Gluten challenge food list for low carb/keto


LondonJules1

Recommended Posts

LondonJules1 Newbie

I have to do a gluten challenge before getting tested for celiac disease.  This will require me to eat about 10g of gluten every day for the next four weeks.  I have been very successful at keto (max 20g carbs per day) for the last 15 months which by eating low carb essentially eliminates gluten from the diet.  I'm okay with stalling with the weight loss, but am hoping not to gain too much weight.  Does anyone have suggestions for lower carb food items that contain gluten?

You can sprinkle vital wheat gluten on any food you like.

...The above....there are some companies that make low carb breads using the gluten protein  Sure to get you that gluten challenge done with 1-2 slices a day...-_- https://www.amazon.com/ThinSlim-Foods-Calorie-Love-Taste/dp/B00HBFH2PI/

I am guessing by the screen name that LondonJules1 is in the UK so here are links for the same or similar items in the UK.

I can't find that same bread in the UK but I found this thread of diabetics in the UK so you should be able to get some ideas from that.

What about mock meat? Seitan? Do these contain gluten?

Ennis-TX Grand Master

I think this varies by brand etc. Seitan is generally made up of the gluten proteins so I would venture to say yes. But mock meat is a broad term from what I can find and covers even gluten free fake meats like soy, mushroom, and jackfruit unless you are talking about a certain brand.

Just like checking ingredient list for no gluten ingredients you can look for ones with wheat gluten rather why on the list to see if it will work for a challenge food I would imagine.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L
    • trents
      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
