Glucose From Wheat

We avoided anything with glucose made from wheat as a precaution but recently a Dietician told me that the process of extracting the glucose ensures there is no gluten present.  Is that what you guys have heard?

In the US, you don't find this very often.  It is considered to be highly processed and tests gluten free.

 

Personally - if I see the word " wheat" on a product, I just skip it.  Its safe, but I have seen that dirty word....   Psychosomatic probably.   :blink:    But, like I said, I haven't seen glucose made from wheat more than once or twice in the US.

There is a company that samples chocolate at Costco with "maltitol (wheat)" on the label but it is also still labeled as gluten free. I've looked up lots on it (it's the only wheat based sweetener I've ever encountered) and was happy with what I read and have quite happily enjoyed a piece of chocolate every time I see them there. Never had a problem with it. I think if I encountered a similar product with "glucose (wheat)" on the label I'd also happily enjoy it since it shouldn't cause any problems. I also sometimes buy vodka made from wheat if I just need a bargain bottle for something. I don't let the word scare me off of products if the science is behind it being gluten free.

Good timing of this question. I was going to ask the same thing. Tonight I was looking at "After Eight" chocolates. The label says glucose syrup which wouldn't flag anything for me. However, the Japanese label (I live in Japan) translates it as "mizuame" which is a sweetener BUT they say what it was derived from and it says wheat. I put them back. Then I came back to Google this and various sites said glucose syrup is so processed there is no gluten even if it was originally derived from wheat.......

Glucose from wheat is safe, but I usually steer clear anyways.  The word DOES freak me out.  LOL  Besides, I've only every encountered it in candy and I should steer clear of that anyways.  ;)

Outside the US and heavily US influenced countries ALL glucose is made from wheat.

 

It's not the greatest stuff in the world, being a refined sugar but I'd take it 1000x before I took the same thing made from Corn. It's very common stuff and yes it has no gluten. But it's made from a grain and it's sugar, I wouldn't eat it if you wanted to remain healthy long term.

It just amazes me that these things are slowly making their way back into a Celiac's diet. When I was diagnosed nearly 2 decades ago, anything derived from wheat was considered unsafe. Celiac can kill when we eat anything with even trace amounts of gluten. I nearly died from it. There is no real reason to eat such things and risk ruining our health. I sure don't want to get back on the

Sunny.....if you choose not to eat something because you think it contains gluten, that is your choice. The reason things are different than it was 20 years ago is because education and knowledge and testing protocols are much better. Glucose from wheat is safe for Celiac's and the testing proves it. Same with tocopherols used in many products....safe, safe, safe! This is not the same thing as eating a donut.

I am every bit as sensitive as you are, nearly died from this disease also and that is no exaggeration. Yet, on occasion, I have trailed this product and never ever once had any exacerbation of symptoms. I do not eat this often at all because it does not appear in the foods I regularly eat but it definitely will not kill any Celiac if they ingest it from time to time. While Celiac Disease can kill some people, the vast majority of people diagnosed are far from dying so let's not be overly dramatic about it. I am fully healed and that never would have happened if I were ingesting gluten that would spark an AI reaction. Common sense and science people!!!!!!!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
