Damn it! Gi doctor told me to start using beano, so I bought some today and popped them without checking the label. Freaking wheat starch! My stomach is so bloated now...it looks like I swallowed a bowling ball :(

Sorry that happened. I read on here a long time ago beano had gluten but I never use it anyway so I didn't worry about it. Seems so silly to put wheat starch in something supposed to combat gas and bloating. I hope your reaction passes soon. Darn it. <_<

Thank you. Luckily I saw my acupuncturist last night and she gave me some herbs to brew as a tea. They taste like dirt but the swelling has gone down by 50%. Another day and hopefully I will no longer look like I'm pregnant. :P

It's easier to just rinse canned beans well, or soak dried ones in boiled water, then drain them and recook, drain again, to get rid of the starch, than to attempt to make a supplement work.

Vitamin Shoppe sells a "Digestive Bean Enzyme" that is gluten-free.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      Then it sounds like the thing you really need to focus more on is being more consistent with the gluten-free diet. Another suggestion I would make is to avoid using a lot of pre-made gluten-free food. Gluten-free facsimile flours are not enriched like their wheat counterpart and are full of empty calories. Focus on naturally gluten free foods that are nutrient and calorie dense. Have you had your vitamin D3 levels checked?
