    Polyphenols can deactivate thiamine! Tannins deactivate thiamine! By cutting out polyphenols you made more active thiamine available and your insomnia resolved! Read the section "CHEMICAL DEGRADATION AND COMPLEXATION" http://thiamine.dnr.cornell.edu/Thiamine_causes.html Best wishes! P.S. Thiamine deficiency affects sleep. https:...

    BuddhaBar, Glad to hear your mind is calming down. Are you getting any sunlight? Exposure to natural sunlight can help reset your clock. Open the curtains! There's full spectrum lights available. https://verilux.com/pages/full-spectrum-light I hope you continue to feel better and that your doctor will do all tests necessary. ...

    Ask the doctors when you go to check for thiamine deficiency. Thiamine deficiency can cause anxiety, diarrhea, palpitations, muscle weakness tremors and weight loss. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Thiamin-HealthProfessional/#h5 There's a connection between low thiamine and hyperthyroidism. If you feel worse go to emergency care and...

    Those vitamins and minerals you are low in are the easiest ones to test for. Testing for other vitamins is a bit trickier because they are mostly inside cells. Doctors can test for byproducts of vitamin usage, but this can be expensive. Check with your doctor about supplementing thiamine. Doctors can give thiamine intravenously, or you may prefer...

    In the early stages of thiamine deficiency and in children, vomiting is a symptom. Thiamine is needed by the body to process carbohydrates into energy for our bodies. Those gluten free bread like products are not required to be enriched with vitamins. Gluten containing breads are required by law to be enriched with vitamins that the processing of...

    Have you been checked for vitamin deficiencies? You might not be absorbing enough thiamine from your diet. Thiamine is necessary to provide energy to our cells to make muscles work. Without enough thiamine, we feel run down. Other vitamins New Celiacs may be low in are Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/thiamin#deficiency ...

    Elite, Have you had your Vitamin D level checked recently? Low levels of Vitamin D have been found in Hashimoto patients. Another vitamin that is often low is thiamine. I found an article that explains which vitamins can help. https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/most-common-nutrient-deficiencies-hashimotos/ Please don't lose...

    BuddhaBar, Didn't mean to overwhelm you. LoL. I studied nutrition in college and continued to study afterwards hoping to figure out what was wrong with me. I was very sick and got tired of being told by the doctors it was all in my head and thrown medications to treat the symptoms without finding the real cause. I was taking a daily vitamin...

    BuddhaBar, I'm glad to hear you're going to take Vitamin D supplements! I take them year round. My Vitamin D level was eleven. My doctor prescribed D2 supplements which are synthetic and didn't agree with me. I switched to D3, the natural form, and my body loved them. I craved those little D3 pills. I ate them like m&m's. It was really strange...

    Hello! No need to worry. I had really horrible insomnia and anxiety attacks, too. I found I was deficient in many vitamins and minerals. Many newly diagnosed Celiacs have malnutrition because Celiac Disease causes malabsorption. I was deficient in pretty much every thing: Vitamin D, the eight different B vitamins, Vitamin C, magnesium, and iron. Remember...

    Hello. Sorry you're feeling discouraged and unwell. Things will get better. I was very sick with similar symptoms. My doctors were clueless. I researched a lot. I discovered information about Histamine Intolerance. As a result, I began the AutoImmune (Paleo) Protocol diet (AIP diet). I only included AIP foods that were also on a Low Histamine...

    Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies, besides iron? Newly diagnosed Celiacs often have nutritional deficiencies. Neurological symptoms may be caused by deficiencies in thiamine, niacin and B12. Nitrous Oxide used in anesthesia during endoscopy can cause a sudden loss of vitamin B12. Worsening acne can be a result of Vitamin...

    B12 deficiency can cause hypoglycemia. B12 deficiency can cause unintentional weight loss. B12 deficiency can also contribute to obesity and inflammation. B12 deficiency is frequently found in newly diagnosed Celiacs. B12 deficiency is frequently found in Diabetics (both types) (with or without Celiac Disease). Nitrous Oxide, laughing gas used in anesthesia...

    Hey! I found this article and I wondered if.... https://www.thehealthy.com/nutrition/medical-mystery-scurvy-2012/ It's about a man with scurvy, yep, Vitamin C deficiency! Do you think your symptoms are similar? And this article describes other vitamin deficiencies that cause edema. http://www.progressivehealth.com/5-vitamins-to-reduce...

    Not sure if this article will help...it's about when antibodies develop in children predisposed to Celiac and diabetes, but it discusses the different antibody tests and the ages different antibodies appear. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2845026/ Good luck

    Have you been checked for a vitamin B12 deficiency? B12 deficiency can cause diarrhea, bloating, migraines, vision problems like your flashes of light, skin rashes, itching, hallucinations, and mental problems like mania, bipolar, depression, and panic attacks. I lived through this myself. Meds didn't work for me either. Vitamin B12 deficiency...

    Hi! I found this article that may help... Celiacs often have a deficiency in Vitamin D because we don't absorb nutrients well. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3784929/ Hope you feel better! K

    Hello! I found a couple of articles that I found very interesting. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2644268/ And https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4883667/ I've suffered from similar symptoms and thiamine helped me. Hope you feel better!

    Here's a great article on SIBO... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099351/ From this article, I learned SIBO can cause vitamin B12 deficiency that doesn't show up on regular tests. There's a section about Celiac Disease and SIBO specifically that's really interesting. B12 deficiency alters the metabolic pathways resulting in...

    Hi, this is an old post and the other posters might not be around. Yes, Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can occur. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820055/ And the itchy skin can be a sign of B12 deficiency.... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-...
