someone please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't a lot of products on Clan Thompson of British origin or Canadian and won't be of value to those in USA?

I thought that was why Gluten Guard system was best for those in USA...

I don't know. I haven't used Clan Thompsons database before. I just received that in an e-mail from our support group leader, so I thought I'd share.

The reason I am asking is because I am on the "fence" on this - which one to select....

I was under the understanding that Clan Thompson was America and therefore no good to Canadians.

call your credit card company and see if a "hold" has been put on your account and the amount. Then you can ascertain if you did the wrong thing.

If you did, then when charge is first on your account, again call daily to see when the "hold" is a firm "charge" quickly get in touch with Clan T. to work it out with them. Maybe this will work.

The confusion may be because Clan Thompson has 2 versions of the SmartList-- 1 for Canada and 1 for the USA. Clan Thompson is a family-owned business based in Maine. ALL products in the USA version of their SmartList software are available in USA stores. Both the Canadian and the USA versions are clearly marked USA or Canada on the product pages. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding about Clan Thompson's SmartList software.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      I mostly eat healthy. My diet has varied over the past 10 years but mostly consisted of meals I cooked at home made from scratch. Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly Canyon Bakehouse brand), vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, peanuts, chocolate (not in the past 6 months). However, the mistakes I made in my diet are that I consumed too much sugar and carbohydrates from gluten-free baked goods that I baked myself at home such as gluten-free dessert items, and also I ate pretty much the same exact meals over and over, so a great lack of diversity in what I ate. I got lazy. I think this messed up my microbiome. The meals I ate were mostly healthy though. I always made sure to eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.  I have checked for nutrient deficiencies over the years and I am sometimes low in Vitamin D. I started supplementing it after that. What concerns me is the progressive nature of the food intolerances, which indicates the gut is not healing and has been leaking all along.

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.
