Morning Lister--the best thing you can do is to call the 800# for the company and ask about the product. Usually if it says gluten free, then it is, but there are still products I am leary of. I found some Puritan Pride vitamins that said gluten free, but there is barley grasses listed in the ingredients. So I asked them why and the lady called the company, they told her that in their opinion, the barlet grasses do not constitute enough gluten to be considered gluten. I told them that they do not tell me how much is ok and I wont purchase the product.

Kraft is the one company that I know will always list the allergens on the ingredients list--I always trust them. When in doubt, I dont buy the product.

As for Dove, I am using one of their liquid soaps in the shower and it's fine. I usually use Softsoap brand. Deb

Clan Thompson says that Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm tin and tube and Lifeguard's choice and lip gloss are all gluten-free. Other gluten-free lip balms:

Blistex lip ointment

Blistex lip balm, regular, mint, berry

Chapstick lip moisturizer spf 15

Children's chapstick flava-craze, grape or fruit punch

I believe the Neutrogena lip moisturizer stick is also gluten-free. And if all else fails, petroleum jelly works great - put some on at bedtime to heal cracks and chronic dryness.

are all blistex's safe? i acually have the medicated in my girlfriends car, it works great but i stopped using it ecause i did not think it was safe,

for the natures path rice bar-envirokids, i found a old post from vanderscope(sorry if i mispelled your name) saying his kids eat them so i just did mmmmm. i dont know thow im geten my normal "glutened feeling" but as i have noticedi think its just how i feel after i eat always for now owell. Maybe soy doesnt like me

I looked up my snickerdoodles and they look fine so thats good

only thing i cant find about is the ener-g pretzels

im just trying to be ubercarefull and make sure no one else gets reactions from these things befoere i eat them myself.

The Energe gluten free pretzels are definitely gluten free AND delicious. I believe that they're even made in a dedicated factory to eliminate CC chances.

The Envirokidz bars are safe. I used to eat them all the time w/o a problem.

You can generally trust things if they're labeled as gluten free. I usually still read the ingredients, just to make sure that there are no oats in it since some people consider oats safe. If you're in doubt, just call or e-mail the company before purchasing or eating.

I eat the Envirokids bars too and react to the soy in them.

Oh, forgot, I eat the Ener-g pretzels and have no problems.

In my opinion, the only thing on you list you should be careful with is the Vans Waffles. A lot of people do fine with those, but lots of people react too (I personally think it's the soy flour in those that "glutens" people). If you eat them and start to feel sick, you might want to eliminate them.

I use Burt's Bees lip balm with no problems.

Mango, do you know of any gluten free and SOY free waffles??

Gosh, I don't know. The Lifestream ones contain soy oil and soy lecithin, both of which are less harmful to me (I think) than soy flour. I'll need to check the Trader Joes Bananna ones. I think they have a lot of junk in them, so they probably have soy, but I'm not sure...

Mango--I reacted terribly to Van's. I thought it was because of CC--but it very well could have been the soy flour. Actually, that makes more sense. Thanks :)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
