Interesting. Several years ago my gut was absolutely nuked by max dose clindamycin after a nasty infection that almost caused me to lose the use of an eye. The result was weeks of c difficile -like symptoms. The only thing that fixed it was boulardii.

@Lothric Just logged in to post suggesting B1. Great to see you've already tried it and found benefits. Only thing that worked for me long term. Genuinely life changing when I realised I had been B1 deficient

@PeaterDinklage I'm not sure about other symptoms, I did have irritability and racing heart, but that could also be linked to anxiety.

Im also not quite sure if the root cause to the improvement in anxiety is from B1 or the gut healing, I'd just be guessing. I'm also at the point health wise where I don't spend any time analysing anything anymore.

I had lifelong hypochondria, anxiety basically cured by fixing my gut. I can eat whatever I want now with no issues.

Also having something in your life to work for, since becoming a father I feel like my resilience has increased tremendously and I am in a far different headspace to what I was years ago.

A testimonial of sorts, that B1 basically cured my years long struggle with digestive issues, doctors had given me a diagnosis of IBS, offered me colonoscopy after colonoscopy but after reading Roar of wolverine and researching more, I refused. So I was just left to my own devices.

I actually think I had made myself B1 deficient, probably through excess sugar consumption, so I have just cured something that has been self induced, but it does feel a massive relief.

My symptoms before were chronic constipation, if I ate any wheat or cows dairy, I wouldn't have a bowel movement for days at a time. My celiac blood test came back negative, but wheat was just a constant issue for me. I once went to the hospital because I was convinced my appendix had burst, the pain in my lower right abdominal area was so intense. After an examination, I was told I was just constipated. Alongside this had massive anxiety and hypochondria.

Around 18 months ago, I can't remember exactly why, I began taking regular thiamine HCL at around 150mg per day. I went away on holiday and ate a pizza, even though I knew it would give me digestive issues. To my surprise I had none at all. After a few weeks of thinking about it, I realised B1 had fixed my digestive issues.

Now 18 months on I don't take B1 daily, just when I feel my digestion slowly, maybe every week or two. I still can't fully believe it has worked. Last weekend I did an experiment where I ate nothing but pizza for 48 hours, took 150mg of B1 on the first day. Had absolutely no issues whatsoever. That would've killed me 2 years ago.

I consider myself to have zero health issues these days, as it'll be no surprise to most, I think one my gut health had improved, everything else improved along with it.

B1 at around 150mg a day cured me of all my digestive issues of "IBS", which I had struggled with for years, in a few days. Wasn't expecting it to do that at all, was taking it for something unrelated. I no longer need to take it daily and feel I need a "top up" of B1 every week or two. This was around 18 months ago and still have no issues.

@Joop3000 Interesting, what doses do you take? I have heard of others doing well with niacin and not other forms.

@Ecstatic_Hamster Maybe it'd be useful if you summarised the parts of your research you think are most important, as people might not know the right questions to ask.

I did wonder if you had any thoughts about cancer prevention, as opposed to cure? Anything other than aspirin, avoiding pufa, avoiding excess iron/phlebotomies, excess methionine.
