    Vitamins I Take

    By knitty kitty,


    Nutrition and Gluten free diet
    I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.  
    Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable...

    Thiamine Deficiency Disorders

    By knitty kitty,


    My Vitamin Deficiencies
    I developed vitamin and mineral deficiencies before my diagnosis.  
    Thiamine deficiency made me have a voracious appetite at some times and at other times, I had no appetite at all.  Thiamine affects the satiety center in the brain that tells you to eat more or you've had enough.  
    Thiamine deficiency also causes nausea.  I would wake up ravenous, but have nausea so bad I didn't want to eat.  Nausea sometimes occurred after eating.  My food just sat there and ...

    Gluten Challenge Revised

    By knitty kitty,


    Gluten Challenge
    According to recent research, updates to the gluten challenge are being implemented.

    Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer.

    While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.  

    Keep in mind that there are dif...

    By knitty kitty,


    My Vitamin Deficiencies
    I went through very similar symptoms, being misdiagnosed and told it was all in my head for most of my life.  It's not all in our head.  It's what's NOT in doctors' heads.  Doctors don't think of vitamin deficiencies as causes of symptoms like we have.  Doctors are trained to prescribe pharmaceuticals in medical institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.

    Thiamine and Decreased IgA production

    By knitty kitty,


    Thiamine and IgA production
    https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2019.00048/full
    Previously, we examined B cell immunometabolism in the intestine. In the intestine, naïve immunoglobulin (Ig) M+ B cells differentiate into IgA+ B cells in Peyer's patches (PPs) by class switching, and then IgA+ B cells differentiate into IgA-producing plasma cells in the intestinal lamina propria (20). Naïve B cells in PPs preferentially use a vitamin B1-dependent TCA cycle for the generation of ATP....

    My Vitamin Deficiencies
    Supplementing with the eight essential B vitamins can help stop gluten cravings.
    Wheat products are required by law to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  In other words, wheat products have vitamins added to them. 
    Celiac Disease damages the small intestine where the B vitamins are normally absorbed.  We often do not get enough B Complex vitamins while we are healing because of the damage done by Celiac and because the gluten free di...

    Points of interest include:
    Patient should not be taking supplements at time of testing.  Ideally, supplements should be discontinued three to six weeks before testing for vitamin deficiencies.  There are exceptions.  Most B vitamins can not be stored in the body longer than three weeks.  Supplementing with vitamins will ...
