Lister

Recommended Posts

Lister Rising Star

i know that basic crest is gluten free but is it the same for all of there toothpastes i have hte one with bakingsoda/cavity protection/whitning- as i am a smoker and try to keep my teeth from going yellow, is there a better brand to use??

also i some questions, does deodarent matter since it does not get anywhere close to your mouth??

i use pure and natural soap and sometimes dove or zest are these gluten free? i have areally hard time trying to read ingrediants as my eyes like to skip back and forth on words and the small print makes it almost impossible, ok and this one is really off topic but i dont want to open another post i feel like i post to much so, Pots,pans,can openers and all those good kitchen products like that, do i really have to go out and buy new ones?? isnt cleaning them enough to prevent cc??? i know a toaster is a must but other then that shouldnt soap and hot water take care of any problems?? like i have a george forman grill i dont have to go out and get a new one do i??

all crest products are gluten free, according to the manufacturer.

in theory deoderant shouldn't matter, but most of us like to be 'complete'.

I know dove is gluten-free, do not know for sure about the others, but believe they are. (I think unilever says they'd label wheat in plain english.)

some pots and pans can be cleaned. any non-stick cookware that has any scratches on it will have small groves that can harbor gluten that you're not really going to be able to get out. soap doesn't "dissolve" gluten, nor does hot water, as you can tell by leaving stuck on pasta in a pot in the sink for days - you still need to scrub. stainless steel pans can usually be cleaned well enough - always by hand, the dishwasher isn't going to be sufficient if you're dual-purposing the pans. but you MUST be VERY thorough about cleaning. and forget about collanders; like toasters, just get a new one.

I don't know what the surfaces of those grills are like. if it's a non-stick surface, and you've used metal utensils on it (you're not supposed to use metal utensiles on non-stick cookware :o ), it may have problem scratches on it. you have to use your own best judgement about the shape it's in and how it's been used. in many cases, you would need to replace it, but certainly not in all cases if it's been well taken care of.

if it's a non-stick surface, absolutely do NOT scrub it with a metal scouring pad, or most scouring pads. you will only ruin it entirely and have to chuck the whole thing anyway.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
