I am so glad for you. Since you find the thiamine useful, it is pointing to a
thing you should always watch. The enzymes that use thiamine also metabolize alcohol and some drugs (antibiotic metronidazole). So if you have a genetic weakness in this system, you need to watch alcohol consumption as well as vinegar, and the few drugs. You may have to increase your thiamine to accommodate the things you consume.

Some drugs deplete thiamine:
Lasix (furosemide) and other diuretics
Sulfa drugs
most antibiotics
Zonegran (an anticonvulsant)
Theophylline

I think everyone on this board should try thiamine...just because it is so simple, and can work. It is not expensive or dangerous in any way. And it does work (works for me). Especially for burning type feelings.

I am so glad you are feeling better. That is what this board is for!
