Beano: One More Time

I've been feeling bad lately, including thoughts that I've been glutened. I wondered if it might be the BEANO I've been taking every day, one tablet up to 3X a day, for the past few months. Unfortunately, I didn't check the forums here regarding this product, or read the new listing of wheat on the product's label. These "trace" amounts of wheat could be the culprit. Hopefully, that's the only thing that has been contaminating me. I went for a blood test at my primary doctor last week, before I realized BEANO had wheat, and my Gliadin IgA/IgG blood test results were within an acceptable range - so apparently it isn't a major problem.

Hi. I am sorry you feel bad.

I used the Beano product for a while and it didn't help me at all, infact I had more gasses and bloating than before. If the product contains wheat? I now know why it didn't help me.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care and best reagrds to you.

Thank you for the responses and information.

I've had increasing neurological problems, fatigue, bad dreams, brain fog and some digestive trouble for a few weeks - roughly a month to six weeks after I started using BEANO on a regular basis. Since my diet is so carefully gluten free, I am relatively sure that it's the enzyme. I stopped taking it earlier today, and seem to feel better already - but that may just be psychological at this time. There should be noticeable improvement over the next few days, if in fact it was the BEANO

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
