    Additional Things to Beware of to Maintain a 100% Gluten-Free Diet

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    • Rice and soy beverages because their production process may utilize barley enzymes.
    • Bad advice from health food store employees (i.e., that spelt and/or kamut is/are safe for celiacs).
    • Cross-contamination between food store bins selling raw flours and grains (usually via the scoops).
    • Wheat-bread crumbs in butter, jams, toaster, counter, etc.
    • Lotions, creams and cosmetics (primarily for those with dermatitis herpetaformis).
    • Toothpaste and mouthwash.
    • Medicines: many contain gluten.
    • Cereals: most contain malt flavoring, or some other non-gluten-free ingredient.
    • Some brands of rice paper.
    • Sauce mixes and sauces (soy sauce, fish sauce, catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.).
    • Ice cream.
    • Packet & canned soups.
    • Dried meals and gravy mixes.
    • Laxatives.
    • Grilled restaurant food - gluten contaminated grill.
    • Fried restaurant foods - gluten contaminated grease.
    • Ground spices - wheat flour is sometimes used to prevent clumping.

    According to the manufacturer's web site all varieties of Rice Dream non-dairy beverages and all varieties of Soy Dream non-dairy beverages are currently GLUTEN-FREE.

    Rice Dream states directly on the packaging that it is 'gluten free.' .

    I called the manufacturer of Rice Dream, and was assured that their (at least the organic variety) rice beverage was completely gluten-free. And as for malt flavoring, check with the manufacturer again, as some malt flavoring is from corn, not barley. It's annoying to have to make calls, but better safe than sorry, and sometimes you get the happy surprise that a seemingly 'unsafe' product is really safe.

    I have been diagnosed with Celiac since 2004 and never thought of the toaster oven as being a gluten carrier. Thank you so much for the tip. It's so hard to maintain a 100% gluten free diet in this high gluten society.

    What a great site, and very helpful information. My daughter who is 14 just got diagnosed last month and I also now have to read all labels and help her make sure that she is following the diet as best as she can. Thanks for the great work......

    Rice Dream irritates my stomach. I use West Soy Rice beverage, plain. It tastes like real milk. Don't forget to shake the rice containers before drinking because of settling.

    Re: Cluppins and Rice Dream irritating stomach. You're tummy may actually be bothered by the thickener used in many alternative 'milks' such as Rice Dream - carrageenan. My doctor brought this to my attention, along with problems attached to sugar substitute Chicolin. Both can cause cramping and stomach upset in general. Both don't bother my husband but they did me.

    Oops. I didn't realize that Rice Dream actually has barley in it. I was diagnosed AFTER I had stopped drinking it. However, my comments still stand for anybody out there regarding Chicolin and Carrageenan. Cheerio.

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Celiac.com 12/10/2000 - As reported in Ann Whelans September/October issue of Gluten-Free Living, the American Dietetic Association (ADA) has released the 6th edition of its Manual of Clinical Dietetics, which offers revised guidelines for the treatment of celiac disease. This manual is currently used by hospitals and doctors all over North America, and represents the most up-to-date source of information with regard to the dietary treatment of various illnesses. The new standards set in this publication conform more closely with current international standards. Included on their safe list are items that have been on Celiac.coms safe list for over five years, including: amaranth, buckwheat, distilled vinegar (no matter what its source), distilled alcoholic beverages (including...

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do....

Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency? I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should g...

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
