Hi ladies

Does anyone have a list of ing. to avoid for a gluten free diet

This is new to me...

I picked up Shoprite brand rice chex for my ds..i think he may be reacting to them

I called Shoprite and asked about ing and allergens and was told they are GLUTEN free....the 2nd ing. is barley malt extract..

Thanks, Kim

Whoever told you that those were gluten-free is sadly misinformed. Barley is an excellent dietary source of gluten, and malting does not change that. Avoid anything with barley, which frequently appears in ingredient lists as simply "malt flavor."

Here are the links to the safe and forbidden lists...

That cereal is gluteny.

The only regular brands of cereal I know of that are gluten-free are the Post fruity and cocoa pebbles. Other than that, you would need to find the ENVIROKIDZ brands... Most are gluten free. They are in lots of regular stores these days, but definitly in "health food stores".

Thanks so much

:angry:

This makes me so mad....I didn't even ask specifically if they were gluten-free..when I asked about allergens the rep told, and her exact words were...they are GLUTEN FREE

I decided to double check the box for myself

I already got him 2 varieties of envirokidz cereal but I guess like a typical toddler..what he loves one day he hates the next..so I am always looking for something new/diff to spark his interest...and easy, since I also have a 9mnth to take care of

Thanks again...Kim

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
