Who knew about Tropicana juice?!  I had NO IDEA..but it certainly clears up a few bacon/egg breakfasts out that ended in disaster! 

Thank you so much, this one in particular really makes a difference to me.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The Pure Premium with no additives IS gluten free. Everything else is not. So at least Tropicana does have at least 1 thing we can have.

The only juice of theirs that is gluten free is the Pure Premium with no additives.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Tropicana told me that any juice marked with the number 48 on the top is gluten free. I use the Essentials with 1/2 the sugar and calories and it works for me.The number 48 indicates that it is made in a gluten free facility.

They told me if they had 3 certain plant numbers on the top and were with no additives then they were gluten free.

The lady told me anything with natural flavors and other additives should not be considered safe for me. Now, it's possible you were told other things but that is not what I was told. It seems like some of these companies say different things so that really makes me doubt their products.

Is the kind you drink a new line or something? They just told me that plant number with no additives indicated gluten free(Last time I talked to them was like 2 months ago)

Another product to mention is the one I made a mistake with:

Gas-X Chewable Tablets are NOT gluten free!!! I was eating them like candy for my gas before I found out they weren't safe......

Target brand Metamucil sugar free, not gluten-free. But :) For an inexpensive lipstick...wet and wild is gluten-free. I'm not sure yet about their other products, still investigating.

Paul Newman has a line of wheat free cookies, NOT gluten-free. <_< Just because it says wheat free does not mean it's gluten-free.

Also...For those celiacs who are still experiencing stomach pain and digestive problems, please be careful with orange juice even if it is gluten-free. The acid in it is very caustic to a healing intestine. Years ago (in the dark depths of celiac disease without a diagnosis) I was trying to be "healthy" and started drinking a glass of orange juice every day (did this for about 2 years). Tropicana pure premium! During that time I became the sickest I have ever been. All symptoms the worst ever. Thyroid problems at the lowest. 25 pound weight gain even though I didn't eat anything and was constantly throwing up and having chronic dh. <_<:( Someone suggested giving up the OJ. I did, and I felt better within days. No I'm not allergic to citris. :)

Speaking of animals and their food...we have horses. It didn't occure to me that wheat and oats were in thier food until one day I was feeding carrots and got their slobber on me. It was right after feeding them that I noticed some of the feed stuck to my hand in all the slobber. :P Hmmmm...wheat seeds! <_<

I guess we have to be careful everywhere.

Wow!!!,

Thanks for all the great info.

You would think that the marketing dept. of these companies would get wise and make ALL their products gluten-free.

This must be a substantial loss of money to their companies.

Perhaps in time they will become the wiser.

Hi. This is all pretty new to me. I had my first obvious gluten reaction beginning of January - bowel symptoms, severe fatigue and weakness, shooting pains, weight loss, constipation, etc.

I got better after going gluten-free, but I've gotten sick a couple times after that. Plus, I have small lingering symptoms that have come back.

I have suspected my lotion this past week, but I was so busy to look into it until now... One of you guys mentioned it - St. Ives Collagen Elastin lotion. So I guess I'm throwing it out.

You know how it is - when you're cooking, sometimes you lick a finger, etc. I'm sure it gets on my food sometimes when I'm preparing it, especially when I cook right after a shower. I also use cast iron pans, and I rub oil on them after washing them - using my hands, of course. I don't have DH. But with this lotion on my face and hands, I'm sure I've ingested some of it.

It'll be interesting to see if my lingering symptoms clear up after I get rid of this lotion.

You guys might like to look into triclosan too. Do an Internet search on it. It's in antibacterial soap, among other things, and it is shown to cause bad problems with the endocrine system. I imagine some of you folks who have thyroid and/or adrenal issues may especially want to look into this.

Mary, did you used to cook gluten foods in your cast iron? That can also be a source of gluten contamination.

Thanks for asking. No - I actually got the cast iron pans because I read somewhere that some of the non-stick coating in pans has gluten in it. And you know how it is when you use those pans a little while - traces of the non-stick coating come off in the food. So I got the cast iron after I went gluten-free.

Thanks!

Mary

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
