    I ate sprouted buckwheat and hard boiled egg last night instead of cereal and got extra 1/2 hour sleep but more importantly feel better this morning. I do sleep in cycles that seems to rotate btwn 3 and 6 hrs but I will monitor next time I make a pot. Bwheat is a complete protein with good amounts of thiamin, magnesium, fiber and iron. High carb but much...

    Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation...

    Great info, thanks. Luckily I am taking thiamin hcl 100mg at lunch and the 25 mg in morning b complex is made up of hcl and cocarboxlase. I have read many of your writings about thiamin and understand/believe that the body gets rid of the excess. One thing that a gluten-free diet has done for me is no microscopic blood in urine after a lifetime of it...

    hey knitty, I have taken b complex for yrs and recently upgraded to quatrofolic so holding out hope for benefits there. The complex has 25 mg thiamin and then take another 100 mg with lunch. My memory is not great anymore and realized after original post that I took a vit b test on your recommendation, btw, back in 2024. Everything was in range except that...

    Thanks will definitely check it out.

    Thanks very much. Did your child have to see a specialist for the infusions or done at hospital?

    I may have just the thing for you. I have what I call basketball knees from my youth. Reconstruction left knee and right not great. Cart. tears, bone spurs and the rest. I took glucosamine for decades that helped but it wasn't til I ruptured my knee about 10 yrs ago that a ortho dr told me about Chronic Joint Pain and Avocado Soy Unsaponifiables. I think...

    Just about 2nd anniversary gluten-free and latest blood test showed <1. The good news was verification no microscopic blood in urine which had been present for yrs. Also I have regained much of the weight but still down about 10 pounds 160 vs 170. I think villi recovery still has long way to go. Heavy fatigue in afternoon and usually need quick nap. The...

    Sorry I was not clear. I never took benfotiamine due to the alleged side effects. I never had irregular heart beat before bypass surgery or at least it was never detected.
  10. glucel
    hey knitty, thanks for the follow up. I did buy the benfotiamine before I saw a couple of the side effects that concerned me esp bracardia. I already have irregular heart beat and have had elevated liver enzymes before. I lowered the count by taking milk thistle in case anyone interested. I realize that many side effects are simply for legal protection but...

    I don't react the same way to all of them but do react badly to many of them where others may not. I also have a touch of hypochondria so when the labs come back too high or makes me anxious. I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was...

    That's interesting because I think that the lousy 81 mg irritates my gut. I'm sensitive to drugs in general and blood thinners are all the same to me so aspirin necessary evil. As they say, better to be a live chicken than a dead duck.
  13. glucel
    I was checking aip diet and discovered that aspirin is prohibited. I definitely can understand why that is but my cardio dr says to stay on it. So aip is done before I even get started.

    Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

    Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has...

    Finally found something with less methyl folate and 12. Many b complex are loaded with too much biotin which I did not want either. I will take an additional 100 mg tab of b1. I will take this lighter version for 3 weeks and maybe take the heavier one for 1 week. Not happy that autolyzed yeast added as other ing but will look into it further. Amount...

    I have ingested 100 mcg of folic acid for many years but wised up and switched to folate about 3 months ago. I am now taking optimized b100 complex which includes folate 1240 mcg dfe (as 6s methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt, quatrefolic. Also get another 70 mcg from beef liver as well as whatever else from diet. I am not quite certain how much...

    hi @knitty kitty I knew there had to be somebody else that liked liver. Hearing of your weight loss/recovery and seeing another half pound gain this morning helps relieve some of the anxieties associated with celiac disease. I never thought that I would get excited about weight gain. I am going to add a 100 g thiamine tablet at noon time and...

    OK maybe I will look at future blood test just for historical changes. I am taking b vitamins as I mentioned in my other post to you. Definitely interested in Benfotiaminefor intestinal issues. However I already seem to be feeling some improvement in diverticulosis. Constipation gone but I think that resuming glucosamine may have something to do with that...

    Thanks @knitty kitty, I read your v b info with much interest for last few months. Here is my weight per event: sept 8, 2022- 181 lbs june 1, 2024 gluten free july 4- 143.5 lbs july31- changed from regular b to methyl folate and b12. oct 8- 150 lbs So weight hopefully coming back albeit very slowly. So probably my villi...

    hi knitty, I figured while reading the first few paragraphs of your post that thiamin would come into the conversation, haha. Anyway, I just had annual physical and asked for the b vitamins and others to be incl in the blood test. B12, folate, and b6 came back about mid range but they did not take enough blood to complete the b1 and b2. Are the good results...

    Good thought about the countries not producing a lot of wheat.

    Thanks Scott, The ing are salmon and salt. I had been buying aldi brand 14.5 oz can for around $3.30 but very difficult to get info on. I may upgrade to Safe Catch ($3.09 for only 5 oz) which claims to be gluten-free but does not say that on the can label. The co rep said most all fish canned in thailand or viet nam. So it seems that probably aldi brand and...

    Thanks I am trying. Boulder is one chip co that states gluten-free on their bags of chips made with olive or avacado oil. Seems that they would no be quite as unhealthy to eat as those made with vegetable oil.

    Liver is one of the healthiest foods to eat notwithstanding cholesterol and fat. Liver also has higher amounts of vitamin A and copper so to avoid getting caught up in that I eat 1/2 ounce per day.
