Hi :(

This is my first time asking a question,i had a list or i should say pages of what foods i could eat. I have celiac disease have been diagnosed about 2 and a half yrs. ago.I am just still surviving on the little foods i know i can eat.Because my memory is so bad i can't remember the foods i can and can't have.I lost the papers i had to go by.The thing i do remember is i can have margerine but it has to be imperial,i know there are others i can have i think. Does any body know where i can get this information?,it is not in the safe foods list i checked.Or does anybody know what other kinds of margerine and butter i can have.Any idea's on foods would be a great help.I am on disability and really don't have much money,i have no car and their is no close store,so any idea's on how to obtain food and what kind would really help.I was at 121 lbs. went down to 83 lbs. back up to 118 lbs. now am down to 105 and can't get anywhere.I loose weight just thinking about it.My metabolisim is so high it is hard to put weight on and keep it there.So any help on safe foods and the margrine thing would help.I am always stuck when i go to dine out,i know no other margerines or butter.Thank You for any help you's might give me.

The Clan Thompson Smarlist shows the following margarines as gluten-free:

Blue Bonnet Regular (Quarters)

Fleischmans Original and Unsalted Sticks

The above are made by ConAgra

Also:

HyVee Corn Oil Quarters and Vegetable Oil Quarters AND Bowl.

There are others on the list like Denny's Liquid or Whipped

Safeway/Vons/Domicks/Randalls Margerine (all)

McDonald's Margarine

Price Chopper Margarine and Spreads

All pure butters are gluten-free - salted and unsalted.

As ALWAYS: READ THE LABEL BEFORE EATING.

You must be in Canada, because Imperial is only sold there now (according to their website) - and it doesn't have any info on Gluten, that I can find.

Hi Balena! Welcome to the board :)

Here is a list of safe foods and ingredients for you to refer to--

I don't know if you get this in Canada, but I use Smart Balance Margarine. It is marked gluten free right on the label.

There are many great food products and ideas in the Foods, Products, Shopping and Medicine Forum. Read through that and the Recipe Forum--and feel free to ask any questions you have. Good luck :)

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mettedkny! Your ttg-igg numbers are elevated but what about your ttg-iga numbers? Were your ttg-iga numbers elevated at your original diagnosis? The reason I ask is because elevated igg antibody test scores are more likely to be caused by something else besides a celiac reaction to gluten. The ttg-iga test is considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. But some people are seronegative for the iga celiac tests, particularly if they are iga deficient. If they are iga deficient, the igg tests can be helpful. Have you ever had a "total iga" test run to check for iga deficiency?

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Not sure where to start - been diagnosed for 17 years, and for 16 years my bloodwork has been perfect. Last May I started on HRT (estrogen patch & progesterone pill) for post menopausal symptoms, and to help with mild osteoporosis. In June my Gliadin IgG numbers suddenly went up to 59 (from previously being below 5 for 16 years). Did a deep dive on the progesterone pill manufacturer (Aurobindo) to ensure that the medication IS gluten free - and was told multiple times that there is no gluten in the pills. The pill is the ONLY thing that has changed, and my son, who is also celiac has perfect numbers.  Scoured my life to try and find out where the gluten could be coming from and the only thing I found was a tea I drank that had "possible wheat straw" (had been drinking this tea for about 5 years with no issues - and was confirmed by the manufacturer that their tea is certified gluten-free despite the "straw") - cut the tea out thinking that it MUST be the tea. Repeated the blood test 3 months later and it dropped to 55 - not indicative that the gluten has been found and removed from my diet. Had bloodwork done again yesterday and it is now 95 😳 I am completely floored. WHERE is it coming from??? I am SO careful. Would NEVER cheat, don't eat out and like I said, my son has NO issues and his number is 3 (as of yesterday). Has anyone had a problem with progesterone pills? It is the only variable that I can think of, but how do I prove that it is the problem without discontinuing to take the HRT (which I really need for post menopausal symptoms, sleep, anxiety, brain fog and hot flashes).

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      That’s a good thought, I didn’t think of that aspect of waiting longer! Thanks

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for reporting back @Nicbent35! You seem to understand the options and the risks. So, it is a decision you will just have to make. But you don't have to make it right away. You might consider keeping her gluten-free for a while yet. I would give it six months before considering adding gluten back in. Make sure the improvement you are seeing is due to removing gluten and not something else that will pass such that you see a reversion to former behavior and symptoms.

      Difficulty with doctors

      By trents · Posted

      If you have been on a strict gluten-free diet for several years, it would be normal for testing to show no evidence of celiac disease. No gluten, no inflammation. No inflammation, no antibodies and healing of the small bowel lining would result.  Personally, I think the doc gave you bad advice and I feel confident that trialing a return to gluten consumption would not be the advice that the vast majority of GI docs would give you. If I were you, I would seek a second opinion before resuming gluten consumption.
