INSIGHT

Thiamine Links Gut Motility And Brain Energy

  • Thiamine (B1) is essential for mitochondrial energy, immune function, and acetylcholine synthesis, linking gut motility and brain function.
  • Stress, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis accelerate depletion and create a vicious cycle worsening gut and neurological symptoms.
ADVICE

Phase Thiamine Repletion Slowly

  • Replete thiamine gradually using mixed forms and phased escalation over 8 weeks to avoid paradoxical worsening.
  • Follow week-by-week dosing: start ~400 mg/day, increase to 600–1,200 mg/day, then 1,600–2,000 mg/day as tolerated.
