Hello all I am very new to all of this and don't know where to start, first of all how does everyone do it without getting solo paranoid about every thing! I'm about to wear.a hazmat suit wherever I go. Does any one get bothered by salsa? It's my favorite snack and I found one that only had a few ingredients and all were ones I could have also pepper I have had a reaction too as well anybody else had this or is it justme??? Thanks in advance because I truly need the help

I have good luck with salsas, but salsas without pepper???? Now that's difficult!

I advise making your own til you're more comfortable with reading ingredients and brands.

FYI I buy La Victoria, Goldwater brand, and Mi Salsa.

Are you saying you can't have peppers as well?  If so, I would definitely go the route of making your own.  Salsa is one of those things you really just can't mess up, but it may take a lot of tweaking to get what you like.  It also freezes well, if you don't want to mess with canning and want to make big batches.

 

Also, what are you eating the salsa with?  gluten-free tortilla chips are readily available, but not all tortilla chips are gluten-free.

 

Another thing is that, if your stomach and such is already prone to being upset, you may have to lay off the salsa for a little bit until you heal up some more.  As time goes by it will all be easier and you will be more knowledgeable and less freaked out and paranoid :)

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited
