Hidden Glutens


Iron Jack Kidd

Recommended Posts

Iron Jack Kidd Newbie

Hi,

I'm still struggling with the hidden glutens and ran across this list of potential harmful ingredients. Veterns of the board, do you think is 50/50 that there is gluten in these itmes, or is it 100% chance. What are your experiences?

unidentified starch

modified food starch

hydrolyzed vegetable protein - HVP

hydrolyzed plant protein - HPP

texturized vegetable protein - TVP

binders

fillers

excipients

extenders

malt

Thanks for your input.

the chance doesn't matter. unless you know for sure that it does NOT contain gluten, you don't eat it. period.

unidentified starch - must be identified now by law

modified food starch - unless it's Kraft or another trusted company and you know it's safe, it's a toss up. Usually it's corn, but you have to call.

hydrolyzed vegetable protein - HVP - usually gluten

hydrolyzed plant protein - HPP - usually gluten

texturized vegetable protein - TVP - usually gluten

binders - has to be identified by law if has a top 8 allergen

fillers - has to be identified by law if it has a top 8 allergen

excipients - call and check

extenders - call and check

malt - unless it says rice malt, it's ALWAYS gluten (barley)

the chance doesn't matter. unless you know for sure that it does NOT contain gluten, you don't eat it. period.

THIS IS 100% TRUE

agreed.

I never really rely on odds anyway, even if I did know them, murphy's law applies to me so often it's not funny. Unless I am 100% sure it's safe I don't eat it (and then still I get sick sometimes........:()

Thanks for the replies...

Looking at the ingredients of Oberto Beef Jerky it says hydrolyzed corn and soy protein. I guess hydrolyzed means gluten... This is a bummer for me; I was eating this to bump up my protein intake to compensate for my high glucose problems (I will never give up fruit, at this point)...

Oh and looking at a can of Mug root beer it says; Modified food starch. Hurrmn…

The list gets narrowed down.

I'd research the root beer if it's something you like, it's not necessarily gluten, but you need to contact them to see what it is.

Corn and soy protein are okay as long as you don't have a problem with either corn or soy. Raw almonds will serve the same purpose, for variety's sake.

you don't have to throw those products out, you just have to call or email the company. hydrolized doesn't mean gluten - hydrolyzed is a chemical process. hydrolyzed corn and soy protein means that it comes from corn and soy, not wheat, barley, rye, or oats, so it's safe. Oberto is fine (except for one flavor - teriyaki, I think), as is Whole Foods and Tillamook's Beef Nuggets (again, some flavors).

I have been under the impression that Muggs is gluten free.

Yes, Mug's Root Beer is gluten free. They claim that on their website actually. Open Original Shared Link

I just had to look this up a couple of weeks ago, only reason I know. There might be other stuff in it that your body doesn't do well with, you can get a listing of all their ingredients on there if you want.

Are there any sodas that contain gluten? I haven't found one yet, but just curious.

What is the scoop on malt Flavoring?? Anybody?? :huh:

It definitely has gluten. Unless it says it's rice malt, it's from barley.

lovegrov Collaborator

Hydrolized proteins and even modified food starches are in fact almost always gluten-free, and now if they have wheat it has to be listed in food. And wheat is what would be hidden in these things. The only warning heere is that if a company still has labels it printed up before the labeling law took effect, they can use those labels until they're gone.

O'berto's jerky is gluten-free EXCEPT the 2 or 3 flavors that clearly list wheat. Mug root beer is gluten-free.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
