Hi all

i joined the forum yesterday and i am really glad i can talk to others in the same boat.

I was confirmed as celiac on 10/04/11 so im very fresh to the diet i have been very very carefull what i eat and have noticed a change in bloating and stomach pain etc for the better however every now and again i get cramps whether ive eaten or not and bowel movements and type of havnt changed is this normal?

And also does anyone know if maxpax coffee machines have gluten in sorry if thats vage but the vending machine where i work dispenses the powder coffee with whitener and adds water i had one this morning then felt sick and ive had stomach cramps.Is possible that theres a cross contamination there or does the maxpax coffee have gluten?

Thanks for your help and feedback in advance.

Ps sorry one last thing how long before i can see some normality in my bowel habits?

thanks again.

Hi and welcome to the board. What are you typically eating? It is best to go with whole foods at first and be very, very careful if you eat in restaurants. Is your home gluten free? If not have you gotten a new toaster for your gluten-free breads and are you avoiding sharing condiments, butter, nut butters, jelly etc with folks that are eating gluten? Even a small crumb with reactivate the antibodies and make you sick. As to the coffee question, what you may want to do is to get a thermos and bring your own safe coffee with whatever creamer you usually use from home. I don't know if the coffee you mention is safe or the creamer may not agree with you but it sounds like your body doesn't like it.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I was also surprised to learn that Morton Iodized Salt contains: "Salt, Calcium Silicate (an anticaking agent), Dextrose, potassium iodide." Their non-iodized version contains only salt. https://www.mortonsalt.com/home-category/culinary-salts/

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.
