@Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves...

Oh, my dear! Get off that Fairlife chocolate protein shake! That's got milk in it! Egads! Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme...

The Benfotiamine and thiamax need magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes. Yes, go ahead and take the Benfotiamine and Thiamax now and include the magnesium as soon as possible. Yes, take the magnesium at breakfast, too. I take my Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax and B Complex at the beginning of breakfast. I take the magnesium after I finish...

Welcome to the forum, @Charlie1946, How long have you been diagnosed with Celiac disease? Do you take any nutritional supplements? Vitamins? Herbal medicine? Do you eat processed gluten free facsimile foods? Is your diet high in carbohydrates? Many vitamin deficiencies can contribute to poor oral health. Vitamin C, Cobalamine B...

Burning Sensation in the small intestine

Yes, @trents is right, ascorbic acid can be irritating. Do you take it with food? Do you take other supplements or vitamins? Do you eat processed meats? Is your diet high in carbohydrates? -

Burning Sensation in the small intestine
knitty kitty replied to pilber309's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thanks, @trents, lactose intolerance is different than a reaction to casein. Consuming casein could be causing that continuing antibody reaction causing localized inflammation. Still worth trying a diet without it. Since you mentioned your father passing, you may want to add Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine Vitamin B 1 that has been... -

You should be fine. You may start feeling better within a few days. Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours. Did you get the NeuroMag or another magnesium supplement?

Burning Sensation in the small intestine

Hello, @pilber309, welcome to the forum! Are you currently consuming dairy? You mentioned something about lots of yogurt and cheese, but did you cut it out or are you eating lots of it? Could you clarify please? Some people with Celiac react to casein, the protein in dairy the same as to gluten with antibodies and villi damage. -
You may want to skip the oatmeal. I believe you're trialing a gluten free diet while waiting for an appointment with your doctor in the new year and doing a gluten challenge then. Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein in oats called avenin the same as to gluten. Cross contamination between oats and gluten containing grains is possible. ...

Son's legs shaking
knitty kitty replied to lizzie42's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte... -

knitty kitty replied to lizzie42's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ... -

@lizzie42, You're being a good mom, seeking answers for your son. Cheers! Subclinical thiamine deficiency commonly occurs with anemia. An outright Thiamine deficiency can be precipitated by the consumption of a high carbohydrate meal. Symptoms of Thiamine deficiency include feeling shakey or wobbly in the legs, muscle weakness or cramps... -
High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA
knitty kitty replied to SamAlvi's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
@SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease. Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease. Though having the genes for Celiac...
