Shroomy, I have thought the same thing about that commercial. Even gluten free they look like too much!

For me it is the little frosted mini wheat guys dancing around saying how your kids will think better in school after eating them.

My boyfriend says "Olive Garden" commercials gross him out, and he's not even a Celiac! Guess it's just the general gluttony of the "endless pasta bowls and breadsticks." Translation: "Endless plates of bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation!" LOL!!

This morning Guy Ferredi (?) the cooking guy that wears his sunglasses on the back of his head, was making a pie crust and when he opened the floor, it flew up in his face and he goes, "everytime!" then he spread flour all over the table and rubbed it on the rolling pin.

I had to change the channel. The IHOP commercials, too, that food just doesn't even look good, and the put all that gross stuff on top, it just doesn't look good.

Donuts.

I really got grossed out this past weekend when I went through the Donkun Donuts drive thur with my sister. It was just the drive though and the smell of the "dough" I guess was almost repulsive. And again at work they had a couple of dunut boxes sitting around and it smelled bad to me (really bad)......a good thing I guess.

I can't remember what product the commercial is for, but one that really bugs me is the one where two women are at the laundromat. One woman asks her friend for a quarter and the other asks, aren't they dry yet? The woman who asks for the quarter replies she is trying to shrink them because she lost weight by eating whole grains. The only thing I can thing of when she says that is that she is losing weight because she has celiac and the whole grains are making her sick! I want to jump through the tv and strangle her for poisoning her body. :blink::angry: Anyway I'm always so upset/grossed out by the commercial that I never remember the product, but I'm fairly certain it is a gluteny product.

I know that commerical you're talking about! I don't know why America is so obsessed with dieting. I infuriates me, and I'm not a bit fat. I think every person is supposed to be a certain size. Like Oprah, she's happier and healthier being the size she is, and I don't think she's "fat" at all. Her head looked too big for her body when she lost all that weight. I think, just like the size of our hands or feet, we're supposed to be a certain size.

I just saw this Cymbalta commercial on tv:

"are you depressed?"

"got aches and pains?"

"feel panicky?"

"got no appetite?"

"have trouble sleeping?"

I actually did say to the TV, then quit eating gluten! My sister took that about two years ago and it freaked her entire body out, I want to tell her to quit wating gluten and see what happens, but she's my big sister and thinks she's smarter than me, so I don't say nothin.....Do you all have Rally's Hamburger joints where you live? Seriously, those commercials make me physically sick.

Americans are obsessed with dieting because many American's are fat, but also because the media tells them they should be super-skinny. So we have the problem compounded by people developing eating disorders and more people overeating and getting fat or being anorexic. That's my really simplified analysis anyway. There's also the Standard American Diet (SAD) which consisted of mainly processed "food" and the misinformation about what is "healthy" food (isn't it interesting that food can claim to be heart-healthy and contain HFCS at the same time?). For the record, I AM fat myself and I still struggle with what is healthy, however since going gluten free I have come to the conclusion that many ingredients in processed/gluteny food act just as bad as a drug and make people addicted to the food.

I change the channel or mute it whenever a drug commercial comes on. I can't stand them. I have not seen any Ralley commericals, but Hardee's commercials made me ill even before going gluten-free. The food just always looks greasy and gross to me.

Jack in the Box here. Their food was greasy and gross to start with, and half the time I went there I got sick. I always hated Jack and his big ugly white head. Now I know I can't eat a single thing on their menu because it all has wheat, even the fries, and the commercials totally gross me out.

Burger King commercials! Well, Burger King in general grosses me out. But those commercials where they show the guy dressed up as the king in that weird looking mask scaring the crap out of people..that is the commercial nightmares are made of.

:lol::lol: That cracked me up! I recently lived in Texas and those commercials were on all the time! That head is freaky.

Yeah! The BK king and the pop up clown. Shudder... Could make a horror movie. And the food has never been good, ever.

In our student days I used to live over the back of a Jack-in-the-Box (before they had proper filtration :unsure: ) Could not bear to open my kitchen window for fear of baarfing :P

See, I didn't like that stuph etuff even then.

It's not so much visually repulsive but it assaults my nose. And that's freshly made ice cream cones. They were doing them in one ice cream shop we visited. I got to watch.

The pet store we used to frequent was located next to an ice cream shop and the sickly sweet scent of the cones was constantly wafting in. Luckily the pet store moved to a larger location. We haven't been in yet but it has to be more pleasant!

My curtains are drawn and all I can hear is an eerie rendition of a children's bedtime song. I forget the name but it's very common - not rock a bye baby. The music is moving slowly down the block and around the corner. I know full well it's the icecream truck but all I can think is "Mobile Gluten Roulette Wheel" with creepy horror movie music and the scariest clown ever sticking out of the front. I'd like to hide under the table like I did as a child when there was a bear wandering around in my backyard.

Well, I can honestly say I have never ate at a Jack in the Box, but I love the comercials. Mostly because I found the big white head funny. My favorite commercials are the Christmas ones with all the Jack balls coming from everywhere. For the longest time my husband had his mom get us the Jack balls for the car antenae. Darn, my last one is about to go into file 13. :lol: I don't really have any commercial that grosses me out, but I do find the prepackaged bread isle repulsive. However I still do think the local bakery smells good. :o

I hate the all of the DQ commercials with the annoying talking lips bragging about all that fried food. The worst one is the when he gets showered in gravy. Ugh, makes me want to hurl!

that Burger King dude absolutely scares me to death! I can't STAND that guy.

Seriously, I never went back to Burger King after they started showing that guy.

I don't know who came up with that marketing idea.

I have a new one to add to this list. Denny's has a "Fried Cheese Melt". Just looking at the picture makes me want to run loose my lunch: fried cheese sticks smothered in American cheese, between two pieces of toast and served w/ fries. *urp*

I saw that today in a article about the 5 unhealthiest new restaurant offerings. It has more calories in that one sandwich than I eat in a whole day!!!! Another in that same article was a huge hamburger with 2!!!! grilled cheese sandwiches instead of a bun. Pity to think there may be people seeing that article and rushing to the restaurants to actually order those monstrosities.

I thought that was a commercial for Yoplait Yogurt... :blink: I don't think I saw the one for the whole grains.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
