Beano: One More Time

I've been feeling bad lately, including thoughts that I've been glutened. I wondered if it might be the BEANO I've been taking every day, one tablet up to 3X a day, for the past few months. Unfortunately, I didn't check the forums here regarding this product, or read the new listing of wheat on the product's label. These "trace" amounts of wheat could be the culprit. Hopefully, that's the only thing that has been contaminating me. I went for a blood test at my primary doctor last week, before I realized BEANO had wheat, and my Gliadin IgA/IgG blood test results were within an acceptable range - so apparently it isn't a major problem.

Hi. I am sorry you feel bad.

I used the Beano product for a while and it didn't help me at all, infact I had more gasses and bloating than before. If the product contains wheat? I now know why it didn't help me.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care and best reagrds to you.

Thank you for the responses and information.

I've had increasing neurological problems, fatigue, bad dreams, brain fog and some digestive trouble for a few weeks - roughly a month to six weeks after I started using BEANO on a regular basis. Since my diet is so carefully gluten free, I am relatively sure that it's the enzyme. I stopped taking it earlier today, and seem to feel better already - but that may just be psychological at this time. There should be noticeable improvement over the next few days, if in fact it was the BEANO

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
