Hi Squall,

Don't be too upset at yourself. It takes a long time to get this right. :rolleyes: It will eventually become second nature, believe it or not!

Margarine can have gluten in it, you need to check the labels. I, personally, stay away from it altogether and use butter. As for mayonnaise - I have yet to find one that DOES have gluten in it.

Hope that helps!

Where would be the wheat in margarine? I use stick to keep mine separate from my hubby's tub o margarine. Mayo is egg based and I've never had a problem.

Hi Squall!

Don't beat yourself up about it! It is a major diet change and takes a lot of time to really get it under control......

As for mayonnaise and margarine, yes, gluten may be in some brands..... For margarine, I use Fleishmann's and for mayonnaise, I use Hellman's......

Never found a mayo with gluten in the U.S. And magarine is also almost universally gluten-free.

If you're lactose intolerant you might want to try Earth Balance as well. It's the most amazing alternative to real butter :)

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but is all mayo really safe?

Mayo has vinegar, does it not?

How can we tell what kind of vinegar is in it and whether or not it is safe?

you might only be temporarily lactose intolerant....once you have healed from the celiac damage, lactose might be fine again.

was the marg. and mayo you used "safe." .... i.e., nothing was ever dipped in it that had gluten remnants? (knife that was making a 'samwich' with non-gluten free bread, and then dipped back in?)

Like others have said, we have separate condiments like marg and mayo in our house for gluten-free/non gluten free.

if you are only 1 month in, you are probably still not completely healed. so everything you ate might have been fine, you just might be having trouble bc you haven't healed. I was like that and thought I was eating all this gluten-turned out I wasn't, I just wasn't healed. Didn't realize it though til I looked back and learned more about what was/wasn't safe.

Vinegars are generally safe, except for malt vinegar and certain flavored vinegars.

If it says vinegar, it means distilled vinegar, which is safe (FDA guidelines).

Hi Squall,

I use the Fleishmann's margarine that is also lactose free. It comes in a package of two containers.....

Well i live alone with my 6 cats so unless one of them made himself a samwich :)

i think i dont have to worry about that...( but then again they are pretty sneaky...hmmm i wonder...)

i bought new ustensil the day i knew i had problems. i was scared to even touch the one i had before hehe

If you're sensative to soy, you may want to try a different mayo. I just bought one made from Canola Oil, no soy - it's pretty good too.

The vinegar in mayo is distilled, which means it's gluten-free.

It took me a year on the gluten free diet before I could tolerate distilled vinegar among other thingsthat tend to show up on the controversial lists of safe foods. From what you stated you are pretty new to the diet and still need to heal. Keep a food diary to help keep your sanity, gluten may not be the cause of all your stomach upset.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      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.
