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!

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!

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!

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!

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.
