Hi everyone,

I contacted Jergens today and she said (immediately) that NONE of their products are gluten free, because everything is from outside sources.

I've had that reply as well. I wonder if any of these companies have any idea what a large part of the population they are cutting themselves off from.

Just think, it's the Celiac in the whole house hold who dictates the products that are used by the family.

Perhaps this is something we should be telling companies when we get that 'I can't garentee" answer.

I know! I was a little disappointed, but I also bought some Revlon products and called them and THOSE were a go, so it made me feel better ! :)

I would translate that into "We don't know and we don't care!"

You are right Peter, but as more of us are diagnosed, they all had better start caring or they are going to lose a lot of business. After all, the free market place is based on money. Perhaps that's the way our Celiac groups should start putting their pressure on to educate these companies about how many are really going to drop out of their market share. I really believe that in a few very short years, those of us with Celiac disease will have enough power to affect the bottom line of a good many companies. We probably could now, but I think a good many of us are too shy to call in to companies, or meekly say "okay" instead of saying, "well, why don't you know what you put in your products?" and "why should anyone buy those products if you can't say what's in them?"

It's the same thing that will be happening with forcing companies to lower the salt content in their pre-made foods. We baby boomers are getting older with many blood pressure and heart issues. And we will be the majority of the population. Putting 36 - 45% of a daily allowable amount in one can of soup is not necessary, nor should it be allowed. Think of the cost to the health care system.

Okay, that's my rant for the day :lol:

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
