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

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
