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:

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
