I have heard many say that cutting out dairy helps intestinal healing quicker. Any study facts behind this, or is this just opinion? also does cutting out dairy mean, rice milk too?

The reason people recommend cutting out dairy is because lactase (the enzyme needed to digest lactose, the sugar in cow's milk dairy products) is produced at the tips of your villi. If your tips are damaged due to celiac disease, then you're better off avoiding dairy for a while. This includes things like yogurt, milk, cheese, sour cream, ice cream, etc... Some of these have more lactose than others. So... you might find that hard cheese is OK, but milk makes you gassy and bloated.

Rice milk is a non-dairy beverage, but watch out for Rice Dream. It has tiny amounts of barley.

dang it, thanks so much, rice dream is what I drink, never had a reaction that i'm aware of, but don't want to take any chances either. Any suggestions on other rice milks that taste good?

If you don't react to nuts, you may want to try almond milk. I prefer it to rice milk. Also there's a new coconut milk that is a sub for dairy milk; I forget who makes it, but it's supposed to be delicious. :)

I am confused on the Rice Dream. I have never had a reaction to it and as far as their website goes, it's gluten free.

Yeah... that's what they claim... but you can find a lot of threads on this website about the dangers of Rice Dream. Almond milk is delicious if you can have nuts! "So Delicious" makes the coconut milk that you can just pour and drink... yummy :P It comes in plain and vanilla. They also make non-dairy ice cream that I've heard is very good.

Rice dream doesn't bother me either. The .002 or whatever possible left over Barley enzyme must not be enough to set me off and I react to anything that bothers me. Its a personal decision. I do prefer Almond milk and drink it almost everyday because of taste. I buy the rice dreams eggnog at Christmas (very yummy)

now does the almond milk taste like almond, cause I don't like almonds, but i have seen several posts about how almond milk tastes good? I like anything that tastes closed to regular milk :)

just make sure that you are on a good gluten-free calcium supplement with Vitamin D if you cut out the dairy. don't want bone problems on top of everything else.

Well I dumped my rice dream down the sink, luckily I had back up. I had bought a Trader Joe's version of rice milk vanilla, it was awesome! And it's said to be gluten-free. So if you have a TJ's in your area, I highly recommend it.

Almond milk is awesome, but if you don't like almonds I don't think you will like it. You could always do Hemp milk. Never tried it myself, it doesn't sound right..but I maybe one day I will. Coconut milk too. :D

And honestly, nothing tastes like regular milk, but milk. These rice, almond, hemp, coconut milks are not suppose to be cows milk. I think it's a mental change. But these things taste good and are a good alternative to milk, which might taste yummy still isn't a heathly choice. Just my 2 cents.

Good luck!

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
