    Cyclinglady, Thank you so much for sharing the "blockbuster level information" as Trents called this study! It's really cutting-edge! I'm so glad to see in-depth studies like this being done. I admire you all the more for being open-minded to new information. I must admit my first reaction was something my meemaw used to say "Well, knock me...

    Thanks, Posterboy, for starting a new thread about thiamine. I have found a video of Dr. Chandler Marrs, the coauthor with Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, of the book "Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition." Dr. Marrs in person explains the importance of thiamine and how thiamine deficiency is involved in disease. ...

    Plumbago, I apologize for offending you. I will be pleased to continue a discussion on thiamine on the thread Posterboy has so kindly started. Knitty Kitty

    Persian Celiac and Cycling Lady, I found this article about a very small sample of people that seems relevant. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10840307/ Perhaps further investigation is warranted. Although more time for healing may be what is needed, like Cycling Lady suggested.

    Basmati rice is supposed to be the variety least likely to cause a reaction. I like wild rice grown in Minnesota (by Native Americans, harvested by hand, so no cross contamination) but it's pricey. Science Fun Fact: Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is a chelator of arsenic. Thiamine binds to the arsenic permanently and they leave they leave through the...

    I'm not familiar with PUD. What does that stand for? I found a small drink of water every couple of bites while eating a meal helpful. Leaning to the left after eating is helpful in getting food to go down. It's the anatomy of the body. The stomach and small intestine drain off to the left. A cup of non caffeinated tea (or plain hot...

    Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you're having a rough time! Celiac Disease damages the villi in your small intestine. The tips of the villi produce an enzyme (lactase) that digests dairy. Ensure has dairy in it. You might want to exclude dairy from your diet for a while. You may find gluten free/dairy free soups and stews easier...

    ktb, I wonder if getting an erythrocyte transketolase test now would be possible. It's a special test for thiamine deficiency which is one of the vitamins most rapidly lost. I'm also concerned about the increased dosage of the proton pump inhibitors... And another article... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28220520/ My heart...

    lanlanonearth, I'm sorry this thread is diverging. We're just concerned and wish the best for your son. Some of us have gone undiagnosed for so many years developing other health problems along the way, so be forgiving if we're over enthusiastic in our desires to nip it in the bud to prevent further complications. If only our mothers had been as perceptive...

    I have reconsidered after reading this post on the Cockroach Flour article. I have a shellfish allergy. I wouldn't want to risk triggering an allergic reaction like I have with shellfish for "bread".

    Plumbago, Earlier I did a Google search for Dr. Derrick Lonsdale. This video came up. I watched the video. "Elliott" discusses Dr. Lonsdale's book. The information Elliott gives is accurate according to Dr. Lonsdale's book and Dr. Lonsdale's website. I repeated the search just now, and you are right. That video does not come up on the same...

    The person you quoted hasn't been on the forum since 2013. Read Posterboy's posts. He's given great information about thiamine deficiency causing lower leg edema and reducing inflammation.

    Microbial transglutaminase (aka. Meat Glue) is an additive used to enhance flavor and texture in lots of products. It acts the same as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces during a reaction to gluten or dairy. It's classified as a processing agent and therefore doesn't have to be on the ingredient list. I can't eat dairy (lactose intolerant...

    P.S. The World Health Organization has a field test for thiamine deficiency. They ask people to squat and then rise back to a standing position. Going down into a squat shouldn't be a problem. If you can't get back up, you're probably thiamine deficient. This happened to me in the grocery store. I squatted down to reach something on the bottom...

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Magnesium works best with thiamine! Vitamin D needs other vitamins,too! I hope Plumbago watches it, too, because it explains her SVT. 😸

    I would add dehydration. The body needs water to digest all those carbohydrates, hence the constipation. When dehydrated, the body will retain any water it has, hence the warm extremities and lack of sweating. As the body acquires more water, frequent urination may occur. As Scott said, diabetes may be occurring. With such a high intake of...

    Also, you may want to get your mineral levels checked. Magnesium and iron deficiencies might be contributing to your symptoms, too. Magnesium works with thiamine and the other B vitamins.

    Replenishing the vitamins is what will heal deficiencies. There are eight B vitamins. They all work together. It is unlikely to have a deficiency in just one of the B vitamins. The B vitamins and Vitamin C are all water soluble and can be lost quickly. (B12 is the only one that can be stored for any length of time in the liver.) Thiamine is often...

    Yes. There's a so called "paradox" where you feel worse before you feel better as your body starts functioning properly with the proper vitamins. Perhaps this well explain..... http://www.hormonesmatter.com/paradox-vitamin-deficiency-disease/

    Furguston, All those symptoms you listed are symptoms of high histamine levels. Mast cells release their histamine when told to do so by T cells that have found an antigen. Calcium ions inside the mast cell relay the degranulation orders from the T cells on the outside of the mast cell to the histamine storage tank within the mast cell. When...

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholecalciferol "It is produced by the ultraviolet irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol extracted from lanolin found in sheep's wool." Congratulations! Seems you probably have a wool/lanolin allergy now. Not every reaction is caused by gluten.
  23. knitty kitty
    Sorry, but that's not how allergic reactions work. That's not how hypersensitivity reactions work. You have to have a sensitizing dose before you have an allergic reaction. Prior to the sensitizing doses and the big allergic reaction, your body reacts stronger and more aggressively to the antigen. But there's a tipping point, that sensitizing dose...

    Ferguston, Do you have an allergy to wool? Or to fish? Or yeast? Some vitamin D 3 supplements are made from lanolin from sheep's wool. If you have an allergy to wool, this could explain your hypersensitivity/histamine reaction to your supplements. Some vitamin D supplements are made from fish, like cod liver oil. If you're allergic to...

    Here's an article by Dr. Lonsdale about the asthma and thiamine connection..... https://www.hormonesmatter.com/asthma-a1at-deficiency-thiamine/ Eat more Liver! It's a great source of thiamine! 🐱
