Products/ingredients - Need To Purge!

I'm writing this to ask the Board folks to consider removing old, incorrect posts regarding ingredients for products. Whenever I search the Boards, I often get posts from 5 years ago which are totally out of date. I'm worried that the new celiacs searching the site may be incorrectly informed and end up glutening themselves. My suggestion would be to delete posts before 2006, when the new FDA allergen labelling law went into effect. Could this be done? I"m specifically referring to the Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications and the Gluten-Free Ingredients & Food Labeling Issues boards. Any thoughts?

I understand your concern, but simply deleting all posts before a certain date is not the proper way to handle the situation--we'd be deleting tons of helpful and important information, along with a very small amount of outdated (and possibly inaccurate info) if we did that. I believe it is fairly well understood that you can't take everything you read on a message board as 100% accurate, and that information also gets outdated. The dates for all posts are on each post, so hopefully our members understand that if they are reading a post that is 3 years old about the ingredients of a product the information may be outdated.

I believe the best way to handle this situation is for our members to let us know if there is any inaccurate or misleading information by using the "Report" button on the particular post. Simply report any incorrect information and well take care of it.

Take care,

Scott

Thanks, Scott, I didn't know about that one! As I'm scanning things, I"ll try to 'report' inaccurate items as i see them.

Another idea I"d mentioned a looong time ago would be a way to sort search results by date; that way you can choose the most recent/current information when you do a search.

I"d like to thank you very much for this site and this board!! It's been a lifesaver in many ways.

If you click on Search (on the celiac.com 'toolbar' so to speak....in between 'members' and 'help'), then 'more search options', you can select "older or newer".

Hope this helps.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
