This is excellent news. I hope this helps you all out. As a new Celiac I know it helps me out a great deal. I walked into the commissary on Fort Bragg yesterday and realized that even with all of that food there, I could still starve to death. Sobering thought. I decided to do a massive online search for standard foods that are gluten-free since I do not have decent health food store in my area and this is the list I found.

I printd it out (it's 34 pages long) and it will be my food bible for awhile. If you guys see anything on it that you are not certain of please post it and I will follow up with the manufacturing company.

Thank you for posting this. but ONLY if i could open it. It seems that my computer won't let me open the pdf file....what am i doing wrong?

Willamina, you may not have a program capable of reading pdf files. Does your search engine offer a way to view the document as html? Google does, I think. It also loads MUCH faster as html!

And a heads-up on the list itself: OAT products are considered gluten-free, so if you choose to avoid them you will still need to read every label (not that that's not a prudent idea anyway...)!

Woo hoo! :lol: Thanks so much for the list! I'm new to this also and get soooo confused and frustrated. I can't seem to remember the no-no ingredients as well as I can specific brand names, so this will help a lot. This will save me a lot of wasted energy reading labels and then putting stuff back when I am unsure.

Bless you!

I did notice that corn pops are on that list. Beginning Jan 1 they started putting wheat ingredients into them. There might still be a few "safe" boxes on the shelves, but you should read the label carefully before purchasing becuase if they are a new shipment they are not safe any longer.

Thank you so much for the list; it's fantastic. It's the best one I've seen and I have been looking at gluten-free lists for two years!

Okay...I don't know why I'm listed here as a "newbie" because I

contributed to the old board a hundred times! I must've done something wrong when I switched over...anyway! Corn Pops unfortunately weren't safe anyway...they were cross-contminated with the other cereals. I hated giving those up, too, because I loved them! :angry:

Hi Gillian,

How are you? I remember you from the old board, but hadn't seen you around since we switched over. Glad your back. :D

As for being a newbie, we all were. After like 10 posts you become a member, and after like 30 posts you are an advanced member. Don't worry, you'll get out of the newbie stage pretty fast.

God bless,

Mariann

There was a warning in a different area of the board that this list is not accurate. Face it there will never be a list that is 100% accurate, so just remember to always read EVERY label and if something makes you feel bad, cross it off the list, so you won't make the same mistake twice.

God bless,

Mariann :)

Hillary, Yes it is Kellogg's Corn Pops, but before you go throw out what is on your shelf, look at the manufacture date. They just started adding wheat to them in January, 2004, so if they were made before that date, they should be okay.

Corn pop I bought every box at wal mart. There no manf date but expire feb 05 and I did not see any gluten ingredient. I eat them everyday and have gained

10 lb in the 8 weeks i have been gluten-free, SO I'm thinkg they must be safe with that kind of weight gain. I think the old boxes are safe, stock up and write kellogs to protest!!!

LAWRY GRAVY package IS NOT gluten-free . it is on the list you all downloaded above.

love this forum I learn sooo much

I went to the website originally referenced and found that they have a newer list that was last updated in January 2004 (and doesn't include Corn Pops). Here's the link:

I see Pepsi on that list...does this mean that I can have my Pepsi after all? I have to have the caffiene free version, but still. I've been rather addicted to Pepsi over the years. I'd love to start drinking it again!!!

:D Thank you so much for your information on gluten-free foods. I am a new Celiac since October of 2003 and I am still having trouble with not knowing what foods I can eat. But, thanks to your information now, I am printing this book out and now I can look at it and see which ones I am able to buy without a problem. I sure do appreciate it.

Just re-reading the posts in here...what about adult cereals?

I just finished boxes of kid cereals (honey combs and alphabits) and am working on the end of a box of Corn pops. Honestly, I like these cereals, but before going gluten-free, I was eating things like Blueberry Morning from Post, or Fruit Harvest, ect, and want more cereals like that. I'm getting tired of Honey Combs and other kid type cereals. Any more grown-up type cereals that are gluten-free?

Other than corn flakes, puffed rice and Perky's Nutty Rice (sort of like grapenuts), all the other cereals I have found that are gluten-free, are sweetened, and much more like kid cereals. I think it is because adults are all supposed to try to get more fiber in their diets, so all the adult cereals have wheat and/or oats in them. I am also very frustrated with this. Some mornings I can't face another bowl of cereal!

God bless,

Mariann

Kel,

I have the same problem w/ cereals. The gluten-free ones are just too sweet. I have one called Cranberry Sunshine by Kashi and it is soooo sweet. I just bought some of Health Valley's rice crunch ums (supposed to be like chex) and haven't tried them yet, but I will let you know how sweet it is.

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs.

      @knitty kitty are you kidding? I had no idea about the casein!! No one ever mentioned that to me at all!! I basically live off that milk! I have also wondered if I have Sjorgen's , but I haven't been to the doctor yet. Can you get the TTFD over the counter? I do have dysphasia and I have lysine I just haven't been good about taking it.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.

I am so glad I found this group and all of you with all this helpful information!! I thought I was going crazy!!  I have sebaceous hyperplasia too- is that related to Celiac?  OH , and I wanted to ask if there is a site where I could find information on mental health issues , with celiac safe facilities??

      Oh, my dear!  Get off that Fairlife chocolate protein shake!  That's got milk in it!  Egads! Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  If the villi grow back, they can resume making lactase again.   I react to casein and lactose both.  I get sores in my mouth and coated tongue, and inflammation, my Dermatitis Herpetiformis flares up, I get cold sores or shingles, and TMJ pain, well, joint pain in general, and my brain health is really affected, depression and anxiety.  So dairy is a really scary horror movie.     I take Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD  (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These have anti-viral properties.   I've had chicken pox/shingles, and I also harbor the cold sore herpes virus which traveled to one eye through a nerve. It's broken now.  I had really bad nerve pain in my check at the time, then it turned into Bell's Palsy.  Thiamine TTFD helped clear up the dysphagia I was also experiencing then.  I took lots of Lysine to fight the herpes viruses as well.  Between the Thiamine TTFD and the Lysine, and avoiding dairy, mine stays dormant for the most part.   I also take a B Complex, and Magnesium Threonate to help the Thiamine TTFD work, Vitamin C, Vitamins A and D, and Zinc supplements to help Thiamine TTFD fight off those viruses. I have Sjogren's so I understand dry eye and mouth.  I found including Omega Threes, healthy fats, improved my problem.  You know how oil floats on top of water?  That's going on in our body, too.  Flaxseed oil supplements, and flaxseed oil to use on food is one way I increased my Omega Threes.  Choline and sunflower seed oil supplements are other choices I've tried.  Eat real food!  Eat fresh vegetables and fruit!  I had cooked stew in a crockpot until super mushy so I could chew and swallow it without lots of pain.  I got a bag of mandarin oranges, Cuties, whatever they're called now.  They're not too acidic.  Gluten free crackers don't have any nutritional value, no vitamins.   I followed the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  The book The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne has been most helpful.  She's a Celiac herself, and the diet has been shown to improve intestinal health. I have seen liquid vitamins on line.  Thiamine TTFD comes in a capsule, but tastes really strongly of garlic, so be prepared if your Gatorade tastes funny.
