I have been having trouble the last couple of days. Feeling lousy, depressed, D. I couldn't figure out what had been causing it because I hadn't changed anything I was eating (or so I thought). Then I remembered that I had started eating the candy that my aunt sent me for Christmas (I checked and it did not have any gluten ingredients.) Ugh. I don't know if it is something else in the candy, or if it has CC, but I'm pretty sure that is what is causing me problems. Well I guess I will have to give it away to friends. Too bad. :(

Funny you posted this just now because I've been thinking the same thing! My family always visits my parents after Christmas and my dad always has several boxes of different kinds of candy. I check the ingredients and didn't see anything suspect, but it has to be the reason I've been feeling bad. I know it can't be anything else because I've eaten only at home with things I've cooked myself.

Well...I guess the silver lining is that I can't eat all that candy! lol..

(shhh....don't tell anyone I have two Snickers bars stashed in my dresser)

> Hey, just wondering if she made the candy or bought it. You can always have cross contamination. Also check the beauty products you use (shampoo, conditioner..) because believe it or not they too will have wheat in them.

Good luck!

She bought the candy. There could definitely be CC in the production process. It just makes me sad. I should have followed my first instinct and given them to my brother (who also got the same present). LOL

I know my beauty products don't have any gluten, and I haven't changed those in a long time anyway.

I does keep me from eating all the sugar.

I had an incident with chocolates. I forgot that vanilla could have gluten and wound up with repeated glutenings. I never checked if that product was or was not gluten free, or if I got cross contaminated somewhere else, but I skip that brand of chocolate now.

Doesn't it just! I got glutened the other day, and the only thing I can think it could be was the chocolates I had. My coworker showed me the ingredients first and they looked fine, but I didn't eat a single other suspect thing all day and with my office mate away, it wasn't even as if there were other crumbs etc around.

Or maybe it wasn't a glutening and I just don't tolerate dark chocolate so well. Either way, I'm not having any more!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By MagsM · Posted

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.

      Not all of King Arthur’s gluten free flours and baking mixes are certified gluten free. This bread flour is not.

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!
