I received an email from the slimfast company promoting this. It sounds great, It also could explain why optifast gives me terrible pains. I thought it was gluten free but every time I drank one, I would get sick. I gave the rest away. I haven't seen the "easy to digest" available near me yet but I'm hoping it will be here soon.

No, but I wouldn't drink that stuff. It's high in simple sugars and low in protein... pretty much the opposite of what we should be eating. If you can have whey, Designer Whey Chocolate is gluten-free and really good - no sugar, very low fat and high protein... and it tastes awesome.

No, I haven't. I am waiting for the skinny fairy to come by at night and make me thin.

I do realize that but on days when my ra is really bad, my jaw swells up and I have to drink liquids. If the designer whey comes ready made I could handle that but on bad days, I can't use my hands much. Does it come in cans or bottles?

Rusla, I've been waiting for the skinny fairy for a few decades now...she still hasn't shown up!

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you weren't drinking it for nutritional reasons, but as a convenience issue. I'm not sure if it comes in cans or bottles, but I know it comes in ready-to-drink packets where you just add the packet to a bottle, add water/milk, and shake it up. Not sure if that would help your RA much.

Sorry that your RA is so bad you have to drink liquids!!! : (

Give her my address when she visits you!

I use Slimfast for convenience, when I am too stiff, too sick, or in too much of a hurry to make a meal. I haven't seen the new one yet, but I will be looking for it.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
