Non-Celiac Checking On Hellemans Mayo For Friend


Malteaser

Recommended Posts

Malteaser Newbie

I was checking on the internet to find out if Hellmans Mayo is gluten free, for a friend, who I am cooking for.

I arrived at this site. I read a topic - I cant remember who from now - about a lady who said she also had stomach ulcers.

This began to sound familiar, especially when I saw a topic which was talking about bacteria in intestines.

Now please dont think Im being flippant. A few years my dog was extremely ill. His stomach distended and he looked like he was dying. He had bouts of it. The vet couldnt get to the bottom of it. Eventually he sent us to a Consultant Vet, who cost a fortune, but was worth every penny. He diagnosed straight away. He said it was a stomach bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori which is the same bacteria that causes ulcers in human beings. He said he was alarmed to see that our dogs intestines showed as transparent on the x-ray.

Although damage had been done - the good thing was - it was easily cured with a paediatric medicine, taken for two weeks.

You probably know this already, but just in case, it may be worth looking into.

A new bottle or jar would be safe. But if you touched the tip of the bottle to wheat bread or dipped a knife in the jar after it touched wheat bread, it would not be safe.

I can't comment on the rest of the stuff.

hadn't thought of a pet, dogs in particular, as being carries of/for this bacteria. they may well be a cause of infection/reinfection! Just they can be for strep!

Also, many dogs are celiac/gluten intolerant.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
