Beano Commercial Mentions Whole Grain Breads

I just saw a beano commercial.

Lady A saw the beano on the table, and asked Lady B about it.

Lady B said, I just keep it out so I remember to take it with the first bite.

Lady A says, You must eat a lot of beans huh?

Lady B says something like, No it works with everything. EVEN WHOLE GRAIN BREAD.

ACK!!!

All the undiagnosed celiacs in the regular world who are getting on the "whole grain" bandwagon along with everyone else, have got to be hating life by now. Even Beano is targeting whole grain as a gas source.

Ugh.

if only they would figure it out...

I still laugh at those silly Pepto Bismol commercials where they have people doing this crazy dance about all kinds of stomach issues all I can remember is it ends with "upset stomach... diarrhea" lol! is it indigestion? heartburn? ... anyway, you'd think eventually that someone would "get it"...

Or how about the one with the dancing and singing organs (stomach, etc)--they're happy due to the fiber from a whole grain cereal. :o

Or how about the Shredded wheat commercial that says to eat 2 bowls of this poison a day to loose weight. Or my personal non-favorite the mini wheat sitting on a microphone prompting a kid in a spelling bee and saying she would do her best after a nice brain fog producing breakfast. Have you noticed how often these 'whole grain' commercials are followed or surrounded by the afore mentioned ones.

I think, if I remember correctly, that Beano has gluten in it, doesn't it?

I took that stuff 1 time trying to help with excessive gas a couple of years ago and it made me very sick :( I threw it out after that.

I don't know if Beano has gluten in it. Wouldn't surprise me because I remember taking Gas-X several times, which always made things worse. Once I found out about celiac, and Gas-X has gluten in it, it all made sense.

Geez... Those are all such great / horrifying commercials. Makes you want to go down to the grocery store and stick pamphlets about celiac between the dozens of kinds of indigestion meds and cereal boxes.

Maybe we could be like the Moonies that used to be at the airports, and stand in the middle of those aisles, evangelizing about celiac disease.

:lol:

That's so funny! :lol::lol: (Don't think I haven't thought about it :ph34r: )

Or worse, you're allergic to the stuff in Beano (as I am - it's made with aspergillus fungus).

That Pepto ad kills me. Also, the ones where there are people sitting at the counter of a diner and they've just pigged out and now they need, tum-tu-tum-tum-TUMS! Well, duh! You just scarfed at a diner! How nice for you there's something you can take to sort of feel better.

No wonder there's an obesity epidemic.

PS - don't forget Tums, which looks gluten free from the ingredients, *isn't*!

Beano is made from mold. If you are allergic to mold, it will make you sick.

Yikes! I didn't know that! Good thing I've never taken it, and now I never will!

THANK YOU Plantime and SKBird!!!

Sorry but I have to laugh at the new Pepto Bismol commercial. The one with the grown people dancing to it. My husband has mastered the commercial. It's so funny...he performs it for me every night. :D

REALLY??? What's in them that has gluten? I've been taking them for calcium; maybe they're contributing to my remaining symptoms!

Caltrate is gluten free. Check the web site

I like the Moonie idea. But I won't shave my head!

Instead of flowers, we give out rice cakes.

It's in the Natural Ingredients or something. I was taking them last year after a glutening episode and kept getting worse. Then I posted on here and found out from a bunch of immediate responses that they are not gluten-free. Even calling the company - they waffle on it but can't guarantee it.

I would try not taking them and see if you start getting better. I did find Rolaids are gluten-free but you were taking Tums for the calcium, so they're not a straight across exchange on that matter.

For my stomach these days I take DGL (deglyccorized) licorice, which is as helpful to me as Tums or whatever used to be. I do resort to Pepcid when things are really bad - if it helps, I'm not sure, but I take them anyway.

Well, PHHHFFFFFTT!!! Actually, that's good news - it gives me something to try giving up to see if it helps. I also just discovered (thanks to the new labelling laws!) that my "contains NO known allergens" acidopholus actually contains dairy. (DOUBLE PHHHFFFFFTT!!!) Maybe getting rid of those two things will clear up the rest of the rash on my hands; I've been thinking that I must have some additional food intolerance, but I'd be really psyched to find out that it really IS just gluten and dairy!

This thread is hilarious, you all gave me the giggles :lol::lol:

I just saw the new Beano commercial today, and of course the Pepto Bismal one is always on. And the Tums...

Yikes!!!! I am allergic to mold! That could be why I was sick after taking it!

I was thinking of this thread last night while watching TV......I saw a new commercial for All Bran with yogurt crunch or something like that. It has all your body parts (stomach, intestines, mouth, heart, etc) dancing and singing "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands" and goes on to say that how just 1 serving is 40% of your daily fiber intake. It made my stomach hurt just watching! LOL!

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
