specifically styrian pumpkin for zinc and brazil nuts for selenium. although gluten free very difficult to find that are certified gluten-free so cross contamination is possibility. a couple brazil nuts gives more than what is required daily. i am newly diagnosed so any suggestions in this would be appreciated.

For pumpkin seeds, this should meet your needs. I get them at Costco. Certified gluten-free.

AS to Brazil nuts, you could go for those still in the shell. That is, if you don't mind the challenge of cracking them open.

duh, i never even thought about cracking them myself. thanks. i may have to resort to product like go raw but as general rule try to keep away from food grown in china because i had bad experience many yrs ago. i am not an ugly american but trust usa organic controls more.

I'm interested in where to get certified gluten-free cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and sunflower seeds. The vast majority of nuts and seeds at CostCo are not labeled gluten-free. I get the pumpkin seeds that trents mentioned and they are pretty good.

I had a reaction to the already-shelled brazil nuts from CostCo though, even though they are labeled gluten-free. Not sure what was going on there. Good idea on getting the ones that are still in the shell.

I get mine from Nuts.com.  If I copied the link correctly, this should take you to their certified gluten free selections:

Just received brazil nuts and they are absolutely delicious. Best ever and purchase will help preserve amazon rainforest and generate income for the local community. Why take a pill when 2 nuts more than takes care of selenium needs plus other nutrients.

Why take a pill

Food sourced is better.  But I have periods of anorexia so the pills guaranty that I have at least a sufficient baseline intake.  I as eat that nutrient reliably I stop supplementing. 

I buy Durham Deluxe Mixed Nuts at my local supermarket.  Apparently the Deluxe in the title indicates Brazil Nuts.

Over the last six months I've increased my iodine intake with drops of Liquid Iodine to 1625 mcg a day.  Since the US Tolerable Safe Upper Limit is 1100 mcg, for the purpose I am declaring myself Honorary Japanese.  Their Tolerable Safe Upper Limit for Iodine is 3000 mcg a day.  The results are insane.  Right eye vision returning, foot neurapathy improving, muscle tone and strength improving.  Overall, everything is getting better.  My quarterly bloods come up next week and my doctor told me she's testing for everything.  Should be interesting.

My vitamin D is 90 ng/ml from sun so I have stopped the 10,000 IU a day I have been taking for the past 10 years,  Another sign of healing from sufficient vitamins and minerals as part of my GFD diet.

Here's what I take most days:

  • B1 250 mg
  • B2 100 mg
  • B3 500 mg
  • B5 500 mg
  • DHEA 200 mg
  • Selenium 200  mcg
  • Vitamin C 2000 mg
  • Choline 500 mg
  • Iodine 1625 mcg

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future. 
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.
