Best Gluten Free List?


hkeener

Recommended Posts

I have now had my biopsy after positive blood test results so am trying to go gluten free to start to be able to eat more than apple sauce again... I am wondering what the best resource is for listing what "regular foods" (and even hygiene products, etc.) are gluten free and which are not. I would like something to give me a starting list as I learn how to spot the not so obvious sources of gluten. Any suggestions of books, mail order lists, internet downloads, etc. would be great! Thanks!

Hi. My son was diagnosed just 3 months ago. It hasn't been easy, but this site has made life bearable again. I haven't bought any lists yet, but I have bought cookbooks. I bought all of Bette Hagman's cookbooks, and they were okay. Her bean flour breads have a wonderful consistency but a horrible flavor. So we just buy our breads from Kinnickinnick. I've yet to find a good commercial bread mix for the expensive bread mix we invested in. I am very pleased, however, with Annalise Roberts' cookbook. Her recipes are so fantastic that they even appear in Gourmet Magazine. Just made her chocolate chip cookies (which Gourmet Magazine praised highly) and I've gotta tell you, there's no way you can distinguish these from regular Toll House cookies! Good luck!

hkenner-

there are several lists around. one is the delphi forum list, compiled by fellow celiacs. you can view their gluten-free food lists here: Open Original Shared Link i will say i often double check the items on this list myself...but it serves as a good guide. i printed this list off and put in a binder i keep at home.

another list is the clan thompson food list. it is a software you purchase and you install on your computer or palm pilot. it is updated with new products every few months. this list has been well worth it for me, b/c it is on my palm pilot, i have it wherever i go, and it has come in handy MANY times at the grocery store. you can download a demo if you just want to try it first. view it here: Open Original Shared Link

there is also the list that CSA puts out. i honestly never purchased that one, so someone else can speak to that...

:)

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
