Someone gave me a gluten intolerance group flyer. My son has celiacs, I'm not really sure of the difference.

Anyway, Grits in on their safe list?

Is this true? I just figured bc it was like grains that I should stay away from that and oatmeal, ect.

Can we have grits?? Oatmeal?

(fingers crossed)

Grits are ground corn and, unless you have issues with corn, they are safe for Celiacs.

Oats are a bit different. Due to the high potential of cross contamination in the field and processing, many people with Celiac say away from oats.

You can find some "certified" gluten free oat, that are as free of contaminates as possible.

I don't know what kind of grits you use, but when I called Quaker about a year ago, they did not consider them gluten free due to cross contamination.

Quaker have some specific cross contamination issues with their products. While their products are not safe, I would not generalize about similar products from other manufacturers. As Lisa said, grits would be safe, except for any contamination issues in specific cases.

Sorry, maybe my wording was poor, but I was only referring to Quaker and mentioned it specifically in case that's what Aeman56 was going to use. :) I did not mean for my statement to include all brands of grits.

Does anyone know of a brand that is considered safe? I love grits and Quaker definitely causes me problems.

These grits are stone ground and they are, with out a doubt, best in the world. They are are not instant grits and they take time to cook, but once you've gone here, you'll never go back :P

I cook mine with chicken broth and add havarti cheese or smoked gouda at the end, served with sauteed shrimp. Just don't get any better!!! ;):lol:

I love grits too. Bob's Red Mill came out with gluten-free certified corn grits this summer. If you can' get them locally you can order them through online.

      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...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      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.
