Tapioca is gluten free. I don't have any problems with it. I can't speak for why others may be avoiding it.

Definately no problem with tapioca. I eat daily huge amounts. I don't know who has a problem with tapioca and why.

Tapioca is fine--gluten wise.

I'm one who is intolerant to it--it makes me very sick to my stomach. I avoid it :)

If it weren't for tapioca I'd be having a really hard time. It's one of the most commonly used gluten-free flours that I can handle.

I finally pin pointer what I was feeling sick from still (tapioca flour/starch) and stopped eating things that contained it and felt sooooo much better. It was almost like I was eating gluten but at times worst. The only thing that is bad is that pretty much all gluten free recipies and alot of really good gluten free foods have tapioca in them :(

When you go gluten you start to notice other things that bother you. Sadly tapioca is one of mine.

Do you feel sick when you eat things with tapioca? If not then you are good to go with tapioca foods and recipies :)

Tapioca bothers me- no doubt. No gluten, just a reaction to tapioca.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      You should be fine. You may start feeling better within a few days. Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours. Did you get the NeuroMag or another magnesium supplement?

      Yes Bobs redmill cgf oatmeal I started when I became gluten-free. So taking all 3 with breakfast should work? Will I notice any reactions getting used to these or should I be fine. Thanks

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Hello, @pilber309, welcome to the forum! Are you currently consuming dairy? You mentioned something about lots of yogurt and cheese, but did you cut it out or are you eating lots of it? Could you clarify please? Some people with Celiac react to casein, the protein in dairy the same as to gluten with antibodies and villi damage.

      You may want to skip the oatmeal. I believe you're trialing a gluten free diet while waiting for an appointment with your doctor in the new year and doing a gluten challenge then. Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein in oats called avenin the same as to gluten. Cross contamination between oats and gluten containing grains is possible. ...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

Yes, it will be fine to take them all together.  I take mine all together, B Complex, Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamine with breakfast. If you're really anxious about it, just take the B Complex and Benfotiamine at breakfast and the Thiamax at lunch.  You won't have to take a second B Complex with the Thiamax.
