Now Foods Supplements Clearly Labeled gluten-free, Wf, Sf, Df, Yf, Etc.

NOW foods makes a pretty inexpensive line of supplements that are allergen free... I found out by accident... I started getting a UTI but didn't want to go on antibiotics and after some googling I found out about D-Mannose powder (naturally occuring sugar in cranberries, blueberries, etc.) so I ordered NOW foods version from Lame Advertisement.com... anyway... I noticed the allergen free blurb on the website label and decided to check out their other products... and they mostly all appear to have that statement... So after being supplement free for a couple of months (out of fear of glutening)... it seems I've finally found some products that will be good for me without causing reactions... currently I am on:

Isotonix OPC-3 (antioxidant... mentioned in my other post)

NOW foods Cal-Mag (Stress multi that includes calcium, magnesium, vitamin c and the b vitamins)

NOW foods Odorless Garlic

NOW foods GR8-Dophilus (Probiotic)

Does this sound like a good mix guys/gals?

I can't comment on the specific products but I take NOW supplements and I haven't had any problems. Also, I used to take D-Mannose years ago when I would get UTIs and it really helped. I really do like the NOW products.

I get the NOW products at my local health food store but if you don't have one near you they do sell over the internet. Here is a link to their home page-

I would like to buy their Vitamin C. I almost went ahead and did it. Just happened to notice they make "Gluten Flour"?! So I call and it's a shared facility and they justify labelling as "gluten free" because it doesn't naturally have gluten in it... which is not the real question... So it's a few years later and I have to ask the same thing all over again: Does anyone react/not react with Now Foods?

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
