I just heard today that we can't have High Frutose Corn Syrup. Is this right? I am prob. asking a dumb question but I just didn't know that until today. Can anyone help?

I haven't heard this. I drink WAY too much soda, and never have a problem with the high fructose corn syrup in it. I know for sure it isn't healthy, but other than that I think it's okay...?

That's wrong. HFCS is gluten-free, although it's not a bad thing for everybody to avoid when they can.

Well, that's good news. I'll have to let my friend know.....she said she notices when she eats things with it in it, she feels bad (throws up, etc etc). I told her I noticed I've been having headaches but didn't know why (since I watch EVERYTHING I eat but after she told me about that, I thought it might be that??). I have one more for you, what about hersheys kisses...those bother my stomach?

Although hfcs does not contain gluten, it causes me symptoms because I'm sensitive to corn. Perhaps your friend is, too? Hershey's Kisses are gluten-free, but contain milk products, so that may be upsetting your stomach.

High fructose corn syrup is really bad for you. If it gives you headaches and makes you feel bad you should avoid it. Actually all people should avoid it anyway. Food companies use it because is so cheap for them. Here's some info:

HFCS does not contain gluten, but some people react badly to it. It can be particularly problematic for people with blood sugar control issues.

Since y'all have been SOOO helpful...got another for you. I now react to Sulfites (such as, in wines, etc). Any idea why? I've never had a problem with them until about a year ago...I now turn very red, my face gets VERY hot...and it stays that way for a while...It's so strange???

It's just something that some people react to. You can develop a reaction to it at any time - like any other sensitivity. (BTW, I've heard that organic wines are better, sulfite wise. I don't drink wine, and am not sulfite sensitve, so don't know personally, just from friends who are sensitive.)

Thanks Tiffany! I'll have to try that. I'm not a big drinker (maybe a glass of wine a month) but I do occasionally like to have one but I get to embarrassed when I go out and turn SOO red. I would love to find something else....and I don't normally drink mixed drinks or of course not beer...(since we can't) so I'm pretty limited.

There are many sulfite free, organic wines.

But I have yet to find one that tastes good, not state side anyhow.

For the most part, they all taste like dirty socks :unsure:

Great! Thats not good!! I've got to find something....the only wine I've tasted was one that my uncle had that was VERY VERY old and didn't contain sulfites....it tasted like I had just eaten a grape. It was ok but def. a dessert wine...not a drinking wine. It only a little bit was ENOUGH! If anyone knows one to try, please let me know! I'm up for the challenge!! :blink:

Vida Organics (not domestic but Whole Foods carries it) makes some pretty do-able

wines - Malbec Rose is my favorite. Also, some of the Badger Mountain

wines are not bad.

Domestic wine makers add sulfites to wine so that the shelf life

is longer. So if you buy organic wine - older is not necessarily

better.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
