Hi everyone

New to the forum but looking to learn fast!

Can you suggest 1 or 2 foods that make you feel great!

Am I right i thinking Marmite is a godsend for Celiacs?

If so drinking Marmite must be a super food!

I can't recommend one specific food to help you feel good. What I can suggest is eliminating foods that make you feel bad (there's more than just gluten that's a problem for me) and eat as much fresh, unprocessed foods as possible, preferrably organic when feasible/available. I don't necessarily believe in "super foods" as I think all natural foods supply vital nutrients. I think it's more important to focus on what not to eat (processed, high-sugar food).

From what I can gather Marmite is made from brewers yeast and is not safe for celiacs. Am I right??

I like fresh or steamed fruits and veggies. Those tend to agree with the most people here, and they're definitely a healthy way to go if you can't think of what else to do. For protein add tofu (if soy is OK) or beans or meats (chicken breasts are easy to find and use). For flavor try a curry or even just salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Rice tends to be easy on the stomach for most of us, so that's a safe way to go if you're not sure what to do for a carb. Brown rice is better for you than white, and there are lots of other grains (quinoa, amaranth, etc) that you can try as you go.

It seems to me I've seen this brought up before. I don't see Brewer's yeast on the list, but I did see wheatgerm. I don't think it's something I would want to try!

Yeast that you use for making bread rise is gluten-free. Brewer's yeast is something different -- I think it's like "dead" yeast and has barley in it, or is processed with barley.

edited to add that if Marmite is a "godsend for celiacs" then I'm in big trouble. I tried it once and was :o:blink::o:blink::ph34r: :ph34r:

I also don't believe in "Superfoods"-- that's all marketing. There's no reason to select blueberries over apples as long as you get a variety of produce into your mouth, daily. Lots of colors. Lean meats/poultry, fatty fish, good fats (avocado, olives, nuts/seeds, fish, flaxseed), eggs/dairy only if you tolerate them.

A handy rule of thumb is to eat 10+ plants per day. So, think almonds, apple and raisins with breakfast; carrots, spinach, avocado, and red pepper with lunch; broccoli, potato, and blueberries with supper. Orange, green, red, blue...

When you're first healing, it may be helpful to lean more toward cooked foods as they are generally easier to digest for people. If I had to pick one food people should eat more of, though, it would be kale or chinese broccoli.

No, Marmite is gluten-free. It is a Unilever product and, as such, will clearly disclose any source of gluten in the ingredient list. The ingredients on the site linked to are:

Yeast Extract

Salt

Vegetable Extract

Vitamin: Niacin

Spices

Vitamins: B1, B2, Folic Acid, B12

none of which are listed as gluten grain sourced.

If so drinking Marmite must be a super food!

If you can tolerate fruit:

Young Coconut (Thai Coconuts) make me feel like a million bucks. I will make a smoothie out them or drink them straight. Add a half a mango and a half a banana, all the meat to the coconut (no a reg brown coconut doesn't have the same effect) and all the liquid - blend and enjoy!

Also try this one: fresh pineapple combined with fresh papaya, a 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper, and some lime juice with some agave sweetener to smooth it out. These fruits have enzymes that aid in digestion and make my stomach feel good again....

Also I enjoy adding Spirulina (sp?) to everything I can. I really get a nice energy boost from it.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
