I have found much wonderful information on this board on what to avoid and some great cosmetic and cleaning suggestions. But is there a shopping guide/list that I can buy or a good on - line link to one? I have Clan Thompsons. I know the lists are not be all, end all, but they do provide a good basis in concert with me reading lables, especially when you are on the go.

I don't know if you all have this, here are two responses I have received from manufacturers (which I didn't already see on the boards, but apologize if they are duplicate): (though I would share some, since I'm asking to be shared with)

From Sugarfoods regarding 'Njoy Coffee Creamer:

Good morning Christina,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Non-Dairy Creamer. Gluten is not an ingredient, but it may contain low-level amounts due to cross-contamination. Therefore, we cannot certify that Non-Dairy Creamer is gluten free.

Please do not hesitate to contact this office if additional information is required.

Thank you.

From Mariani (dried fruit) - but I must also ask them where their citric acid comes from since I have just learned that it can be gluten containing-be cautious with this I have had no problem, but I want you all to be safe, here is their statement anyway:

Dear Chris,

Thanks for your inquiry on our products. All of our products are gluten free. The grain source for the starch we use is rice. Our products are not allergen free, so if you have a peanut allergy I would recommend that you do not eat our products.We hope this information has been helpful, but if you have any other questions please get in touch with me.

Thank You,

There is a huge confirmed products list on delphi forums:

Open Original Shared Link

Just scroll down to the confirmed products list and there are sections on just about everything you would want! You can download this and save as a word file (I think you have to unzip).

Hope this helps. I find the delphi forum to be very informational.

MAC cosmetics are all gluten-free. They are available at MAC stores in malls throughout the USA and Canada. If you are a perfomer, make-up artist, etc, you get a 30% discount on products there.

Wet n Wild are gluten-free, also (and much cheaper than MAC). They are easy to find in any drugstore.

best wishes,

kat

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
