Cold Cuts?

I felt great the first 10 days I was on my gluten-free diet but then starting feeling badly again. I'm starting to think it's not a gluten-intolerance but figured I'd ask this question. I don't understand what caused it the only thing I can think of is cold cuts that I eat about once a week. I know that these sometimes have gluten in them but does anyone know the true likelihood? Thanks!

What brand of cold cuts are you eating. Are they deli sliced? Deli slicked meats are a risk for cross contamination.

Yes- directly from the deli.

Why don't you try some safe cold cuts, such as Hillshire Farms. They have a wide variety and I believe all are gluten free.

All Boar Head meats and cheeses are also gluten free.

In addition to the great advice of others what are you putting on the cold cuts? Are you eating cheese or using condiments? Many of us have trouble with dairy at least at first and if you are still healing things like mustard and such can be a bit hard on the tummy. Also make sure you are using gluten-free toiletries and such, as we cut the massive gluten intake out of our diet many forget to cut it out of things like shampoos and such. I hope you get some relief soon.

Oscar Mayer (a Kraft foods global company) should list any gluten if used. As a write I am eating Oscar Mayer smoked turkey breast lunch meat and it has no gluten ingredients.

I must admit I have overlooked soap, shampoo, hand lotion, and facial cream. Is there a good comprehensive list anywhere of "safe" products to use?

Your best bet is to go into the products section of the board. It is a common question. There are many that are safe but a great deal of products aren't. The main things to watch out for are wheat germ oil, Vitamin E which can be derived from wheat germ oil, the vehicles for scents and oats. Some companies will only use the latin terms though and rather than learn them all I just call the company with any new product.

Garneir Nurtitioneste has a new skin line that has a lot of gluten-free stuff. Dove is a company that will list wheat and oats clearly as will Suave. Unilever products will list clearly also from what I understand. There are of course others.

Oh and a couple things that took me a long time to have a 'duh' moment with, don't share your can opener with gluten eaters or pet foods and watch out for hidden gluten in things like drywall, mud and remodeling and craft supplies.

It can seem overwhelming at first but it does get easier.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!
