Lists Of Gf/cf Foods

When I just about got the gluten free thing under control, I learned I have to also avoid CASEIN, rather than just using 'lactaid' supplements to consume dairy. So I can't have ANY dairy OR gluten containing products. WHERE DO I FIND LISTS OF GLUTEN FREE AND DAIRY FREE FOODS? WHERE DO I FIND LISTS OF DAIRY CONTAINING FOODS/INGREDIENTS TO AVOID? I looked on the gfcfdiet.com site where they post lots of great info about dealing with forms of autism, but they didn't list mainstream foods which are gluten-free/cf. Do I just look at separate dairy free lists and combine those with my knowledge of gluten free foods and products or what?? What does everybody else (who must avoid gluten and casein) DO to decide which foods to choose or which products to buy?

At times like those (I'm trying to figure out if casein is a problem for me or not), I just go strictly with whole foods. No packaged/processed stuff. Well, packaged pasta I will get, 'cause the ingredients are so simple. Same thing with unsweetened soy milk, and a few other very basic things. But other than that... whole foods.

I know there is a list - and one of the members here posted it ... somewhere ... a number of months ago. But I get paranoid about this sort of thing. ;-)

I think it was me who posted that list.

Burdee, go back to the gfcfdiet website (or use the link above) and order the GFCFDIET Shopping Guide. You will still have to read labels, but it will point you in the right direction and it does also list the ingredients that are "off limits". The guide was put together to help parents of autistic children, who follow a gluten-free/cf diet, but it works for us Celiacs who can't have dairy as well.

It does list mainstream food products, as well as some specialty foods and household/toiletry products. It cost's about $23.00, but it is money well spent. It also comes with some restaraunt "allergy" cards to assist you when eating out, and mine also came with some books and a cassette about Autism (which you can do whatever you want with, personally I saved mine in case my relatives with an autistic son ever decide they might try him on the diet) even though I ordered just the shopping guide and cards.

God bless,

Hi Burdee,

I have found comprehensive lists of gluten free products on both this site and also www.delphiforums.com and go into "Health and Wellness" and the celiac site is the second one down.

They have a very comprehensive list of gluten free brands broken down in convenient categories.....

Have a great day!

Thanks, Mariann. :D I was looking for a free list I could print out, but I could certainly afford the GFCGDIET Shopping Guide.

Another question, though. I noticed your signature included 'soy limited'. What does your 'soy limited' signature indicate? Did you react to soy with similar symptoms as you reacted to gluten? How would I know if I 'react' to soy? I've just begun to try various brands and varieties of soy milks, yogurts and soy based margarines. I've only been gluten-free 11 weeks and CF 6 days. My reactions (symptoms) to gluten and casein were similar but different. I had more brain fog/fatigue and sinus mucous with casein, but still the same abdominal cramping, bloating, pain symptoms as I had with gluten. Now my gluten/casein symptoms are GREATLY reduced--almost NO bloating, almost normal regularity, very little gas, only occasional cramping twinges, no fatigue/brain fog, no sinus mucous. I've heard I should wait until ALL my symptoms disappear before introducing new foods, but that may be a LONG wait. I only recently learned I had celiac disease after struggling with symptoms most of my life. I don't expect the abdominal sensitivity to disappear overnight, even with vigilant adherence to the Gluten-free Casein-free diet. What kind of soy sensitive 'reaction' should I expect? Or should I undergo allergy tests for that?

Hi Burdee,

I am allergic to soy. I react with severe itching all over my body when I have certain forms of soy. For instance, I can have soybean oil and soy lecithin without problems, but soy sauce makes me react the worst. I can have small amounts of soy flour, but anything more than a few gluten-free pretzels (with soy flour) and I start to react. I used to drink soy milk and eat tofu, but since I found out about the allergy, I avoid those things now. So I say "soy limited", since I am by no means soy free. Sometimes I just have to have some wheat free soy sauce on my rice! But I know that it means I will finish the day off with Benadryl. :rolleyes:

Some people are intolerant of soy and that would cause GI problems, fortunately it is just gluten and casein for me! I feel bad for our fellow celiacs who also can't eat corn, eggs, rice, soy, etc. The more common foods you have to avoid the harder the diet. Thank God for the Internet and the wealth of support and information available to us!

God bless,

Mariann

Hi!

You mentioned "Benadryl" in the above post, and I wanted to let you know I called them about 2 weeks ago to double check on their product and make sure it was gluten-free, and they gave me a different answer this time than last! This time I was told no gluten is added, but it is possible that it is cross-contaminated. I don't use any products that may have cross-contamination issues, although I know some people do, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up!

Sounds like to me Benadryl's lawyers have told them to add a CYA statement. I've never heard of anybody reacting to Benadryl. My bet is it's just as safe as the last time you checked it.

BTW, virtually every single processed product out there has chance of contamination because nobody or almost nobody controls the manufacture of every single ingredient. A recent study showed that 25 percent of processed products tested that were supposed to be gluten-free had measureable gluten.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
