The Trix has "Wheat Starch" - Doesn't that have Gluten? :unsure:

The Coco Puffs indeed look to be Gluten Free - :)

EXCEPT for the Cross Contamination issue - but I, personally, am not that concerned about that. I GOTTA EAT SOMETHING!!!! (I eat Capt Crunch which has no inherent gluten, but Quaker says could have cross contamination issues).

Be nice! I have to read labels 2 3, sometimes 4 times at the stores!!

Try Silk Soymilk if you can have soy, its a great dairy substitute. Even before going df I found it to be better tasting!

To my knowledge, we can't change the topic title. Why don't you email Scott and see if he will do it. Or, if you want, I can email him.

I thought Cap'n Crunch had oat flour. It does in Canada. Everytime I go to the grocery I check corn and rice based cereals and they always have malt or oat flour in them.

I just came from the Super Market - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA, Giant Foods.

The TRIX (a different looking box than the "reduced sugar" one that was photographed here).

It does not have Wheat Starch or Malt Flavoring. But it DOES have whole grain oats - which do not seem to bother me. I also checked others by General Mills (Coco Puffs, Lucky Charms, etc) - it was hit and miss with ingredients. But Oats - either whole grain or as "flour" was pretty consistent.

I've been told that oats are ok and that the cross contamination varies greatly......and some are that sensitive that it bothers them and some are not. I'm still trial and erroring.

It appears to me that just about every food that I like COULD have cross contamination or wheat or gluten.

I have to eat something other than a hamburger patty (100% pure beef) with a slice of cheese on it!

I've been noticing that Fruit on the Botton Yogurt by both Dannon and Giant are gluten free and eat those and any other yogurts I can find with no stated hidden potential problem substances.

Most of the Dorito's, Tostitos, Lays/Utz potato chips are good to go (see the list posted previously). But I'm supposed to limit iodine (so too much salt).

I found TACO shells and Tortillas tonight both with and without wheat. Same brand, differing ingredients.

I also found cocktail sauce for shrimp both with and without "suspicious" stuff.

Are "emulsifiers" ok?

Trying very hard, but having hard time. Losing weight tho. :unsure:

The cocoapuffs have as an ingredient 'natural and artificial flavouring'. Isn't that a potential gluten source?

Yes, but in this case it General Mills and they will list any gluten soruces so its okay.

don't feel bad, I bought the same box a couple weeks back and ate it once or twice and felt a little odd afterwards, thinking it was my mind. Well I reread the labels and saw Wheat Starch towards the bottom....hmm I feel like an idiot because I completly missed it the first time I read the label....oh well. I will keep munching on my neoPets cereal and those frosted Perky O's.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
