    @Cosmicveganchick, What was in that liquid reset??? Wheat products are required by law to be enriched with vitamins and minerals lost in processing. In other words, wheat products have vitamin supplements added. You felt better eating gluten because it had vitamin supplements in it. Gluten attaches to opioid receptors in the brain and body...

    Thank you! Yes! Microbial transglutaminase acts the same as human tissue transglutaminase promoting inflammation. It's used in so much processed foods (gluten free and not), microbial transglutaminase is suspected as a possible cause for the recent increase in Celiac Disease. Those dairy opioids knock me out flat. I get DH and eczema (casein...

    @scanlanmd, Yes, once your Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are corrected, those symptoms should disappear. It usually takes about eighteen months to two years to heal. Add a B Complex, Magnesium (helps thiamine work properly) and a form of thiamine called Benfotiamine. Benfotiamine gets into cells easily and has been scientifically proven to...

    Sometimes it's a process of elimination. Keep us posted on your progress!

    Sorry about all the questions... Are you ready for more? 🐱 Were you eating at least two slices of gluten containing bread a day, if not more, before the antibodies blood test? Celiac antibodies can go down if you stop or reduce the amount of gluten before the test. Lab tests can be skewed if the blood isn't kept at a certain temperature ra...

    Are you anemic? Are you on a PPI, antidepressant, or NSaids? Have you been checked for SIBO?

    I would love to have some pudding, BUT... I'm allergic to Casein and lactose intolerant. 😿 And nut milks don't like me. How about some dairy free recipes? 🐱

    I found this site that might help you find a doctor or a dietician. https://nationalceliac.org/resources/where-to-find-a-dietician/ I would suggest taking the Vitamin D and B Complex twice a day at the beginning of meals. Taking a minimum of 300mg (100 mg with each meal) of Thiamine would be beneficial as well. I take 500 mg a day. Thiamine needs...

    Welcome to the forum, @StaleyFam89! First, be aware that you need to stay on a gluten containing diet for blood tests which test for Celiac antibodies. Keep eating gluten for an endoscopy which checks for Celiac damage in the small intestine. If you quit eating gluten before all tests are done, your body will stop making the antibodies against gluten...

    @Bryan100 and @BridgetteK, Welcome to the forum! Cheers to you, Bryan, for being so supportive and involved in Bridgette's recovery! A book I found most helpful is written by a medical doctor with Celiac and Celiac children (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne). The AutoImmune Paleo Diet (AIP diet) she designed has been proven scientifically to help in healing...

    @Rogol72, I don't notice a big problem with Maltodextrin from corn. There's usually only a minimal amount, so... here's an article that explains more... https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/is-maltodextrin-bad-for-me#takehome-message I don't take cod liver oil because I've got a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy and get awful...

    @scanlanmd, Yes, those are frequent symptoms both pre and post diagnosis, whether exercising or not. Many newly diagnosed Celiacs experience vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can affect how our bodies respond to physical and emotional stress. You may want to discuss with your doctor the benefits of supplementing with a B Complex supplement...

    Hello, @Onemoreceliac! Yes, you are right! Being on the gluten free diet can affect your test results. Here's an interesting study done....

    Correction of nutritional deficiencies would be a way to help. Supplementation with vitamins and minerals to ensure all micronutrients are sufficient to promote healing and health.

    @Sassyred Welcome to the forum! We're glad to help! What sort of medications have you been taking? Which medications were you given for your Hashimotos? Have you been treated for parasites or cancer? Any antibiotics? Certain antibiotics, chemo drugs and drugs for Hashimotos can induce B6 toxicity and copper deficiency. Certain genetic...

    You're very welcome. I'm glad you found the apparent cause.

    @Melissa Mandrick, Hi. And some more information about thiamine deficiency mimicking other diseases because doctors don't recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms.

    Do you mean L-Theanine? L-Theanine is different from Thiamine. L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green and black tea. There's L-Theanine in Oolong tea, also. Oolong is my favorite when I need to relax. L-Theanine is optional. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. It's the first B vitamin to be discovered. Thiamine is an essential...

    Hi, @Rogol72, You might do better taking Calcium, Magnesium and Boron separately. Calcium and magnesium compete for absorption. Better to take them individually and at different times. The citrate or glycinate forms of each of these minerals is easier on the intestines and more absorbable. Such as... Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium...

    @Lizbee Do you have or have you been checked for Diabetes?

    @Cosmicveganchick, Yes, you should try Thiamine anyway. You have other symptoms of thiamine insufficiency, the anxiety and shaking. Taking extra thiamine and the B Complex will help. How much B12 have you been taking? Like I said before, taking just one B vitamin can cause an unbalance in the others. You're taking just B12. B...

    Hello, @Carol1066, Have you changed your diet any? In a previous post you said you eat mostly meat and potatoes. Potatoes can cause continuing inflammation. Glycoalkaloids in potatoes have been shown to promote leaky gut syndrome. "Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease...

    P.S. I don't like pharmaceuticals either. I would rather give my body the micronutrients it needs to heal itself. Besides, I wasn't deficient in pharmaceuticals, I was deficient in vitamins. Thiamine is found in liver and other meats, sunflower seeds, Lima beans and English peas. However, you can't eat enough food to correct a deficiency as quickly...
