Publix gluten-free Brochure


cmom

Recommended Posts

cmom Contributor

Recently my DIL's grandmother gave her a Publix gluten-free brochure which is available in their stores. On the page titled "The Gluten Sensitivity Spectrum" , it states under Symptoms of Intolerance "And the good news is, eating gluten, while causing discomfort, will not usually cause damage to your body if you have just an intolerance".

People are reading this and believing it b/c she pointed it out to me since we both believe my son is, at the very least, intolerant. People pretty much infer that means they can eat whatever they want! :angry:

How very frustrating that such misinformation is being given out! It will keep many people sick who believe those lies.

You might want to print out some of the information (not anecdotal from here but from NIH and others) proving their statement is dangerously inaccurate, and send it to their headquarters. Too bad they can't be held accountable for spreading this wrong information. :blink:

I did email customer service but as of yet, I have not received the courtesy of a response. :angry:

I did finally receive a response today. Looks promising. Here it is:

Thank you for your email. We appreciate our customers taking the time to contact us because we care about your comments and value your business.

Our Marketing Department provided the following response to your recent email concern:

Thank you for contacting us about your concern with a statement in our "Gluten Free Guide" brochure that says that eating gluten may cause discomfort but will not usually cause damage to your body if you have just an intolerance. This statement was researched and approved when the brochure was first created; however, because of your concern, our Registered Dietitian is doing further research to see how we might want to better clarify this information.

Thank you for bringing your concern to us. We are investigating and will make any necessary changes in future printings of this brochure.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. If we can be of any further assistance regarding this matter, please either call our Consumer Relations toll-free number at 1-800-242-1227, write us at the Publix Super Markets Corporate Office, PO Box 407, Lakeland, FL 33802, ATTN: Consumer Relations, or contact us at our website, publix.com and mention your reference number, # 524113.

Sincerely,

Leslie Spencer

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as...

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
