Oh wow, thank you so much, that was super helpful! Really appreciate it. -
Hi, My insurance recently approved brand name medications for me, which they don't usually cover, but I was having all kinds of problems with gluten in generics, so they made a medical exception. The thing is, I just picked up my brand-name Ambien. It's made by Sanofi, and that's apparently the only manufacturer of brand-name Ambien. Everywhere online...

Fabulous news. I figured out the culprit. As I suspected, it was gluten. There was starch in the mouthwash I started using about a month and a half ago. I discovered it the night before last and didn't use it yesterday. For the first time since I bought it, I slept through the night. Woke up and was down four pants sizes. Four sizes in ONE DAY. It was all...

I know. I wasn’t taking that seriously. I appreciate your input.

Hmm. Yet every single brand you list contains multiple ingredients. Can you name one that includes just the vitamin? I agree with you. I'll eat eggs.
-
Thanks for this. I’m just a little confused, because kitty just told me not to eat eggs but you are saying to eat them. How should I decide what to do?
-
Great, I'll try Cream of Wheat! Thank you! Kitty, first you tell me to cut sweet potatoes. Then you tell me to cut chicken. You realize you've left nothing but berries, right? Yet you recommend that I consume vitamins, which can contain gluten? Are you keeping track of your arguments? Do you see that you're not giving me anything to eat? Do you expect...

My dietician said no vegetable with fiber. She said as look as I take the skin off the sweet potatoes, they're safe. She's considered the foremost expert in my city on Celiac and gastroperesis. I get sick from every oil I've tried. My GI doctor says they probably get contaminated with gluten in the manufacturing/bottling process. So I'm not eating any...
-
No, this is the doctor who figured out that I had celiac and had me get the endoscopy. The problem with only going by the ingredients list is that that can't tell you how it's manufactured. It's in the manufacturing process that contamination can occur.

When it says "gluten-free," could that still mean up to 20ppm like every other manufactured item or is it 100% gluten-free? I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Rice consumption is one of the reasons the Japanese created benfothiamine." Is your point that rice isn't safe? About turkey, the only thing I can find is gluten free organic ground...
-
Do you think rice might be a possibility?
-
I can’t eat grass fed ground beef or any other red meat. I was eating it before and it made my gastroperesis insanely intolerable. My dietician says I can’t have any veggies because my gastroperesis is so severe. I guess I’ll try turkey, although I can’t stand the taste. Like I said, I can’t consume vitamins that say gluten-free because they can have up t...

Thanks to both of you for your assistance. Sabaaryra, it’s comforting to know I’m not alone. I was also diagnosed at age 39. Kitty, I also researched vitamins and if they’re labeled gluten-free they can have up to 20 ppm so it’s either that or the rice powder. I’m definitely going to stop taking vitamins. Is there any way for me to get thiamine naturally...
-
One possibility instead of a different carb would be an additional source of protein. I just desperately need more than chicken and berries to feel satisfied. If I got rid of sweet potatoes and started eating organic free range brown eggs with my chicken and berries, would that be safe?
-
Also, I have gluten reactions to every vitamin I’ve tried. Everything that calls itself gluten-free can still have small amounts or traces of gluten. Every over the counter version has made me sick. I’ve been sick the whole time I’ve been taking the ones from piping rock, though I was sick before then so I don’t know for sure what’s going on with them. I n...
