Are All Hydrogenated And Hydrolized Oils Out?

First off thank you to those who wrote back about my fist thread and there is no costco, whole foods, trader joes etc in a ten or twenty county radius. I went to my local teeny tiny co op and spent two hours scouring ingrediant lists but i am unsure whether all hydrogenated and hydrolized oils are out. It seems as if everything has them.

Is cool whip for instance safe? How about chocolate milk? :blink:

Proteins are hydrolized (think hydrolized vegetable protein), which means broken into smaller pieces, oils are hydrogenated, or are chemically reacted to change the carbon bonds and give them a higher melting temperature. Hydrolized vegetable protein is probably soy. Hydrogenated oils like crisco are definitely bad for your heart.

Hydrolized Vegetable Protein can be gluten, but not always. Anything hydrogenated or hydrolized isn't especially good for you though. You should check out the lists of safe and forbidden ingredients on celiac.com. That might help you out.

Hydrogenated may not be particularly good for anybody, but it almost never has gluten, and now if it's made from wheat it has to be listed that way. I've never heard of it being made from barley or rye.

Cool Whip is definitely gluten-free and chocolate milk should be, although I can't guarantee you that every brand in the world is.

I know nothing about gluten content in hydorgentated oils one way or the other, but I have been told by my chiropractor (who is with me on the whole celiac thing - in his words "why do you want to back on gluten to get tested when you know it makes you sick" - also he saw a more than 100% turn around in my physical strength after one week off gluten) that hydrogenated oils increase the pain level in your body by 10%. If you have no pain, I would say a little every now & then is not that big a deal.

But if you have any kind of chronic pain (as I have) - DON'T DO IT!!!!

I have noticed myself an increase in pain when I consume them.

Just my two cents...

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
