I know it's a huge link. It's from news telling us all about dairy products tainted with melamine. Remember when the whole issue about the pet food came out? This is the same chemical that was in the pet food. First they were only talking about baby formula's, now it seems this melamine may be in many, many products that contain milk of some sort, especially the products that have powdered milk in them. They first came out saying we shouldn't eat M&M's, Snickers, and Oreos (like any of us do). I could not understand where Nabisco and Mars were connected...then I found this link.

I had not heard about this one, but this morning I saw a report about a recall of instant flavored coffees and tea. Here is a link to that one:

Wow! I don't eat any dairy at all so it wouldn't affect me, but that's scary stuff!

dd,

That first link has expired. The other two say there have been no tainted foods from China entering the US. I'm wondering if those M&M's and Snickers were produced overseas or here. I hope it's not the latter 'cause I eat Snickers regularly and M&M's occassionally. Are Celiacs not supposed to? Nobody told me, I'm always the last to know. As far as I was aware, there are no wheat ingredients listed on the label. Please correct me otherwise.

best regards, lm

Oreo, Snickers, and M&M's May Contain Melamine?

And, another link from the FDA about melamine:

And here is a quote from the page the above link goes to:

King Car Food Industrial Co. used a non-dairy creamer manufactured by Shandong Duqing Inc., China, which was found to be contaminated with melamine.

That opens up a whole new category of contaminated possibilities. :o:angry:

dd, Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it immensley. It also led me to some other great places.

I ranted on China during the pet food crises, and got a lot of grief and anti-US ramblings in return. I tend to forget that even though this forum is made up of mostly American members, there are also people here from all over the world, even France.

That's why I try to be more tactful now B). Don't go borrowing trouble. That's what my Dad used to tell me. Damn, wished I had listened to him more. :P

best regards, lm

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
