  1. Jean, Usually an Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate aka ESR is a sign of inflammation in your body....from something.... It might be gluten it might be a virus or something else etc... A high ESR can tell you have inflammation going on in the body…but not from what….you might want to follow up with a C Reactive Protein test aka CRP or ...
  2. Steve, Stress commonly depletes us of B-Vitamins! They are used to help us make energy in the body especially Thiamine with Magnesium as its Co-Factor. See this study entitled "Thiamine and fatigue in inflammatory bowel diseases: an open-label pilot study" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23379830/ See this study about Magnesium's...
  3. DJFL, Here is something else that can help your liver Choline and/or Lecithin....one is a precursor of the other... Here is the article on Choline... https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-choline#deficiency Here is the article on lecithin aka phoshatidlycholine https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/phosphatidylcholine ...
  4. Blue Sky, YOU are onto something here. I wrote a Posterboy blog post about this connection of Micronutrients being low in Celiac's... The Mayo Clinic studied this topic... Here is my Posterboy blog post about it.... https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2714-mayo-clinic-study-shows-micronutrient-deficiencies-are-still-common-in-contemporary...
  5. DJFL et Al, There were a couple other things I wanted to site (say) about liver health that I ran out of time to say the other day..... I know this thread is about elevated liver enzymes....but often Cholesterol is the the same "Boat"....you have "Genetically High" Cholesterol etc....but High Cholesterol has also tied to Low Vitamin Status... I...
  6. Scott and DJFL Et Al, Here is that thread I mentioned early on the issues with getting a Clinical diagnosis of a Thiamine Deficiency.... Note: DJFL was involved in this thread. So it for Scott and who ever might else read this thread.... It probably describes many of us who have ever tried to get a Celiac diagnosis.... It is the best...
  7. Scott, Thank you for that short and concise sentence that takes me two or three pages to explain! I couldn't of said it better myself! I always try and over explain things. There is "No Formula" for Celiac disease but that is a good place to start. So common in most Celiac's I heartly recommend to start there. The only thing that might...
  8. DJFL and Scott, We measure the wrong things sometimes.... We need to measure the Kinetic (activity) of the Thiamine to enter the Cell..... Dr. Londsdale will explain it better than I can....Here is his article on it.... http://www.hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ The Erythrocyte Transketolase test...
  9. Blue Sky, I think you will appreciate these links on Zinc. Entitled "Effects of Zinc Deficiency on Th1 and Th2 Cytokine Shifts" https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/182/Supplement_1/S62/2191506 And this one entitled "Zinc-Altered Immune Function and Cytokine Production" https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/130/5/1407S/4686394 I...
  10. Laura, I still participate on this forum to help people like you! I have been you.... Try reading this article and see if it doesn't describe you to a "T". https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/03/magazine/wernickes-encephalitis.html They say IT well.... IN most cases "Treatment Before Diagnosis" is how a Thiamine deficiency is confirmed...
  11. DJFL, Try taking you some Befotiamine the Fat Soluble B1.....with your meals.... Elevated Liver Enyzmes can be a sign of a Thiamine deficiency.... IF you don't drink.....doctor's never think that it could be a Vitamin Deficiency... See this research on how doctors check for Elevated Liver Enzymes as "Test" for a early sign of a Thiamine...
  12. RMJ, Are you saying that we won't know what carriers the vaccine uses like PEG or Polysorbate until after the Vaccines are approved? Also are you saying the Janssen vaccine candidate could also be using PEG as a carrier or we don't know yet or we won't know until it is approved??? Or could it also being Polysorbate like the Oxford Vaccine but just...
  13. RMJ, Thank you for your quick response and thorough answers. Also think your for that link....It was very helpful as well. Which leads me to a follow up question. IF the first two warp speed vaccines us PEG as a carrier, do the Adenovirus vaccine candidates also use PEG. quoting form the link "So in both of those vaccines, the mRNA...
  14. RMJ and Marc9803, I don't know how to follow a thread without making a comment. So I have a few questions as follow up. Fascinating and excellent conversation BTW. I have really enjoyed reading it....the back and forth. I have really learned a lot from this thread. 1) So the two approved US vaccines use PEG as carrier. Is that correct...
  15. Meredith, Try taking a Fat Soluble Thiamine either Benfotiamine or Allithiamine are good fat soluble B1's.... Thiamine works best when taken with Magnesium.....because Magnesium is a co-factor for Thiamine.....they BOTH together will really help your daily fatigue. Magnesium Citrate with meals or Magnesium Glycinate are the best forms of Magnesium...
  16. Phil, I do a lot of deep research on Vitamins and nutrition....so after a while you find solutions for people....though most people don't listen to it....because they have to find out these things for themselves. I had a friend who had your problem....but he would never take Magnesium to help himself......maybe you will. Thiamine, Magnesium...
  17. Genetics Nutrition and Stress the Threeway Model of How Gluten Triggers an Immune Reaction in Severely Malnourished IE Vitamin Deficient Individuals consuming a High Calorie Diet This blog post is WTL again....I tried breaking it into to two Posterboy Blog posts but decided to go ahead.... And post it instead as one due to other things IRL...
  18. RMJ et Al, Thanks for the Link! Here is a couple research articles you might enjoy reading. I have been trying to make sense of them. Maybe you can offer some insight.... I have planned on writing a blog post about them especially the new research on Tryptophan but I haven' had time to complete it yet. Maybe I will finish it soon! ...
  19. Scott, Nice article.....they should study Magnesium! It has been shown to rapidly treat Depression! Here is the research on it entitled "Rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment" I used to have SEVERE depression and it helped 80 to 90% of my depression issues! It works as a One two punch....first by itself.....
  20. Scott, I tried clicking on your link to read it in more detail....but It didn't work for me.... I have been busy with life issues.....so I am just now getting around to comment.... Could you verify the Link is good and let me know If it works for you or others. Thanks, Posterboy,
  21. Brett92, I think you are having a reaction to your Lexapro......SSRI are know to affect REM sleep and could be leading to your constant fatigue.... Here is a nice overview of Antidepressants affects on people's sleep. https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/effects-antidepressants-sleep Here also is how malnutrition can affect our mental...
  22. CyMars, It might be from being too low in Vitamin C. Here is a nice article that details various Vitamins than can lead to chronic Nose Bleeds. https://www.livestrong.com/article/430809-nose-bleeds-vitamin-deficiencies/ I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice. Posterboy,
  23. Doug, FWIW they now have better diagnostic tests than they did several years ago.... It might be awhile for it reaches clinical practice but they can now tell the difference between Celiac disease and NCGS using newly developed diagnostic tests. It was discovered just this year... There is probably no reason for "a biopsy" proven diagnosis...
  24. Stubbo, To follow up on what Not me! said.....Follow up on those Night Sweats! It could be undiagnosed Diabetes or worse yet another Auto-Immune disease going undiagnosed. Here is a nice overview of things that can cause "Night Sweats" and none of them are pleasant. https://www.self.com/story/night-sweat-causes I have had this problem...
  25. Misslee Et Al, You should check out the Hormones Matter website. It has the topic of Thiamine deficiency or Sub Clinical Beri Beri covered better than any site I have visited. While I do not know any studies link Vaccines to Celiac disease...there are at least a couple studies linking Viruses to an associated Celiac diagnosis. Probably most famously...
