Please help.....I'm new, and just started eliminating wheat and gluten. It's very difficult to understand were gluten is hidden. I still can't find the delphi list. I've read in this forum about gluten free items, but it seems not everyone agrees. Is there a sure way to fing out? Do you call each manufacture? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for gluten free soymilk, pudding, cereal for less than 4.00 a box, and some alcohol..and where is spell check

Chris:

I can help you with a few of your questions. Indeed, in the beginning iit is extremely confusing and frustrating.

Don't worry about the spell check, we don't have it and we don't care about spelling either.

With regards to the Delfi Gluten Free Product List, I have it on my computer, but not savey enough to paste it to you. I am sure that someone will send it to you soon. Or, perhaps you can search for "Delfi Forum" and see if you can download it on your own.

I do not have a casin problems so don't know much about soy and don't eat cereals. Cream of Rice is always good and inexpensive.

Liquors that you can drink are wine (they do contain sulfates that bother some), I drink Seagrams 7, with seven-up. Makers Mark, Scotch, Gin and I think most unflavored Vodkas. I know that there are other, but that's off the top of my head. All coke, pepsi and 7-up, sprite, sierra mist are all gluten free, as are tonics and club sodas.

You can do a search here at the forum and get the answers to most of your quetions as our community is constantly changing with the newbies posting and the "old-hatters" having been there.

I hope that this was helpful to you and please ask away....that's why we are here. :):)

Kraft will not hide gluten so any puddings by Kraft just read the label. There are others as well but we like jello pudding in my house. :) Main stream cereals that are gluten-free are fruity and cocoa pebbles and cocoa puffs. There are a few others.... just do a search.

Hang in there. It does get easier. Companies are very helpful, if you have doubts....just call them. There is usually answers on most websites as well.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum! This web site is a great place to ask questions. There are lots of experienced people who offer good, solid advice. My advice to you is to go slow. Don't be in a hurry to find everything on the market that is gluten free. If you are like others here, you may be sensitive to other things in addition to gluten. I went out and bought all kinds of flours, cookies, etc. All gluten free. I still got sick. I finally figured out, with alot of help from this forum, that I needed to let my insides heal. I needed to eat, fruits, veggies, fresh meats,etc. I found out that I am sensitive to corn, possibly brown rice. because I ate simply and didn't have lots of other things covering up the culprit. Good luck to you!

Thank you all for your help. This has been a crazy year. I find it comforting and overwhelming that I have so much informatin via computer. l I learned alot just from reading these posts. Eating this way is so different form the ususal. I used to look at total carbs and protein. Now I'm happy if I can add one new thing to my pallet that doesn't give me a rash. Not to mention the price of eating gluten free........wow......does everyone shop at the gluten free pantry? Is there any competition?

I am very new too but have learned that starting January 06 the FDA requires manufacturers to list common allergen content clearly on the ingredient label. Apparently in the past there were many places it could be "hidden" such as Natural Flavoring and Modified Food Starch. Now it can't be.

After the ingredient list there should be this:

Contains: soy, milk, tree nuts.....or something like that. You can trust the big guys for sure on that. ConAgra Foods, Kraft, Sara Lee, General Mills and so on. If in doubt, call the manufacturer though.

Good luck!

I highly recommend baking your own! You can get inexpensive rice, tapioca, bean & potato flours from Asian supermarkets, much cheaper than most other sources. Bette Hagman & Annalise Roberts have some great cookbooks. (Check some out of the library to see which you like best.) Gluten-free baking looks daunting at first, but it's really quite doable with a little trial & error.

Welcome to this forum-- it's such a fantastic resource-- the best information AND moral support.

One caution on this-- I'm pretty new too, but unless I am mistaken, only wheat is required listing-- there could still be barley, rye, oats, in the flavorings. Am I wrong about this? I think the safest thing is to contact the mfgr. or search for the product's gluten-free status online (starting here!)

Just be aware that that applies to wheat but not to rye, barley or oats. You can still find hidden gluten in ntural flavorings and in modified food starch. To be safe always call the manufacturor unless it says gluten free.

You mean someone is slower than I am?! I'm glad you posted too because I wasn't 100% sure. (Hoping I was wrong actually....)

I think "some companies are very helpful" is perhaps more accurate but in general the safe thing is just to stick with those that are.

Fruity pebbles and cocoa puffs are gluten free??? I would have never expected that.

I don't eat a lot of bread products because the gluten free ones are too expensive.

Pacific Brand milk has gluten-free flavors made from rice that I love...way better than soy. you can find it at your local supermarket.

Some quick things I eat for convenience if I don't have time to cook or I'm out and don't have a lot of $$?

Delimex chicken taquitos-frozen section of grocery store-really good!

McDonald's fries and a McFlurry w/ M&M's

In N Out Burger-protein style. It's wrapped in lettuce. Their buns never touch the meat. I eat there a lot and never get sick. Their fries are good, too.

PF Chang's, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill all have gluten-free menus for a nicer, slightly pricier dinner or lunch.

As mentioned, Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are on sale a lot and gluten-free.

Mission Tortilla Chips and Pace Picante salsa..yum!

Ben & Jerry's-any kind without brownie or cookie dough or obvious wheat ingredients are gluten-free.

Ore Ida fries and tater tots...

Sara Lee lunch meat-the kind wrapped and sold outside the deli so there's no chance of cross contam

Kraft ranch dressing w/salad

Sorry a lot of this is junk! It's what I snack on..usually we have chicken, rice, and broccoli for dinner.

Oh and Tinkinyada has great gluten-free pasta. Classico sauces are gluten-free and tasty as are many others.

Some Tiger Milk bars..just read the labels. I like Peanut Honey.

Just email me if you need to know if something is gluten-free!

jknnej@yahoo.com

Alcohol? Any liquor that's not grain based will work...I drink wine sometimes.

Outback has all kinds of margeritas that are gluten-free so most liquor must be OK>

There are quite a few threads on this.

The simplest is just to go back to basics, eat nothing from a tin or packet lots of greens and vegetables

You can eat fruit for breakfast but obviously you will be a bit loose if you eat too much but more in a cleansing way than gluten way...

Cut out anything heavy like cream or things that fill you like potatoes and rice for a short time just to give your digestive system a break... go easy on meats and go with well cooked stewed type meats if you do ...

Lots of people benefit from cutting out dairy and anything with soy.

Welcome!

You should begin by eliminating all major sources of gluten from your diet-- the big ones: breads, cereals, pastas, beer, bottled sauces, and try not to eat out too often. Your stomach may take a few days-- but I've found that exercise (especially yoga), extra sleep, and sometimes tylenol can be of great help. Drinking lots of water, and trying to get rid of the dairy, fat, and spice in your diet can help too if the other things don't. I have been gluten free for only two months but the stomach upset is now much more rare & intermitent. Be patient but do try your best just to rid of the gluten and you will see effects almost immediately!

Be well.

Thank you everyone this forum is great. It's hard to get people to understand what you are going through. Trying to explain to my boss how I feel is hard at times because they don't really understand. Thank you all so much you are all a great help. :D xxxx

I'm on my second day being gluten free. Just tried Ener-g rice bread as a substitute for real bread - yuk!

As for alcohol, I contacted the manufacturer of Dry Blackthorn hard cider and they stated it is gluten-free. That's my beer-substitute from now on. It's a lot cheaper than the gluten-free special beers and you can get it on tap at some bars.

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
