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.

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.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
