good idea. of course, every time we post, it bumps it up. :ph34r: Should we ask Scott to shut it down?

To be honest, I AM interested in hearing what Srokie posts about Dr. Saviano and what she has to say.

I'm just surprised that she showed up again. I thought that she said she wasn't coming back, but I must have misunderstood her post.

It would be nice if she mellowed out her presentation a bit. :huh: Some of it might even be interesting about how other people think and live their lives with Celiac.

This is not directed at ANYONE (cross my heart) but one option is to ignore a thread if you don't want to get into anything.

Sure it would be nice if she mellowed out a bit. But for all we know, maybe she is just not a mellow person to start with, and how she was treated here did not help.

Continuing to criticize her is still not helping.

You guys just can't keep baiting someone and then complain when that person explodes.

I only have one real nasty where I am...but that one nasty can influence the mood in the office and when the nasty gets next to my cubby neighbor I often wonder which are the true friends and who pretends, if you know where I am coming from.

On days when that one nasty is not around it is like working in a whole different world, everyone smiles. Sure Nasty smiles too but its FAKE! :)

Isn't it amazing how so many usually nice people can just flock around a leader-type--whether the leader-tyupe is nice or Nasty--and just FOLLOW?

Did you ever see the movie "Heathers?" (At least, I think that's what it was called--with Winona Ryder.)

I hope that somebody who srokie is still talking to has passed along how wrong her friend was about Kimberly-Clark. The friend needs to quit passing wrong info out and srokie can relax about using their toilet paper.

Srokie supposedly isn't reading our messages any more, but she returns to show us up with info about breathing in loose gluten. She claims that we all tell others that you have to eat gluten to get sick. That, of course, is not what WE were saying at all. If she had taken the time to read more posts, she'd know that most of us realize that if you get loose gluten into your breathing passages you can end up swallowing it and can get glutened. This is nothing new or revolutionary.

Everything that srokie's doctor and friend have told her that we've been able to check on has been wrong. We have yet to see proof that any of the rest of it's right.

I'm still hoping to hear from Kraft doubters who have called and grilled them about Planters and Crystal Light. I know some said they were going to inundate Kraft with calls to discover the truth, but I have yet to hear what happened. I haven't called because I have this apparently irrational trust of Kraft.

I have not seen that movie, is it a comedy?

I am glad I made someone laugh today :) Work will be nice, Nasty is off the last two days of the week!! Those are the days I actually enjoy going to work, all in all I enjoy my job.

I personally would like this thread to be shut down. The header and the sub liner indicates that there is flour in toilet paper. That pretence has been disproved, sighting the prevalence in research presented in this thread. Therefore, it is a documented a non- issue regarding Celiac.

It is an unnecessary concern to the new ones that may inquire here, that they have to travel through over 4,000 views and I don't recall the posts, to get to the answers. That is not realistic, nor is it fair to know whether toilet paper is safe to use.

With over 4,000 views, it is obvious that every one wants to watch the controvery. Yeah, good entertainment.

I would like to request that this thead be closed as not to confuse those that will come behind us.

I agree--it is time to kill this thread which is full of misinformation and unproven allegations. It can not bring any benefit to anyone by being allowed to continue. At the risk of self-destruction, I am going to report my own post (this one) to draw the attention of Scott and the moderators to this thread. :ph34r:

Lisa and psawyer, I respectfully disagree with you. If you kill this post, you might as well tell everybody not to pass on any information they have heard until it is published in the Lancet, and that anecdotal evidence is not allowed here. So those who are diagnosed by dietary response would not be allowed, as that is anecdoatl evidence.

Perhaps the title of the thread might be reworded to be a question rather than a strong statement?

And perhaps the Srokie-bashers can just stop reading this thread if they don't like her?

We can talk about other stuff too, like we were after the toliet paper deal calmed down. We were having a lot of fun.

I see no effort here to kill off anecdotal evidence or personal experience. I DO see an effort to ask people not to post something that is easily checkable until you've checked it yourself. Srokie was not offering anecdotal evidence; she was presenting erroneous information and claiming it was correct because somebody told her it was correct.

The KC and Kraft allegations were simple to check. They had nothing to do with anecdotal evidence.

I think it might be time to lock this thread. It would be a waste to completely delete it, but to just lock it would keep others from posting more (mis)info in it, yet keep it accessible for reading/searching.

I'm going to go ahead and post this--I spoke to Faith at Kraft Foods this morning.

I asked about Planter's Nuts, and was told the following: The various products are made in several different facilities. It is their policy to clearly indicate on the labels whether the product contains any gluten grains. *This policy also goes for any gluten grains used in the manufacturing process*.

I also asked about Crystal Light, and was told that the same goes for this product as well as all Kraft products.

They will include a cross contamination warning on the label if applicable.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Sounds to me like Kraft's cross-contamination warnings are much more than CYA statements and should be taken very seriously.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
