I read once on the list of food that celiacs must not have any intake of... And a listed item was "Malt".. And some other lists show that one is allowed to have intake of "Malt".. :huh: I once was reading a lable for one of the gluten-free items and noticed that it contains Gluten!! How come?? So,, if anyone could advise me what to do and whether it is safe or not?

Thnx! B)

Okay, I'm guessing you mean it contained Malt?

Everything I've read has said Malt isn't gluten free. Think it's made from wheat? I know if something has "Malt Flavoring" I put it back.

Having said that, I don't claim to know everything or be an expert, so maybe it's possible there is a gluten-free malt out there.

So,, if anyone could advise me what to do and whether it is safe or not?

The best advice I think anyone can give you here is, call the company. Find out what they mean by malt, and what is in it. Pain in the butt to do, yes, but the best way to stay gluten-free. And if the company can't give you a straight answer or aren't sure, then assume it isn't gluten-free.

Good luck. =)

If you see malt or malt flavoring you have to assume it's made from barley because it almost always is. However, you can call the company and check. You can amlt any grain out there, and I've run into a product or two where the malt was from corn.

Thnx alot for your replies.. So I assume from your replies that is it safe to eat malt if it was written on the item I want to buy that it is gluten-free... Right? B)

If the item says it is gluten-free, that means the malt comes from something other than barley.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
