Hello,  your  post  confuses  me  a  bit.. Are  you  wanting  to have  gluten-free  foods   but  don't  care  about CC? or  are  you liking  the law  of 20 ppm?

gluten-free  foods  under 20 ppm  may not  be  safe  for all celiac...I run a gluten-free  support  group  & many  can not  eat gluten-free foods  under the20 ppm  by law  , meaning  they  have to eat  gluten-free  foods  that  are certified  gluten-free......this  disease  is like a  chameleon   all the  same  yet  so different  .....

I for  one  am  very thankful  restaurants  are  trying  to  give  a better , safer, healthier gluten-free  meal....

gluten-free food  is  the  medicine  for  some one with celiac .....gluten-free  itself  is not  healthy , until  the last  few  years  when   better  gluten-free  flours  become  known  most  of the  gluten-free  flour  blends  are rice, starches, & sugars  so I don't call that  healthy.. The newer  gluten-free  blends  often  use  nut flours, added  fiber to add  to the  protein  & less starches & sugars...

Please  explain  the Health  craze? if  you  are  talking  about  gluten-free  healthier  foods  I'm  in.....twelve  years ago I never  thought about  whether  a gluten-free  food  was  healthy I just  wanted to be able to  eat,  now  I  think  about  better gluten-free  products to  nourish  the body & keep  healthy....

I looked at the comments on Twitter. There didn't seem to be many but  they seem to be making fun of gluten free food and the people who eat it for health reasons.  Not sure how that will help educate restaurants about cc?

 

Maybe I am just too old to understand?  :ph34r:

Kareng  I didn't understand  either  at  first  I thought  they  were  mocking  the gluten-free  diet  then I  thought  when I re-read  it  I took  it  another  way  so  yes, I'm  confused... the poster  doesn't  say if they are gluten-free......

 

just  weird   , the post????

I went and looked at the Twitter stuff under that hashtag - saw 2 people making fun of gluten-free being healthy - they ate a gluten-free brownie so it must be gluten-free ha! ha! - type of comment and a guy linking to this thread here. I didn't see anything by anyone else but maybe I don't know how to find it?

 

example: "the only things i know for sure that were gluten free that i ate for breakfast were soda and a brownie."

 

 

Maybe it should be "gluten free is yummy"  - something like that

Personally, I think Celiac is a serious Disease and awareness will not improve with a hashtag that anyone can post too.  Awareness develops as Researchers, Doctors and those in the Celiac Community spread knowledge and facts.

 

I also don't think this is the proper place to drum up traffic.  These are my personal opinions.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9. There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease. Are you still having symptoms? What do...

      By Oliverg · Posted

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
