    I started at 100mg nicotinic acid. The first time, the flush was very strong, but got less each day. I took 1500mg after I got covid, and recovered very quickly. Now I take 1000mg about 5 days a week. Double check your niacin. Make sure it does not say anything slow release...check the reviews on Amazon and if people are complaining about the flush...

    I've had fantastic results with the flush form of niacin, increased energy, strength, overall health, skin younger, feel younger, better sleep, and sinuses much more open, asthma gone. Quercetin didn't do anything for me.

    Thank you for sharing what you have learned, you don't know who else you might have helped, but I'm sure it was someone. I found that eating as close to a paleo diet as I could helped at lot, especially at first when there are so many gluten free products out there, that you don't know if they are really ok or not. Give your body time to heal. I...

    I dropped 30 lbs in a month when I first started gluten free. It was all water and inflammation, underneath I was like a skeleton. My doctor said some Celiacs are overweight like that, he had a few patients that were over 300 lbs. and they went to normal weight after going gluten free. As I felt better and could do more, and exercise, I have added back...

    Have you been checked for other conditions like Thalassemia? It's a genetic anemia, common in Mediterranean area descendants, Portuguese, Italians, and more. If something like that, you don't absorb iron and iron supplementation must be avoided or it can harm liver, etc. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 19, after docs always told me to take iron, but...

    I felt better after my diagnosis after a few months, but still lagged in energy for a long time Good quality B vitamins, with methyl forms, like Designs for Health B Supreme, or Procaps Labs High Potency B-Complex really help. I also take Liquid Health B12 recommended by someone here and B1 oil form Benfotiamine recommended by KnittyKitty. All that helped...

    I got very sick on Bob's gluten-free oats, they may be near higher limit of gluten free. I am able to eat "purity protocol" oats. I have been eating gluten-free Harvest brand with no issues. Here's an article: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/oats-produced-under-a-gluten-free-purity-protocol-listing-of-suppliers-and-manufacturers/ I was...

    I just want to caution on anemia being always from iron deficiency. There can be other causes. I tested low iron for years and years, docs always telling me to take more iron, but it never improved. It took until I was 19 years old in college to figure it out. A young medical student in the student health clinic did additional blood tests that showed...

    I got a formal diagnosis from a naturopatic medical doctor (in the US). It was based on 3 things: 1. positive blood tests for antibodies 2. positive DNA test 3. positive response to a gluten free diet

    Probably from cross contamination in their kitchen, but one thought ... Did you have french fries (chips) with it? If something is deep fried in a fryer that also fries gluten foods, it gets contaminated.

    I had a lot of acid reflux issues before I was diagnosed with Celiacs, and they lingered on for quite awhile even after going gluten free. Things in this article really helped me: https://drjockers.com/hiatal-hernia/ especially: 1. raising head end of bed a little by putting on 2 pieces of wood 2. the heel thumping exercise when any bad symptoms...

    Could there have been any oat flour in the pancake mix? I can only eat oats if they are purity protocol oats, not just gluten free, not just certified gluten free, purity protocol. So I stay far away from any pre-made item or mix that has oats, but I do eat oats separately, like brand gluten-free Harvest, which are purity protocol.

    I was also a little overweight before I was diagnosed, especially for me that had been super skinny most of my life, just figured it was part of getting older. I was finally diagnosed by a naturopath at 59, and he told me he's had several Celiac's patients that were HUNDREDS of lbs overweight. one 300 lbs over. I went gluten free and dropped 30 lbs in...

    I had a lot of success with the strategies in this article...he may not have a hiatal hernia, but the things here help regardless. https://drjockers.com/hiatal-hernia/ If he is taking any antacids, not good, we need acid in our stomach to absorb many vitamins, for example, vitamin D. I had great success with the heel thumping maneuver, also...

    I didn't show any thiamine deficiency, not alcoholic, but sure did have a very positive response to taking a thiamine supplement in the oil form, benfotiamine. After going for allergy shots for years, complaining about asthma, many pulmonologist visits, bad reactions to steroid inhalers (severe high blood pressure when I'm normally low BP) that the pulmonologist...

    Don't let them put you on antacids, PPI's, etc., except for a VERY short term to heal. I had a doc try to prescribe me that, bragging that he takes it every day, real athletic young guy...and when I said...but we need acid in our stomachs to break down the vitamins especially D so that our intestine can absorb them!...He went silent. The info with the drugs...

    My guess is you are probably getting glutened, but here is something to try while you are figuring it out. I had a lot of improvement in overall digestion and consistency in intestines, even being strictly gluten free, by taking Butyrate capsules. Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that's produced in the small intestines, you can do an internet search...

    Lots of dis-ease symptoms can be connected to Celiac's, and it causes malabsorption, which leads to vitamin deficiencies. Eating gluten free doesn't just suddenly build back those deficiencies, it takes a very long time, depending on how long you have had malabsorption (I was diagnosed at age 59 and probably had it for a very long time). Once I got...

    It's how it's always been for me when I get glutened, it doesn't hit right away on one time, it's cumulative over weeks, so it is hard to figure out what the culprit is. I didn't even used to get the diarrhea. Drives me nuts, but it's why I'm very strict in my house with no gluten allowed.

    I tried the gluten free Oreo's. I had noticed they contain oats, and was concerned as I assumed they most likely were not "purity protocol" oats. No noticeable reaction after going through half the bag, having 2-3 about once a week. Then I forgot I had the bag as it got to the back of the cabinet, so when I found it, I ate a few every night after dinner...

    I finally got my sense of taste and smell back (been gone since before 2015)!!! I started following a flush niacin (nicotinic acid, not niacinamide) protocol for prevention of covid and overall health. When l-serine and a few other co-factors were added, BAM! In a few days, it all came back. That was late January. Even when I got covid, I didn't lose...

    I agree with the recommendations for K2. I take it at the same time as D3. I was not having much success getting my D levels up until I added K2, and voila, in the normal range. I think it's K2 MK7 that is the one to take.

    I thought I hit perimenopause early, but 37 is really early. Just one thought...did it start after getting one of the covid vax's? I have a friend about your age whose periods went really wonky after her vax, and now we are researching and reading a lot of women are having the same issues.

    I am now experimenting with another B vitamin...niacin. Naturopaths have long recommended the flushing form of niacin (nicotinic acid, not nicotinamide) to clear out atherosclerosis. My boyfriend has that really bad, had a heart attack and 4 way bypass, so we were trying it for him, and I started with it also. I read some studies about flush niacin and...

    Hi. I also had big improvement by taking B-12, but not until I used the methyl form Methylcobalamin. I take this one as recommended by others here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BHUZ68/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My other big improvement, especially with asthma was B-1 Thiamine, as recommended by @knitty kitty , to...
