My First Donut In More Than Five Years!

I went to a new grocery store in my area because I heard they carried baked goods by Celiac Specialties. I bought their donuts doubting they'd actually be any good. It was so weird biting into one and tasting that long gone, but not forgotten donut taste. They are really good, but almost too rich for me now after going without them for so long. I used to really miss pizza too when I went gluten-free, but now if I ate a piece I think all I'd taste is the gooey (gluey) dough and the grease. It's great that the food industry is getting so good at making us treats, on the other hand I'm afraid my waistline may start expanding in leaps and bounds if I discover too many yummy gluten-free carbs!

The brand name would be awesome. I love donuts and have tried making my own and even tried kinniniki but they just dont do the trick.

On Halloween last year we strung Kinninick cinnamon donuts (gluten-free of course) from our celing fan and had a "biting for donuts" (versus boobing for apples) challenge. It was a) FUNNY! B) YUMMY!

The Kinninick donuts are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had some Kinnickkinick donuts recently. The first in a long time. I have never had a donut feel the way it felt in my body as long as I can remember. I still can't get over it. I don't know if it's just the gluten or something else as well. For some reason the difference is even more noticable than with things like bread. I know I've had problems with gluten for 8 years but who knows maybe it's been longer. It makes me wonder. They were a little too sweet but there was some other ingredient in the frosting that was creamy and good! I'm not complaining!

      Schar's products contain wheat!

      I have enjoyed Schar's gluten free products for years. However, some items Do contain Wheat and are not clearly labeled on the front. Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time. This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it. Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down. Thiamine Hydrochloride is great. Benfotiamine is wonderful, too. Retaining...

      @Known1, Search for "niacin flush fades the longer you use it" and "Niacin flush worse if deficient". It takes a couple to three weeks for the body to adjust and you're at that point now, so things should improve. Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light. If not absorbed, excreted. Absorption of riboflavin will improve...

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on.

Indeed the package states 'gluten free' on the front, and it is not until you read the ingredient label that one see's wheat as the first ingredient. Some celiacs may be willing to take a chance on this 'gluten free wheat', but not me. I strongly feel that the labeling for these wheat containing products should be clearly labeled on the front, with prehaps a different color and not using the 'no gluten symbol on the front. The products are not inexpensive, and also dangerous for my health!

      Thiamine Mononitrate is "shelf stable" and won't break down easily when exposed to heat, light and over time.  This makes it very hard for the body to absorb and utilize it.  Only thirty percent is absorbed, less is utilized because it takes additional thiamine to break it down.   Thiamine Hydrochloride is great.  Benfotiamine is wonderful, too.   Retaining water, edema, is a symptom of low thiamine.  I'd bloat up like a puffer fish.   The ingrown toenail problems I had that I attribute to Niacin deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency.  My toenails curled in and grew thick and yellow, thickened heels.  It was awful.   So glad you're going to give thiamine hydrochloride a try!   Let me know how it goes.  You may feel worse before you feel better, the thiamine paradox, but it does clear up.  It's like a car back firing if it hasn't been run for a while.   Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

Riboflavin makes the neon color, which glows under black light.  If not absorbed, excreted.  Absorption of riboflavin will improve as the body starts healing the intestinal lining and villi grow back.   You could skip the multivitamin instead.

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are measured from the beginning of a meal in these official numbers. In regards to the thiamin supplement I have: it says it is thiamine mononitrate. I had not until now been aware there were different types (it seems I find that is the case with everything, including the magnesium I take!) and this one I have is the only one available in my local stores. I know it makes my pee smell strong when I take it which would seem to indicate my body is absorbing enough that the remainder gets ejected, but I could be wrong. Of course, I'm willing to try anything reasonable to correct this long standing condition, whatever it might be so I will try and get thiamin hydrochloride. Back on the note of diabetes (potentially) I haven't had the blood test for a while and I did notice ingrown toenail type infections a few times in the last 3 years that kept coming back. I heard that diabetes caused high urination. But eating sugar and elevated blood sugar causes the opposite in me. If I eat a lot of sugar I retain water, like big time. If I ate a bunch o sugar in the afternoon say, I can produce little enough urine that I can go over 12 hours and have nowhere near enough urine to need to void in that time or longer which seems abnormal.
