Enzymes With Foods...what To Use?

So I've been gluten free for almost two weeks, and I'm not sure that "feeling better" would cover it. But I'm determined to give this a full trial. I read that you should take digestive enzymes when eating, especially if you have a damaged gut. I've always taken lactaid and beano, and while they used to help, I am still having issues with gas (the SBD, very unpleasant kind). I limit my lactose intake to almost nothing - here and there something crops up, but for the most part, it's a nonissue. And I avoid all wheat products of any kind. Does anyone have any suggestions of digestive enzyme which help to cut down on gas?

Stop the Beano, for sure. It is not gluten-free. Get a good broad enzyme with bromelain, lipase, pancreatic, lactase and gluta something. just make sure it is gluten-free :D

Are there any specific brands of supplement that offer all of those, or do you have to buy each separately?

I take NOW brand Super Enzymes. It has Betaine, Pancreatin, Papain, Cellulase, Ox Bile, Pepsin, Bromelain, and Papaya powder.

It has none of the following: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, preservatives.

I don't like all of NOW's vitamins, but these weren't too bad price wise ($10).

If you shop on-line, I'm very satisfied with www.Lame Advertisement.com, lots of choices, user reviews, etc.

Maybe try some DPP-4 also. It might help a little.

I use Solgar vegetarian digestive enzymes. Not that I am vegetarian, but I just like the brand. I also take the Solgar cal mag D pills. Gluten free Mall has Pioneer brand gluten-free vitamins.

Remember it is not just wheat, but also rye and barley that we need to avoid. Also oats affect quite a few of us.

I particularly like BRONSON vitamins and minerals products. They are frequently found in medical school supply stores [where medical and dental students buy their supplies on campus], Whole Foods and like places, besides credible pharmacies. I have been taking their Therapeudic Formula and Super B's for many years. Take a look at their formula called "GLUTEN FREE" and see what you think, it's relatively new and I have just recently ordered it. I plan to take it on those rare occasions when I accidentely get glutened.

I have them mail-ordered to me from this site: Open Original Shared Link

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
