Hey everyone, 

I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and noticed at No Frills that no name chews flavour twists were on sale so I grabbed a few. I looked at the ingredients and I don’t see anything that screams gluten. Do any of you know if these are gluten free? 
 

Ingredients: Cornmeal, Corn And/or Canola And/or Mid-oleic Sunfloweroil, Seasoning [modified Milk Ingredients, Corn Maltodextrin, Salt,cheddar Cheese Solids (milk Ingredients, Salt, Bacterial Culture,microbial Enzyme), Natural Flavour, Spice Extracts, Lactic Acid, Sodiumphosphate, Calcium Lactate, Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate,yeast Extract, Radish Concentrate, Citric Acid, High Oleic Sunfloweroil, Black Currant Concentrate, Concentrated Apple Juice, Silicondioxide].

Since it does not have "gluten-free" on the package you may want to contact the company to make sure. In the USA this product would likely be naturally gluten-free, but I'm not so sure about Canada. These are the ingredients that could be an issue:

  • Maltodextrin: The source of maltodextrin is not specified. While maltodextrin can be gluten-free, it's essential to know its source.
  • Natural Flavour: The source of natural flavoring is not specified. Natural flavors can sometimes contain gluten, and it's recommended to verify with the manufacturer.

In Canada, any source of wheat, rye, or barley must be identified by its plain name in the ingredient list or in a Contains statement immediately below the ingredient list. If the natural flavor contained barley it would be listed as "natural flavor (barley)". If the maltodextrin was made from wheat, it would be listed as "maltodextrin (wheat)". If the yeast extract came from Brewer's yeast, it would be "yeast extract (barley)".  This ingredient list does not include any gluten-containing ingredients.

Thank you all for the info. It is very new to me but that completely makes sense. Even if I tried them I would not know if I was glutened or not. I am pretty well asymptomatic. They sound alright though I will contact the manufacturer to be sure

Farmhandyo, if you are in Canada, check out Celiac Canada for their Gluten-free 101 webinars (https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/events/). The next one is December 14th. It is a great introduction to reading labels, dining out, and all the other things you need to learn as a new celiac. I hope you are feeling well soon.

Do keep in mind that some Celiac people react to the protein in dairy as though it were gluten because segments the casein molecules resemble segments of gluten molecules.  This is called molecular mimicry.

I only got diagnosed because I had some odd bowel movements for about 2 weeks. But nothing that uncomfortable. I went to my family doctor and asked if she could do some blood tests to see if I had some sort of bacteria. I waited 2 weeks for the blood test results and I felt 100% back to normal. I tested positive for celiac disease. Everyone else in my family got tested and no one else has it. Did the endoscopy results came back as inconclusive (I had been eating lots of gluten though). Thankfully I have virtually no symptoms I am not even 100% sure if I have it or not but I probably do.

You might have been caught at the earliest stages of CeD.  Some of us old fogeys went undiagnosed for years or decades with accruing health problems.  When we're younger, our bodies can heal faster.  But as time goes on, symptoms pile up, too. Don't question your diagnosis.  Be thankful doctors are more aware of CeD than in the past.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
