I don't smoke anymore but need to in a production I am in. Any supersensitives able to comment on whether or not it's okay to put a cigarette in my mouth (??!!!!! Duh... glutenwise, I mean)? I'm actually not lighting it onstage.

Or what brands would be gluten safe?

Thank you for any help,

lisa

I don't know the answer but I wanted to make a suggestion. Have you ever seen those electric cigarettes? They are a little plastic cigarette that looks just like a cigarette and releases a little vapor too. It's for people that are trying to quit smoking and it does release a little nicotine into your system, but it would look realistic and be better for you (and the audience) than a real one. If you do a search for "E-cigarette" you should be able to find a place that sells them.

ETA: Oops I just realized that your said you wouldn't be lighting it on stage. Nevermind.

Natural American Spirit is gluten free, it has only tobacco and is the brand I smoke. :ph34r: I believe Winston is also but not sure. If your just holding it and not smoking it I wouldn't worry about which one you use. You could always 'fake' taking a drag unless they want you to hold it in your mouth hanging out the side for the show.

What play are you doing?

Hey, thank you both! Yes, I am familiar with the vapor cigs but the director's vision is that no cigs will be lit, very minimalist production stylistically, however, I will be "dragging" and hanging it out of my mouth so I do need a cig I can hang off my lip without being paranoid of gluten. (already suffering a glutening from another actor's body lotion- sigh- cast is being awesome about this, though, changing everything and very understanding)

Ravenwoodglass, we're doing the Pulitzer prize-winning AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY by Tracy Letts and I'm playing Violet. Devastating and biting look at the myth of the American family and funny as hell to boot. Very honored to be one of three regional U.S. companies with initial release rights!

Thank you for your replies!

That sounds like so much fun although I am sure it is a lot of work. Congrats on getting the part.

Thanks, Ravenwood, and, yes, it's a job- but a good one! I'll stick with American Spirit.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
