Just wondering if anyone can tell me the most trusted brand for corn tortillas or tortilla chips? Also wondering if bettermade regular potato chips are 100 percent gluten free. I call the manufacturer but the lady didnt sound to assuring I figured I'd ask you all. One off the wall question that has nothing to do with food. Has anyone experienced shortness of breath way before diagnoses and after? Ive only been gluten free for 5 weeks. But am having an echo on tuesday

How bout the wonderful brand they sell at Walgreen are there pistachios and almonds gluten free in a facility with no wheat? How bout sweet treats like candy

I would honestly stick with whole foods and dedicated stuff like Gerbs seeds, granola, and dried fruits. But do check those grocery UPC list I had earlier as they had all the stuff those grocery stores have that is supposedly gluten-free in the entire stores including candies, nuts, seeds, etc. Always read the ingredients and warning labels as company s can change formulations per batch, and change sources. Not common but has happened over the years. Wonderful Pistachios brand I have gotten in the past no issue. I would stay away from stores off brands like Walgreen own version of nuts, and snacks. They are bargain snacks and commonly made on shared lines, this goes for most store specific brands. You sorta have to stick to known safe Name brands or specific brands of foods, sadly this is why a celiacs diet is normally so expensive for one part.

Mission corn tortillas are good.  Tostitos scoops and Lay's are gluten free.  Lots of sweets are gluten free...I have to avoid soy as well so I stick with Enjoy Life and Sun Cups.  I also bake sweet treats.  I eat Planters cashews with no problems.

When my ferritin was low I would get shortness of breath.

OK this has me intrigued, my ferratain has been 0-2 last few test. I know I get winded running more then across the street. I end up just having to power walk, resistance bands, weights, and exercise bike due to this. No supplements have seemed to help this -_-

It was 15 with the range being 15-150.  I would get short of breath climbing stairs and things like that.  Getting it into the mid 20s solved that for me though.

Have you talked to your Dr about the shortness of breath?  It's quite scary.

I'm getting an echo on Tuesday three years ago they noticed my pulmonary artery pressure was high. I'm super super scared about this test. I don't want pulmonary hypertension. My actual heart looked fine but it's something they are testing. When it rains it pours

I am so sorry that you are going through this and are scared.  ((((Hugs))))

Sometimes it does seem to be that when it rains, it pours.  I've been there too.  Try to be positive and take good care of yourself this weekend.  Eat nourishing food and do things that relax you.  I love yoga and Epsom salt baths for that.

I hope your test goes well, do let us know.

Both claim to be gluten free on their sites, check the labels to be sure like always. I might suggest almond butter also, and if trying to put on weight a nice protein powder between meals, and before bed can help maintain weight. Pumpkin seed protein works great for recovery, and I personally use MRM Veggie Elite and Nutra-Key V-Pro. You might try a meal replacement shake from MRM, Oragain, or  a protein powder, also between meals in a smoothies or just to sip on during the day blended with banana, nut  butters, and coconut yogurt.

Amazon has it for about $22-26 for 2lbs of either MRM Veggie Elite Vanilla or Nutrakey V-Pro Vanilla,  Pumpkin seed protein is much more expensive so I normally use it in moderation, But You can get it on amazon best pricing, there is also pumpkin seed meal full fat version from GERBS that is a tad cheaper per lb. Let me dig you up some links.

^MRM Veggie Elite, I prefer the cinnamon bun flavor personally this is a tad gritty but great priced per lb and a good yet simple blend helps with the full feeling,

Open Original Shared Link

^Nice Blend great BCAA support and super smooth and blends great with the best flavor while being safe, and simple with ingredients

Open Original Shared Link

^I use this brand and buy it by the 5lb bulk bag.

Open Original Shared Link

^Gerbs has it in a meal that can be added along with any other of the seed meals to smoothies etc to add more fats, I do suggest checking out this companies selection of sunflower, pumpkin, hemp etc seeds and their dried fruits for snacks. Nuts.com for nuts in bulk at great prices gluten-free (I do not use them due to my peanut allergy)

Open Original Shared Link

^Free Samples of all the MRM Vegan Protein powders just pay shipping not bad for a trial run before investing. As mentioned they are a bit more grainy then Nutra key but price wise pretty good on Amazon (Better then the retail site prices)

I have never seen an orange juice with gluten.  Not a pb with gluten. Just read ingredients.  That should work for most things.  There are plenty of main stream snacks, protein powders, etc.  you don't have to spend a fortune

Unless you already know or have identified other food intolerances (that can be temporary or permanent), you can really do gluten free cheaply.  Need a protein snack?  If are not a vegetarian, snack on meat.  I pack my kid sliced chicken breast as part of her snack.   Hardboiled eggs, slice beef, tuna salad.   I often eat fish for breakfast.  Leftovers.  Plenty of fats.  Coconut oil in my coffee, olive oil (lots of it) to cook or coat my salad.  The list is endless.

I thought the same with peanut butter by my research led me to find that Skippys makes a chocolate blend that contains gluten, there are a few stores that make their own brand of PB on shared lines with "Cookie Dough Peanut Butter" and "Peanut Butter Snack Packs" . But Name brands seem pretty safe after looking into them. -_- I wish I could eat peanut butter again, been using peanut free peanut butter extracts in things to get that craving down. And eating plenty of almond and cashew butter. But as long as you check brands/products FAQ page and read labels you can be OKl

Ok.... maybe the pb with cookie dough could get cookie dough in regular pb...... but I would think the pb is made in the pb machines and some of it is sent to a special mixer to add things like cookie dough.  The regular peanut mixer/squisher would  completely pulverized the cookie dough with the raw peanuts.  And the pretzels or breadsticks packaged in those little packs would have nothing to do with the pB machines.  And some strange flavored PB ?  I think I did say to check ingredients - it would be listed.

I just don't like to see this made harder than it needs to be for newbies.

Very trusted company by us Celiacs:

Open Original Shared Link they have nut butters too

Planters is a Kraft product -- Kraft is quite trusted by us. They will always label any gluten and further label any manufacturing info. that might cause a problem such as shared lines.

Que Pasa are my go to tortilla chips, not only gluten-free but also non GMO, which is really important to me.

Jif Natural PB is gluten-free and soy free.  And it tastes better than Skippy too.

Quaker gluten-free marked rice cakes are ok.

You can make corn muffins pretty quick and easy.  There is often a recipe on the package of corn meal.  I use half masa and half corn meal.  A banana added in makes them less crumbly.

Mission brand corn tortillas are gluten-free, I think they were already mentioned.

Flourless peanut butter cookies are not hard, there are recipes online.

Sugar free peanut butter fudge is pretty easy, again recipes are online all over the place.

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
