Pocono Buckwheat- Anyone Tried It?

Hi again.

Has anyone tried Pocono (brand) Kasha buckwheat? It claims it's gluten-free; their web-site claims dedicated lines and all but I'm always nervous about eating a new thing. I'd just like to add another grain besides rice to my diet. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I have the "organic roasted buckwheat groats- cracked granulation".

Thank you!

I eat their buckwheat all the time. My favorite is their cream of buckwheat, it tastes very close to cream of wheat and is pretty high in protein. They are a good company with a great product line.

Ravenwoodglass,

Thank you so much! When I get over this last glutening, I'm going to try it!

If you tummy is still a bit off and you need some comfort food the cereal with some cinnamon can be nourishing and easy to digest, sometimes that's all I can eat after a day spent in the throne room. If all you have is the kasha with the larger grains a couple seconds whir in the blender or a food processer would give you the consistency for the cereal. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, Ravenwoodglass. It's nice to hear a few words of encouragement as I am having my first "sustained" glutening, (meaning I can't seem to get it to stop even as I eliminate any and every suspect thing) in awhile. This is the sixth day of unabating symptoms and even worsening symptoms and I'm really fed up. Sometimes I think it'd be easier just to remove my stupid intestines altogether, but I'll try not to dwell on that. Thank you for your help!

After that length of time unless you are sure you are reglutening yourself you may want to call the doctor and submit some stool samples. It is possible you may have some form of food poisoning. You haven't been eating any of those recalled Pnut butters have you? I managed with a case of salmonella once for almost 3 weeks cause I thought it was my usual stuff just a worse case. Always better to be safe than sorry if you can. Meanwhile you may want to do a modified Brat diet that I call the BRA, bananas, white UNFORTIFIED plain rice and applesauce with no additives or homemade. I really hope you feel better soon.

Ravenwoodglass,

Thank you again. I'm pretty sure this is gluten. I've also had salmonella and it was NO picnic. Unlike many with gluten issues, I get severe bloat with a lot of pain, CONSTIPATION alternating (SOMETIMES) with D, low back pain, much intestinal pain, red, burning eyes and just generally feel like I can't leave the the house 'cause I don't know when I WILL need to run to the bathroom. The pain is also worse at night so sleeping doesn't happen. I'm sure you're delighted to hear all this... as I drone on..... I also am suspicious that my fluctuating hormonal levels are exacerbating symptoms as I'm 49 and things are changing. But, you're right, if I still feel lousy tomorrow I may cave and call my doctor. Sigh...

Thank you so much again,

lisa

I get alot of inflammation and joint, muscle and oddly enough tooth pain when I get glutened so I can really sympathize. The only thing that helps is oddly enough St. Josephs baby asprin. I don't know why such a simple med would do so much, perhaps it acts on the inflammation. I don't know if it would help you but figured I would mention it. I tried it once in desperation and it seems to work for me. It's all I take now. I hope you can figure out what is getting you. It can be a real search sometimes. It took me 2 years to realize that my can opener was getting me.

Ravenwoodglass,

Holy mackerel! Yes, the old CAN opener- YIKES! Thank you- I am going to buy some St. Joseph's tomorrow. You have been very kind. Yes, I'm hoping to get to the bottom of this soon!

Thank you!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
