Hidden Gluten

I thought I was doing a good job of finding all the hidden gluten, but I wasn't. My herbal tea now has a "contains trace amounts of wheat" label. It is Salada decaf red berry green tea, for any other tea drinkers. Now I'm wondering if there are other things I've not even considered. I've checked all my cosmetics & toiletries and changed a few of those. We have separate pots and pans just because we both had a set when we got married and we both prefer our own. I am still getting myself sick and I can't figure out why. Where did you finally find your last bit of gluten?

Lemondade... some cloudy lemondade mixes have gluten in them (I can't remember the brand, it was a generic)

Generic Soda from the Dollar General store... YIKES!

unless you can verify ingredients with the company, I now avoid GENERICS!!!

Publix grocery store has a great list of all of there generic store brand products that are gluten-free.

In my pet foods and can opener. I bought a new people only can opener and now check pet food labels as well as human. Wheat is the first or third ingredient in most of them, why?

certain lunchmeats (like roast beef)

condiments (butter, mayo) in my fridge that were used with gluten foods (we now have separates)

my main one is not a label----but cross contamination through eating out. I have less than a handful of places that I can eat at anymore, I am so sensitive.

good luck!!!!

Of all things...my dh's mustache. He's a beer drinker and it took me forever to figure out that was the gluten source.

As for the pet food, I use rubber gloves when handling, especially at the barn.

Ha ha--that was funny :) But I'm sure it wasn't at the time! (You have a barn--and animals?)

For me, my MAC lip conditioner was a source of hidden gluten.

My dh didn't want to believe that it could be him. Ha Ha. I don't have a barn. I ride horses and I sometimes help my trainer feed when I'm at her barn. I do have a red merle Australian shepherd by the name of Boomer...and of all things he's bit wheat sensitive. Good to know about the MAC lip conditioner.

Chelsea-

Yes, some of their other products do have gluten...as well as many other makeup companies. Unfortunately, I can't recall which products exactly. One of two of MAC's lipstick types definitely have gluten in them--wheat germ oil I believe. If you e-mail them they can provide you with ingredient lists of the products you are using. Oh, just did a search back to when I called and got info on MAC. You may want to ck again but go here to view-I'm the 1st response: Open Original Shared Link

Thanks! I don't want to give up mac! I hope the viva glam is gluten-free, I like the charity aspect.

I'm not sure about that one, but I would definitely check--don't want you licking any gluten off your lips!

Aveda lipstick. I love it, and because it contains peppermint oil, would lick my lips, because it tasted good!

To make them cheaper. :(

The pet foods that I've seen that are not this way are expensive.

My hidden source is labels - grrrrr. Generic terms like spices, ____ oil, ____ extract have all caused me problems.

Also, how's this one for you all - b/c we have to worry about things like stickers and glue, what about the stickers and sticker residue on fruits.....??? Scary..... I don't know if these have gluten, but I just realized that these have the potential to be a source.

Someone mentioned the labels on fruit. I slice the things off from below with a knife like I would a bruise on an apple... you can never be too careful.

Its funny--I was wondering about the labels on the fruit, too. I just wash it off real well, but cutting it out is a great idea.

What about the dry roasted nuts? I used to eat a ton of those. But the ingredients always say just "almonds".

I just found out that MAC Brush Cleanser has some kind of wheat stuff in it. It's a good thing I never used it to wash my makeup brushes.

I'm still grossed out by the fact that preshredded cheese has flour. Ew. That would stop me from eating it even before going gluten-free.

Pretty well all of aveda products contain some form of wheat. All of their hair products do.

i never understood why i got sick......even cater places do this so be careful!

I don't think the rosemary mint shampoo/conditioner have wheat, but you'll have to check for sure. I might have only looked on one out of two bottles. Their shampure line does have wheat. :(

I really like the shea butter lipbalm from l'Occitane. I got it at Sephora. It's like $10/stick but it's SO NICE. A cheaper version that really works is the Vitamin E stick from Reviva labs. I got that at whole foods for a few dollars.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
