suggested but I was able to buy a bottle of 'standard' thiamine (100 mg). Should I just try half a tablet to see if I notice any difference? If it turns out it does have effect I can always buy the more expensive stuff. Or is that not a smart idea?

    So after a long time in which I got my zinc and folic acid levels back on track I will now start with taking Thiamine to see if that does anything. According to my blood levels I'm not low on Thiamine but, if I understand correctly, blood works are not the best way to find out if there is a Thiamine shortage. How much Thiamine should I take to start with...

    Thanks very much for the in depth reply!!! I'll discuss it with my doctor next week!

    Dear forum members, I’m still trying to find out whether or not I actually have gluten sensitivity or not. Recent blood test showed a slightly elevated Bilirubine and Lipase but an abdominal ultrasound showed no problems with the liver or pancreas. My zinc and folic acid where both too low. When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most o...

    Sorry to revive this old post. Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly...

    interesting! I have never been tested on zinc before so it could very well be that I've indeed been deficient for years.
  14. badastronaut
    And another blood level result just came in. This time zinc. Normal zinc levels are between 12 and 18 nnmol/l. My zinc level is 9,3 so it's pretty low. Is this common in glutensensitivity/IBS/celiac? and any tips on how to best supplement this deficiency?
  15. badastronaut
    Will give it a try! Thanks!

    Hmm never thought of it that way! I take 2000 IU of vitamin D daily. Been doing so for years. My vitamin d level was 'only' 96 nmol/l.

    I had another blood test done on Wednesday to check my minerals and vitamins. My vitamin D level was ok although lower that I thought it would considering I have been taking quite a high dose supplement. Vitamin b12 was also ok. Still waiting for zinc and the other vitamin b levels. What I did find curious is my folate level. Normal range here in the Netherlands...

    I indeed had the tTG-IGA test twice. I will stick with my gluten free diet for sure since it definately does benefit me. A shame that there is no test for NCGS.
  19. badastronaut
    Btw. There are no healthcare benefits in the Netherlands when diagnosed with celiac disease..

    Thanks for the replies. I never had a biopsy for celiac only the bloodtest. My IGA was 1,72 and 2 the second time.I was eating bread at the time but not much. Eating much bread always made me nauseous. Are there more markers in a blood test that are important for celiac testing? I have all the reports but don't know what to look for. I don't know if...

    Dear forum members, for as long as I can remember I have had stomach and digestive problems as wel as anxiety and (light) depression type symptoms. I have had my gallblader removed due to stones, but that didn't change my symptoms. I have been tested for celiac twice but both times the test result was negative. According to my doctor I have severe IBS...
