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.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Fusilli Pizzeria, Miller Place, NY

      By akebog · Posted

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
