Afraid Of Eating The Wrong Thing

Do they try to make it confusing on purpose? I can't identify 3/4 of the stuff on the ingredients lists. I got list from Nini and TCA (thanks guys!) but it's still so confusing. For example, if I can have Yoplait yogurt does that mean any flavor/kind as long as it's Yoplait? What about Pringles potato chips? Can I have them? What about all the different flavors and kinds (low-fat, fat-free, etc)? I'm sorry everyone but I'm getting really frustated. I've found I'm not the world's best cook and can barely fry up a hamburger.

You still need to read the ingredients list on the label to see if they've changed since the list was made. If there's anything questionable, write down the word to check on it and don't buy it until you're sure.

One of the best things you can do when you are first gluten-free is try to limit the amount of processed foods for a bit. It can make things much less stressfull. To my knowledge all yoplait yogurts are safe but the pringles are a no no. I get Lays stacks they are from a dedicated facility and state no gluten. They are heavily loaded with lots of not so great stuff though so I do limit the amount I eat. If I have any doubt about a product I ALWAYS call the company. If there isn't a phone number listed I don't take it home. One of the bonuses to this is that a lot of companies will send you their current gluten-free lists and also coupons. It can be challenging especially at first but it is so worth the trouble in the end.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
