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.

      same! how amazing you have a friend who has celiac disease. i find myself wishing i had someone to talk about it with other than my partner (who has been so supportive regardless)

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.
