Vitamin B1 deficiency?

I just had my 3 month check-up with blood work. Unfortunately my B1 is very low. I have been told to take two 100mg tablets of B1 a day. Has anyone else had to o this or, have any experience with this? I forgot to ask my doctor if I take both together or, take one in morning and one at night. I know I need to start it right away but, I am afraid to take at night in case it interrupts sleep. Does anyone have any input on this?

You aren't gettin in your high potency multi vit/mineral chronically are ya ,-) ya bad thang!!  I kid I kid!!

I never heard of thiamine (B1) causing a sleep disturbance before tho so I think yer ok there.  200mgs a day is the usual supplementation for deficiency. You'll wanna take that 100mg at night for shizzle...cuz you'll metabolize it better. Ain't peein it out all day with activity and ^^fluids...all the Bs are water soluble! Some are indeed stored for a whiles anyway..before adios and problems..like MAJOR problems happen.

Dietary...

Consider cuttin down on coffee, tea or boozin it up  ,-)  as too much of a good thing will screw up yer thiamine 

Some wheat germ thrown in soups, yogurts , pork tenderloin is high in thiamine if you eat meats, those Morningstar garden patties if you prefer meatless are great.

At the nutrient data base link I used ^^... scroll down to the vitamin section n  look up foods that are highest in thiamine...in categories you find appealing...say highest thiamine...lowest calories.  highest thiamine...lowest total carbs whatever plan you follow

VSGrs do not LIVE on high protein low carb & cals alone ya know ,-)  

Stick w/ your docs orders Im sure you'll be right as rain in no time puzz.  

Keep takin your required Multi-vit and minerals  (w/  Iron if yer menses aged)  EVERYDAY if possible!!

fwiw I usually take my multi after dinner, late snack!

 

The program that I went through advises us to take a vitamin b1 supplement everyday . I take mine in the morning and you can take both doses at once. You do not want to become deficient, since a deficiency can lead to permanent nerve damage .

I had surgery in July and I have opted for the once a month shot of 1000 mcg. My sister is a nurse and she administers the shot. This seems more effective than the sublingual b.

I think you are taking about B12 Movis. Different than B1 thiamine.

My dr has always recommended a B1 every day. I have taken it every day since surgery. My thiamine has never been low. Hope you will take the B1 and get your levels back to normal. Take care.

i have had a very hard time tolerating the bariatric vitamins. i get nausea for half an hour. so i have been avoiding them. i just found the Celebrate capsules that i can tolerate much better but am only up to one a day. I need to get to three. i will increase to two soon and had better get my vitamin levels check at three months out. thanks for the heads up.

I have had the same issue.  I have only been able to eat the bariatric multi by sucking on it.  Chewing it causes instant gag reflex.  The calcium citrate are the ones that I am really struggling with because the taste/texture actually make the multivitamin seem pretty good. 

Puzzled,  Are you taking good quality multivitamins daily and still have a B1 deficiency?  What brand and how many are you taking?  My surgeon has me taking 2 multis a day.
