Reintroduced Wheat - Confused With Results

@tk If you have Wernicke's encephalopathy, it is reversible. If you diddle around and don't address it, it will morph into Korsakoff syndrome.
You appear to be making your gut bacteria the prime concern; I'm more concerned about your brain.

One problem that I personally experienced when severely thiamine depleted was my thought processes simply could not function. My head felt like it was stuffed with cotton. I could not think straight. Then I started listing to the side when trying to walk from the bed to the bathroom. I could not walk straight and kept running into the wall. It wasn't a fun time, especially since I had no idea what was wrong with me.
And I hurt all over. Lactic acidosis will to that to a person. I remembered Haidut had said (somewhere) that thiamine will lower lactic acid. That was my life line. I tried some, 300mgs of thiamine hcl dissolved in water. The response was fast (30-45 minutes) and astonishing. I'm just trying to throw someone a lifeline here.

@mostlylurking Yeah, my brain does not function. My head feels empty and I have a kind of pressure in my forehead.
I've been there and done that. Are you still able to walk a straight line?
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience and I will finish the remaining articles, order some thiamine hcl and update you with how things progress. I hope it can be tolerated and offer some relief, even if it is not as significant as what you experienced.
Tips: Take the thiamine hcl with water only, never juice. Take it at least 30 minutes away from eating anything. I started with 300-350mgs, twice a day; mid morning, then mid afternoon. When you have done that for a few days with no negative effects, increase the dose some, maybe up to 500mgs, twice a day. Then increase again after maybe a week. Do read Dr. Costantini's Therapy page to discern what your "optimum" dose is and try to achieve that dose in time. Do read Dr. Costantini' FAQs. There's good common sense advice there.
At this stage diet wise I am okay to continue eating processed crap? I really don't know what else to do as I'm not digesting anything else.
Don't eat processed crap. It will make you sicker. Focus on nutrient dense food. Can you eat dairy? Eggs? Don't consume coffee or black tea. Keep sugars down; that said, I never gave up orange juice myself and did fine. Sugars/carbs deplete thiamine. Coffee & tea block it. Avoid polyunsaturated fats as they are poisonous. I drink a lot of milk with hydrolyzed gelatin, vanilla, and a little sugar in it. It's fast, easy, nutritious. If you can tolerate milk, it's a good convenience food. The hydrolyzed gelatin increases the protein amount; 1/8 cup = 11 grams of good digestible protein so it makes a 16 ounce glass of milk equal 27 grams of protein. You need at least 80 grams of protein daily; 100 grams would be better.
Get yourself some thiamine hcl and some magnesium glycinate. These are important.
Be gentle with yourself.
Let me know how it goes.

@tk have you tried progest-e just for the temporary symptom relief value?

Don't be afraid of the thiamine hcl. It might lower your blood sugar which might make you simply hungry or it might make you light headed from the reduction in blood sugar. Do plan your next meal ahead of time so that you can eat after 30 minutes if you feel the need to. Simply eating something will change how you respond to the thiamine so you do have control and can change/moderate how you feel pretty quickly.

@tk I get it. When you’re ready to dive into if you’re a good candidate for progesterone supplementation, that product is sold by Ray’s wife, based off his patent.
