I have to make a comment on Nathan's Hot Dogs. They have wheat gluten as an ingredient, as well as corn gluten. I didn't read the label, thinking they were OK, and got glutenized. Took me months to get my system calmed down again!

rhart - at least some of their hot dogs are gluten free but maybe not all???

Nathan's hot dogs have been GF for at least a year now, but you should always look for the GF on the label. They probably aren't casein/dairy free. When in doubt, I only eat Applegate Farms hotdogs, although I have found many hot dog brands I can eat now.

Rhart,

FWIW, corn gluten is irrelevant except for a few people who are sensitive to zein, (the primary protein in corn). The only gluten that most of us are sensitive to is found in wheat (gliadins and glutenins), barley (hordein and hordeinin), rye, (secalin), and oats (avenin). The gluten content of other grains is normally not a problem for celiacs, nor for most people with MC, though there are a few unlucky individuals who are exceptions, of course.

I looked up Nathan's again right before I posted this. And they still had gluten in them. At least, here in Ohio, they do! And, yes, I know corn gluten is a different animal from gliadin. When I read the ingredients, they had the two "glutens" grouped together on the ingredient label.

It sounds as though they don't understand the gluten issue. That would be enough to scare me away.

Thank you so much. Michigan has Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, and they are our GO TO stores. We also have a fabulous local store called Arbor Farms. So your suggestions are very helpful.

This was a great list and will prove so helpful to me. Have something to share that was just sent to me by my daughter and this List is called:
BRAT
Bananas
Rice
Apple Sauce
Toast

It is supposed to be a start to healing.

My experience has shown that the BRAT diet isn't a good long term helper. I do the BRAT for a couple of days, but after that, I get some low residue protein: chicken or fish, and have a generally soft diet. I'm taking DELZICOL morning and night, and that helps calm the lining of the gut as well.

Coffee in the am is one of life's pleasures, but caffene,milk and sugar need to be avoided. A..is this correct?

Post by **tex** » Mon Oct 09, 2017 8:32 am

Caffeine may or may not be a problem, but cow's milk definitely needs to be avoided and sugar should be limited.

I have two cups every morning, with a couple of sugar cubes.
