Scientifically, "gluten" is a term for the plant protein in all grains. So, yes, there is technically corn gluten, rice gluten, etc. But those glutens are structurally (chemically) very different from wheat, barley, rye, and oat gluten, and do not cause the autoimmune reaction in celiacs that wheat, rye, barley, and oat glutens cause.

The protein part of various foods (not only plant foods) are called 'lectins'. And it is possible to be intolerant to lectins in general, which will include gluten (I have that problem).

The type of gluten not allowed for Celiacs is found in:

Wheat

Spelt

Kamut

Barley

Rye

Oats are controversial because there are two possiblilities: 1) a celiac person is reacting to the protiens in the oats, or 2) the oats are contaminated with wheat. I will not risk eating Quacker Oats, but do occasionally eat McCanns and BobsRedMill (the regular, not the special gluten-free ones) and do not have a reaction. There are now several companies that make Gluten Free oats, meaning they are totally free of wheat contamination.

Good Luck,

Pam

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
