I have some questions that I can't seem to find a definate answer to: Does the ingredient Malt Dastase (found in my digestive enzymes) contain malt or is it just the name? Is it the same as Maltase? The other question is: Do I need to replace my nonstick pans? They are not Teflon brand but have some cut marks. My dishwasher has a sanitizing cycle that I always use. Could gluten still be lurking? Same for plastic collander and storage dishes (such as Glad brand). Thanks so much in advance.

Good questions, though I can't help you...I have no idea. I was wondering the same thing about the pans and gladware. I hope someone has some ideas.

Hey guys,

I am fairly new to the whole celiac disease thing, but I posed the same questions to my daughters dr...

Yes, go ahead and replace the pans, safer that way.

As far at Malt Daltase goes....I checked the forbidden list from celiac.com and it wasn't on there...but I'll look it up again somewhere else...

Ok, a little research later...here's the scoop.

Malt Diastase is the same thing as Maltase...which is derived from ...BARLEY!!

IT is not gluten-free!!

Maltase is the digestive enzyme which breaks down maltose, a sugar. Maltase is not plant based, and is absolutely gluten free. Diastase is a more general term for a large group of enzymes including maltase, but also others which may in certain cases be grain based. "Malt diastase" is not a term I am familiar with, but I suspect it could very well be derived from barley. Maltose, the sugar, is also gluten free.

I asked this question awhile back and it was determined that malt diastase is in fact gluten free.

Here is that thread:

Thank you all so much for all of the helpful info. I'll be replacing those pans and have already purchased another digestive enzyme that is definately gluten-free :) --Patti

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
