So, last night I was shopping at Aldi's, and I'm not sure if this post has already been discussed yet, however I noticed that several of their items, especially the Fit & Active brand, are labelled gluten and lactose free! So exciting that its right there on the label!

I have ALDI near me, I stopped shopping there when I went gluten-free. What type of products?

YOgurt, some dried fruits, a lot of Aldi canned goods now say 'gluten free' on the label. They also have Fit and Active meatballs that appear to be gluten-free, I bought a bag to try. Some lunch meats and all their hummus is labeled gluten-free.

Thanks for the heads up! I went by today and it was great to see all the products! I'm avoiding alot right now, so perhaps in the future I can have some of the products. For now, I took advantage of their low cost produce! I saw that thier ready cooked bacon was labled gluten-free. I didn't see the dried fruits, I'll look for that next time!

Aldi absolutely rocks (I have presented a line of all natural fruit to their buyers in the past). They have great prices and their private label (Fit & Active) is top notch. They run a very tight ship at their headquarters in Batavia, Illinois. So if it says "gluten-free" it is indeed gluten free.

Check out some of their Fit & Active frozen foods. They are all natural (no preservatives or filler) and are great additions to your briefcase if you need a quick and nutritious gluten-free lunch in 5 minutes or less.

Let's give credit where credit is due. In the 80s and 90s, Aldi was seen as a very low scale retailer. Today, they have revamped their stores to the point that other major retailers are quite cautious of them as a competitor.

Stock up at Aldi folks!

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
