"Teriyaki" traditionally has regular soy sauce in it, which is made with wheat. You can make your own with tamari or other wheat-free soy sauce.

For pasta sauce, I use Ragu. Most, if not all are gluten-free--I have not found one with gluten. Read the label to make sure the flavor you choose is safe.

I got sick off of the Lundberg premade rice packs... I contacted the company and they were very apologetic, but couldn't offer an explanation other than the one flavor that is not gluten-free... possibility of cc... so while I love the rest of Lundbergs products, I won't eat those premade packs.

I use Amy's spagetti sauce with no problems.

prego is gluten free. I read that classico also is, but I haven't tried it yet. The Tinkayada pastas are great! Enjoy :D

With any product not made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, there is always a chance of CC. I have never had a problem with it. I have heard that they are all gluten-free, but since I have not checked that out myself, I was just being cautious.

Delmonte makes canned sauces that are great. The only one that is not safe is the one with meat but that is clearly marked as containing wheat. I have had no CC issues with any of their stuff. Also if you grab a can be sure to call the company and ask for their gluten-free lists. All the canned and jarred fruits including Snack cups are gluten-free. They sent some great coupons with the list too. In addition to the pasta you've got you may want to try 'Ancient Harvest' Quinoa and Corn. It is the only one I can stomach with just butter. To me it has a texture more like regular pasta than the rice based ones and is a bit less sticky.

you might be ok with them... it may have been something else besides gluten that I reacted to... but I don't know for sure. but I wouldn't try them until you are healed a bit more, you seem to still be quite sensitive to a lot of things and I wouldn't want to reccommend that you try it and then you get sick... use your own judgement. they don't work for me though, that's just my experience.

If the Amy's you tried had dairy in it, you could have been reacting to that...

A: Del Monte Gluten-Free Products

Please note: The list below includes products that, to the best of our knowledge, do not contain wheat, oats, rye or barley/malt ingredients.

(I haven't yet been diagnosed as Celiac, but my horrific GERD symptoms gradually vanished after going on a gluten-free diet, so even if I don't have celiac disease, I can't go back to gluten. I'm allergic to proton pump inhibitors too. Even a tiny amount of gluten triggers severe GERD...even oats.. and the GERD is so bad that the only medication I can take [Pepcid] doesn't work well against it. I've been gluten-free and casein-free since December 2006 and now have no GERD and feel much more relaxed and focused. Diarrhea from eating fatty foods has decreased too. I'm no longer bloated. No more heart palpitations. I'm so glad to see your site and know that I'm not alone.. you folks are wonderful.)

I live in Indonesia and I'm wondering about McDonald's french fries. They are fried in palm oil here. I assume their ingredients are standardized and all franchises import everything from Australia or the US, but I could be wrong. I love the fries so much..I just hope they use dedicated fryers and don't use tongs or hands that touched bread or breaded chicken. There are other celiac sites that refuse to certify McDonald's as gluten-free due to CC issues. What's the consensus here? I guess they could drop a dozen Chicken McNuggets in with the fries when they are very busy, but I'd like to think that most people are honest and won't do that, but maybe it's wishful thinking on my part.. Sorry for the rambling.

(I read the forum about the fries, but I'm in Indonesia and they aren't very helpful here. In fact, I think they could care less. I emailed the local companies about my medications and they don't respond, but the Western ones do.)

Another one is Close-Up toothpaste. If anyone here uses Close-Up, can you tell me if yours is made by Unilever?

Thanks a lot.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @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?
