There have been questions on other posts about charcoal. Someone mentioned some types were not gluten-free. I never thought of this! Which ones are okay?

I use 365 brand Charcoal from Whole Foods. Our Trader Joe's also carries a natural charcoal brand.

Natural charcoal is always OK. Briquettes almost without exception have wheat starch (and a bunch of other stuff). "Real" charcoal is better.

Thank you. That explains my upset stomach yesterday!! Fortunately, it was very minor, just a little upset in the morning and a little tired all day.

And speaking of charcoal. I've found that I have gluten reactions to water that has been filtered through "charcoal filters"!!!! I use only spring water or I purify my own with ceramic filters. Anyone else ever have problems?

I wonder what activated charcoal is made from? It's probably some kind of wood, I'd guess. I take it occasionally when I may have gotten some nightshade (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes) in my food that I ordered, etc, and didn't realize before I ate some.

I highly recommend mesquite real wood charcoal for the BBQ - not only is it gluten free, but the food tastes AWESOME!

      suggest gluten free food

      By olivia11 · Posted

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      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.
