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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug?

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
