    Tracy66, I found one more article for you. "Neurological, Psychiatric, and Biochemical Aspects of Thiamine Deficiency in Children and Adults" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6459027/ Check into the Autoimmune Paleo diet so you'll be prepared when given permission to go gluten free after all testing is done. This is...

    Thorn, Look into the Autoimmune Paleo diet..... https://www.thepaleomom.com/start-here/the-autoimmune-protocol/ And the Low Histamine Diet.... https://www.histamineintolerance.org.uk/about/the-food-diary/the-food-list/ I'm not surprised by your doctor's reaction. Doctors are trained to prescribe pharmaceuticals. Your sick...

    My vote is for tryptophan. Tryptophan has been shown to help Gerd without increasing melatonin. Tryptophan can be transformed into melatonin or into niacin as the body needs. Tryptophan is water soluble. Any excess your body doesn't need will be excreted. Melatonin independent protective role of l-tryptophan in experimental reflux esophagitis...

    Tracy66, I'm concerned about the decline in your daughter's brain function! Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can have the same results, the decline in brain function your daughter exhibits. I am not a doctor. I have experienced severe vitamin and mineral deficiencies....

    Remember to discuss all the vitamins and minerals with your doctor. People rarely have a single vitamin or mineral deficiency. If you're low in one vitamin or mineral, you're probably low in more. Keep us posted on your progress!

    It's a bad idea to take H2 blockers as you recommend because this can result in a Vitamin B12 deficiency. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1358279/ Effect of histamine H2-receptor antagonists on vitamin B12 absorption "H2RAs have the potential to cause vitamin B12 deficiency. This may be important in patients with inadequate stores of vitamin...

    I believe you're referring to Cycling Lady. She was found to have autoimmune gastritis which was elevating her antibodies.

    Trents and RaspberryFirecracker, In reference to this statement you found... https://www.histamine-sensitivity.com/histamine_rose-08-13.html "They tend to be very low in calcium, magnesium, methionine, and B6 with excessive levels of folic acid.

    I would like scientific study or the source of your information. Where did you get this information? Please show your source for this information because it is opposite of the information I have come across. Thanks

    raspberryfirecracker, Please provide further information/sources for this statement "no "extra" vitamins yet unless directed by your doctor (wait a few weeks, most b vitamins especially could make you much worse right now). " Thank you.

    BuddhaBar, I dislike neuropathy, too! "Peripheral Neuropathy Due to Vitamin Deficiency, Toxins, and Medications" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4208100/ I take B12, Vitamin C, B6, and thiamine (B1) and thiamine's partner, magnesium, for the neuropathy. Sometimes I take copper. That's all for the neuropathy. To help...

    Yogajc, The most accurate test is the erythrocyte transketolase test used to determine how much thiamine has been used by your body. https://www.hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ Blood tests for vitamins aren't always accurate because vitamins are used inside cells. The body likes to keep a certain quantity...

    Yogajc, I found some articles that I hope will be helpful. "Thiamine deficiency in patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: a pilot study" https://pmj.bmj.com/content/77/911/582 "B-cell lymphoma, thiamine deficiency, and lactic acidosis" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5242120/ "Visual...

    Wait! Hold off on the psyllium husks! Psyllium husks work by drawing water into the digestive tract. That will result in worsening dehydration. I think this book may be very helpful to you.... it explains very well how autoimmune diseases like Celiac Disease affects your body and how proper nutrition can help your body heal. The Paleo Approach...

    thorn, Losing weight without intending to, loss of appetite and nausea are early symptoms of thiamine deficiency. You should discuss the possibility of gastrointestinal beriberi with your doctor as soon as possible. Damaged villi caused by Celiac Disease cannot absorb all the vitamins we need. Some of us can suffer vitamin deficiencies. Thiamine...

    Oi! Stop eating fried foods! Fats are hard to digest when you have damaged villi. Think soups and stews with veggies cooked until soft. You might consider adding chicken broth or beef bone broth to your diet to help with healing. If you're not combining grains and legumes to make complete proteins, consider adding meat back into your diet....

    That's so gross to think about but so true.

I'm sure my water isn't...

    Is it possible to get a genetic test for common Celiac genes? Have you been checked for vitamin deficiencies? You can be deficient in vitamins like niacin, thiamine, B12, and B6 which can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Vitamin deficiencies can occur outside of Celiac Disease. Hope this helps
  24. knitty kitty
    The erythrocyte transketolase blood test determines best if there's a deficiency. This link might help.... And another.... I'm not a doctor. This is what has helped me. Hope this helps.

    No, I haven't had a nosebleed from gluten aromas. But I have had nosebleeds from high blood pressure. Anxiety can raise blood pressure. Perhaps you got anxious about the gluten aromas and your blood pressure shot up and a nosebleed ensued? You might want to check your blood pressure at home and consult your doctor.
