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!

Jeanne, still ferreting these things out after nearly a year...

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!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By trents · Posted

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      Hello, I am feeling frustrated. I have hEDS and lifelong digestive issues but my GI PA is very focused on my celiac panel and I just want to make sure that she should be focused on that because completely changing my diet seems to have worsened my symptoms.  Symptoms are constipation, diarrhea, and acid reflux with spicy foods and certain foods like tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. I also don't have a gallbaldder as it was removed almost a year ago. This also exacerbated my symptoms. I did have joint pain from hEDS but that was already treated with low dose naltrexone about 4 months prior to going completely gluten free. Endoscopy was abnormal but inconclusive; basically showed some inflammation - which common with hEDS. I don't have any vitamin deficiency.   Celiac Panel Results: TTG-A <0.5 U/ML Reference Range: 0.5-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-A 72.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.2-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 TTG-G <0.8 U/ML Reference Range: 0.8-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 DGP-G 24.0 U/ML Reference Range: 0.4-14.9 U/ML NEGATIVE: <15 POSITIVE: =>15 IgG-A-M Results: IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, QN, SERUM 165 MG/DL Reference Range: 87-352 MG/DL IMMUNOGLOBULIN M, QN, SERUM 164 MG/DL Reference Range: 26-217 MG/DL   What are your thoughts, internet? Are there any questions I should be asking the PA? Thanks!

      By Roses8721 · Posted

      Help. I’m spiraling. Years of extensive symptoms:  What could this be? Years of: Mildly elevated alk and alt Fatty liver Random days of feeling like I’m coming down w flu but no fever and nobody else in house sick Intermittent diarrhea Severe abdominal distension Long history of cavities and enamel deficiency Sound sensitivity Anxiety and depression Low libido Sun skin allergy Frequent fatigue ended up seeing PCP because I looked 8 mo preg. Started gluten-free diet then celiac serology negative. SW GI Dr dx me w celiac as I had been in bed for 3 days after eating gluten after cutting. GI said not to do biopsy because it was clear what was going on and added to chart. My spiral is not seeing anywhere this is done and want to see if anyone else has dealt w this. If not celiac idk what else I will do. Family history or celiac as well as a death related to this.
