Grits

I have read on here that we can have grits. I have been using the Quaker instant with no adverse effects. I have been reading though that Quaker is a major source of CC. So, my question is can someone point me in the direction of another brand of grits that may be a bit safer? I found I like grits a lot and its something different for breakfast.

Thanks

Tinkerbell

I was eating them to until I read on here about cross containmainating, so I called Quaker and they said a lot of there grains come in and they use the same truck so wheat or oats could come in contact with the corn, they cannot say any of there products are gluten free, I was wondering I haven't tried them but wal-mart has the same instant grits and I was thinking of trying them they don't have a 1-800 number though, I would love to find some grits to eat also!

I have been using the arrow head mills with no problems. They are good!

I read on here the other nite that Dixie Lily says there grits are gluten free but I haven't had a chance to call them yet. They have a web site but I haven't checked there yet either.

well, heck, I thought I found something to eat today. I'm sitting here on break eating Quaker instant grits. Other than 1/2 an egg for breakfast, it's all I've had since noon yesterday. I thought maybe I'd found a food that I could eat and not worry about. I live in a small town, no health food stores, not much of a store to speak of at all in fact. If you all find a safe grit or breakfast food let me know. I don't like eggs much and I don't like heavy foods in the morning but I have to eat to take some medicines. The more I read here today, the more I find I've been eating all the wrong brands/foods.

I have also been looking for a replacement for the Quaker grits. I can only find Quaker or the store brand in the store. I did see that Whole Foods carries Arrowhead, so I hope to find those when I go tomorrow. I really like grits and hope that I can find a safe choice.

If you have any Kroger stores near by I called the other day and the ladt confirmed the instant grits were gluten free, she said if there was a rick for CC it would list MAY CONTAIN: on the botttom of the ingridients, and it says may contain soy, so eat up!

My older son who doesn't have celiac disease has been eating these. My younger gluten-free son wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. They are Dixie Lily "quick grits". My MIL brought them back from Florida. You can't get grits in Canada. Anyway, the ingredients on the box are enriched white corn grits (with niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and iron).

What do you guys put on your grits? Walker puts brown sugar and maple syrup on them.

I eat the ArrowHead Mills grits. not the instant kind, but it only takes five minutes. I can't eat eggs, so breakfasts are limited. I put cheese on my grits, or butter.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
