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.

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

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.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
