Hi :(

This is my first time asking a question,i had a list or i should say pages of what foods i could eat. I have celiac disease have been diagnosed about 2 and a half yrs. ago.I am just still surviving on the little foods i know i can eat.Because my memory is so bad i can't remember the foods i can and can't have.I lost the papers i had to go by.The thing i do remember is i can have margerine but it has to be imperial,i know there are others i can have i think. Does any body know where i can get this information?,it is not in the safe foods list i checked.Or does anybody know what other kinds of margerine and butter i can have.Any idea's on foods would be a great help.I am on disability and really don't have much money,i have no car and their is no close store,so any idea's on how to obtain food and what kind would really help.I was at 121 lbs. went down to 83 lbs. back up to 118 lbs. now am down to 105 and can't get anywhere.I loose weight just thinking about it.My metabolisim is so high it is hard to put weight on and keep it there.So any help on safe foods and the margrine thing would help.I am always stuck when i go to dine out,i know no other margerines or butter.Thank You for any help you's might give me.

The Clan Thompson Smarlist shows the following margarines as gluten-free:

Blue Bonnet Regular (Quarters)

Fleischmans Original and Unsalted Sticks

The above are made by ConAgra

Also:

HyVee Corn Oil Quarters and Vegetable Oil Quarters AND Bowl.

There are others on the list like Denny's Liquid or Whipped

Safeway/Vons/Domicks/Randalls Margerine (all)

McDonald's Margarine

Price Chopper Margarine and Spreads

All pure butters are gluten-free - salted and unsalted.

As ALWAYS: READ THE LABEL BEFORE EATING.

You must be in Canada, because Imperial is only sold there now (according to their website) - and it doesn't have any info on Gluten, that I can find.

Hi Balena! Welcome to the board :)

Here is a list of safe foods and ingredients for you to refer to--

https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-01106126900.90

I don't know if you get this in Canada, but I use Smart Balance Margarine. It is marked gluten free right on the label.

There are many great food products and ideas in the Foods, Products, Shopping and Medicine Forum. Read through that and the Recipe Forum--and feel free to ask any questions you have. Good luck :)

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
