    Hey, RiceGuy, (Love the Twinkies quote at the bottom. Thanks.) After doing some research, I found that Celiacs usually have a thiamin deficiency, and that that can actually kill you quite easily, if it goes on long enough. It can cause congestive heart failure, among many other things. I had Celiac for so long that, when I took thiamin for two days...

    Dear danat, Thank you very much, for posting this information. I am going to try it right away. I have a couple of persistent patches of DH, and nothing I've used seems to help. Perhaps this will. Thanks again, Grrranny

    Dear elspeth, I'm not going to bash you. I agree entirely. Simply having a physical disorder does not entitle anyone to behave in a rude manner. Rudeness is just what it is. Bad behavior. I would find a web site that defines rudeness, in graphic terms, and forward it to her. See what her reaction is. Perhaps, the next time you guys go out to eat...

    Hiya Newbie, Welcome to the club! I bought a bottle of Smirnoff Triple Distilled vodka before Thanksgiving. I had a few drinks, and left it alone for a while. Around Christmas there were a few days when I had a couple of drinks each evening. That set off a flare-up like crazy. I found out that most vodka is made with grains, hah, guess what? ...

    Yes. I turned 63 on Dec. 23. Had symptoms since early childhood, but it only got really bad after I was 40. From 50 to 60, I spent most of my time trying to not die. Was finally diagnosed two years ago, and I have been improving every day since then. After a while I noticed that I keep feeling better all the time. Must have been a lot sicker than I...

    Dear Joan, Hi. Welcome to the club! Celiac depletes the vitamin thiamin from your body. Thiamin is very important, and not having any can cause dire consequences. These can include heart failure, migraines, lung problems, nerve problems, and many other serious issues. Try taking 50mg thiamin tablets for a few weeks, and your migraines may clear up...

    Dear Codetalker, I am assuming you are a programmer, ^ your handle. It was nice, reading your entry. I've been feeling a little opinionated on these boards because I've been a medical worker for many years, and I think that the medical profession is being entirely derelict in its duty towards Celiac victims. We have become victims of our medical professionals...

    Colleen, Love yer quote by Elanor! Where do I find stuff by this person, Fine?? Sounds like an interesting dude. The quickest way to draw negative attention to one's scientific or medical work, no matter how valid or helpful, is to publish before you are entirely ready. Sometimes the most effective way to get the word out there is to just tell people...

    Dear Mr. Moore, You state that your B complex has "more than enough" of Thiamin for your needs. I must differ. Your body has probably been running at a serious deficit of Thiamin for at least several years. Long enough to be giving you quite severe symptoms. Your intestinal villi have been damaged by Celiac disease, so you do not absorb nutrients like...

    Hello Mr. Moore, I am a retired medical worker, I have Celiac myself, and I do a lot of online research. I recently made an interesting discovery. I was doing very much what you are, but using my skills online to research everything, as well. I found that Celiac disease causes symptoms of Beri-beri, which is caused by a deficiency of the vitamin...
