    @Jenniferxgfx, I took a multivitamin, but I still ended up deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B 1. It wasn't until I started taking high dose Thiamine that my health improved. Every cell uses Thiamine to make energy so our bodies can function properly. When we're under emotional stress, and physical stress (like fighting Covid or another infection...

    Get the Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote healing in the intestines. 😺

    Any one of them or all of them. They are all Thiamine. Because Benfotiamine and Allithiamine can get into cells without going through the Thiamine transporters, you don't need to take as high a dose as Thiamine Hydrochloride. Thiamine Hydrochloride works just fine. It's what I tried first because I didn't know about the other forms. I...

    @Jenniferxgfx, POTS has been linked to vitamin deficiencies, B12, and especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. Fighting an infection like Covid can deplete thiamine in the body.

    @SargeMaximus, Here's the kind I bought...looks like the price went up... https://www.nowfoods.com/products/supplements/vitamin-b-1-100-mg-tablets Thiamine Mononitrate is not bioavailable. Thiamine Mononitrate is put into foods and vitamins because it has a long shelf life. It has a long shelf life because it doesn't react with other...

    @Seethefacts, If you were taking vitamins at the time you had your vitamin levels checked, your blood tests would not be accurate. Your blood tests would have picked up on the vitamins you were taking. Blood levels for vitamins are not an accurate measurement of the amount of vitamins stored inside cells. Blood levels can reflect how much of that...

    @SargeMaximus, Salting, smoking or curing can inactivate thiamine. So if you're eating sausages, bacon and hams, you're not getting enough thiamine. Caffeine in soda pop, coffee and black tea will also inactivate thiamine. Sweet potatoes contain thiaminase, an enzyme that breaks thiamine down so it doesn't work. If you've got Small...

    @LaLeoLoca, Do keep us posted on your progress! I'm so glad you're feeling better!

    @SargeMaximus, Have you tried adding Thiamine (thiamine hydrochloride, benfotiamine, Allithiamine) to your diet? Constipation is an early symptom of Thiamine insufficiency. Thiamine is needed to turn carbohydrates into energy. The more carbohydrates you include in your diet, the more Thiamine is needed. https://www.ncbi.nlm...

    @Rogol72, You're right! All kinds of milk have them! I found this interesting.... Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8345738/

    @Jnapier, How about doing a genetic test to see if you have any genes for Celiac Disease? It's noninvasive, and you don't have to consume gluten. Having genes for Celiac Disease does not mean that you have active Celiac Disease. Having Celiac genes means that you have the potential to develop Celiac Disease. If you do have Celiac...

    High dose Thiamine is 500 - 2000mg per day for several months. Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, Allithiamine and Thiamax (TTFD forms) can be used in high dose Thiamine supplementation. There can be a "normal level" in blood work, but that level may reflect how much thiamine recently consumed in meals in the previous twenty-four hours. ...

    @VeronicaTheCeliac, How are you doing? I hope you're feeling better. How disappointing to realize you've been glutened halfway through! We've all realised a smidge too late.... Things I do to help when I get glutened.... Stay hydrated! Try not to drink sodas, coffee and black teas. These have caffeine and can act as diuretics and may...

    @Jenniferxgfx, Why are you in such need for electrolytes? You mentioned in another post you are on medication for tachycardia? How long have you been on this medication? How long have you been using these electrolyte products? You mentioned fibromyalgia, too. Any other symptoms?

    @Ida Oldford, I have environmental sensitivity like you describe. I can't tolerate perfume counters or heavily scented cleaning supplies, scented fabric softeners and soap. Most perfumes and scents contain Sulfites. Some foods are high in Sulfites, too. Sulfite HyperSensitivity prevents me from taking pharmaceuticals containing sulfite compounds...

    I thought this article would be of interest. It discusses vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can impact hair growth. The Role of Vitamins and Minerals in Hair Loss: A Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6380979/

    @Matty007, Yes, I had side pain, extreme bloating. I had Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). That's where bacteria normally living in the colon spread into the small intestine where they are not supposed to be. SIBO bacteria like to eat simple carbohydrates like rice and potatoes. SIBO bacteria produce lots of gas as a result, hence...

    Hi, @Matty007, I found the Autoimmune Protocol Diet very helpful in healing. The AIP diet removes all grains and nightshades. Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and peppers are all nightshades. Nightshades contain alkaloids that promote leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut syndrome allows big molecules from the digestive tract to get into bloodstream and...

    @Charliexxx, Yes, I'm reading Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' book "Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Disautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition". I got so ill so quickly from a gluten challenge, I opted for genetic testing. Hippocrates said "first do no harm" which is counterintuitive to doing a gluten challenge. He also said "let food be your...

    @Ida Oldford, Costochondritis can be caused by a deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1. Weight loss, no appetite (anorexia), constipation, fatigue and pain are all classic symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. These are all symptoms I had when I was Thiamine deficient prior to my Celiac diagnosis. Since Thiamine deficiency is usually seen in alcoholics...

    @Rogol72, Yes, in some cases blepharitis can be caused by bacteria or even mites! Thiamine helps our bodies fight infections, including bacteria and mites. Benfotiamine has been shown to help with dry eyes and iritis, too. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2685466/

    @LaLeoLoca, Thiamine deficiency can manifest as Gerd. Gerd isn't a overproduction of digestive juices, Gerd is caused by an underproduction of digestive juices. Thiamine is needed to make digestive enzymes and for secretion of digestive juices. POTS is connected to thiamine deficiency. Many sufferers of long Covid are deficient in thiamine...
