  • I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and I need to know if any of these ingredients may contain gluten. The packaging does not indicate that this is a gluten free product but this is the Target brand and the details in the packaging seem minimal. Here are the ingredients. 

     

    Protein Blend (Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate [Which Contains Beta-Lactoglobulin, Alpha-Lactalbumin, and Glycomacropeptides], Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate), Maltodextrin, Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Cellulose Gum, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Dicalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose.

    It also "Contains milk and soy ingredients." 

  • Please let me know if this is a safe food or not. I have already tried gluten free Protein but I ran out and this is all I have.

I don't see any gluten. Sounds like some protein powder we have. I don't like it but have had some and was fine.

This is excellent news as I can't afford any more this week with the cost of gluten free foods! Are you absolutely sure this will not delay my healing or infect me with more gluten ingredients

Now what about the Maltodextrin... This seems like the 'malt' could contain wheat.

"Malt" or " malted" means barley. Maltodextrin has nothing to do with barley or wheat in the US.

I put a few things back on the shelf today because they had Maltodextrin because I wasn't sure if that was a malt flavoring or something...good to know it's ok!!

I had some, and immediately, indigestion. Had to go to the bathroom. But then felt ok. I haven't had any gluten in 2 weeks. Are you absolutely SURE that this product does not contain gluten (I am in the U.S...)

Maltodextrin is not made from gluten in the US..  The ingredients Autumn listed do not contain gluten.  

 

Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, this starch is usually Open Original Shared Link; in Europe, it is commonlyOpen Original Shared Link. Wheat-derived maltodextrin may cause concern for individuals suffering from Open Original Shared Link intolerance. If wheat is used to make maltodextrin, it will appear on the label.

 

Open Original Shared Link

If it bothers you, don't eat it - even if its gluten-free.

There are no gluten ingredients listed, but if you want to be absolutely sure the product is manufactured in a place free from cross contamination, you will need to contact the manufacturer.  

 

 

As Karen said, if anything bothers you, don't eat it.  It doesn't mean there is gluten in it, just some people cannot tolerate certain things, especially with a healing gut.

If you are having a problem with dairy, the isolate is usually ok. Sucralose personally bothers me if I have too much. If it bothers you then it's not because it's dstroying your insides with gluten. Which is always good to know. I have there is absolutely no such thing as "normal", everyone reacts differently to things.

This product contains both dairy and soy. Some of us can have problems with one or both of these until we have healed. If the product bothers your system whether it is gluten free or not it is a good idea to drop it for a bit.  Do make sure you tolerate whatever you mixed it with or put it on also. In the beginning it can be helpful to keep a food and symptom log. It can help pinpoint items you don't tolerate. Do keep in mind that some reactions can be delayed so what you are looking for is a pattern.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
