Hi, and welcome to this board. Yes, there is a list. Nini (a member here) has put together several lists, that should answer many of your questions. She calls it the 'Newbie survival kit'. Here is the link to her website. Open Original Shared Link You scroll down to the bottom and click either on 'newbie survival kit zip file' or, if you have a problem with them, 'Newbie survival kit files', which has all the files separately to be downloaded.

I hope this helps.

Welcome! :D

Celiac.com also has a list of safe and forbidden foods. Click here to go to the page that has that info. As far as I know yeast extract is safe but it is a form of hidden msg if you are trying to avoid that as well.

hello andrea.....on your siggy you have a list of foods according to your blood test....what kind of test was that? my dad has heard about a doctor that does a blood test and sends it off to some clinic in the us (i live in canada) and it tells you all the foods you are sensitive to...is that the same test?

Hello;

I'm not sure if either Tums or Rolaids are gluten free, but I do know that both can cause Diarrea! My Doctor Recommends Gaviscon for people with stomach problems :D

The panel I had run only covered 95 items. I could have done a meat panel with mine but didn't because I wasn't eating meat at the time. In hindsight I should have done that as well. It was a blood draw that was sent to a lab. From what I've heard blood draws are more accurate. I didn't even realize I was allergic to anything. If you are trying to nail down some other sensitivities and don't know where to start allergy testing is a good idea. If you want to take the time to do the elimination diet and food journal than that would be another option. As far as it being the same test, it is probably similar. There are just different options as to what you want to have tested. I think they also offered a spices panel which I didn't have done. The lab that the doctor I went to used is US BioTek Laboratories.

Just be aware that allergy/food sensitivity tests are far from 100% acurate. They often give false positives and false negatives. They are only a starting point. To be more definitive, the allergy/sensitivity tests need to be combined with elimination diets where you cut out certain foods for a while and then try reintroducing them to your diet.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

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.
