Is All Malt Barley?

I was trying to find some mainstream cereals that DD could eat, but most things had "malt flavoring" as an ingredient. I know barley malt is a definite no, but I didn't know if all malt was barley or if there are safe malt flavorings.

No, not all malt is from barley, it can be from corn or rice or other grains, but it's usually barley if not otherwise specified on an ingredient list. You can always call the company, of course, to try to verify. Mainstream cereals, however, outside of, I think, fruity pebbles and one other thing, are out. Some of the specialty cereals are easier to find than others, though.

Agreed---I would not eat malt unless I knew definitely it was something else...because it is very often/usually barley

Most is from barley so don't eat it unless you call to make sure

Barley malt does make a difference in the taste and these companies have done tests showing folks prefer the product with the barley malt. I know from experience that beer with barley malt just flat out has a fuller, more satisfying flavor than beers with other malts. I do like a couple of gluten-free beers, but it's still not the same to me.

I also have been to a local Japanese restaurant where they were EXTREMELY accommodating about letting me bring gluten-free soy sauce, but only as long as we had a full table of folks I knew. The owner said they had tried making food with gluten-free soy sauce but that people were immediately able to tell the difference. They had to switch back. Still, when I brought in my wheat-free San-J the chef at our table was very impressed. "This is very good quality," he said.

Barley malt adds to the flavor because it has MSG in it. There is also malt extract and malt flavoring to look out for. I've avoided MSG for 20 years because I'm extremely sensitive to it and never knew barley malts had it. And I drank beer quite often. Its no wonder I never felt good. :P:P

If an ingredient says "rice malt" is it safe?

As far as cereals go, my DD likes Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, Dora Stars and Trix.

Rice malt is safe.

      I would hesitate to recommend tetracycline or any antibiotic as a long term therapy option because of the negative impact it has on the gut biome. I took it for years as a teenager for acne and I'm convinced it was a contributing factor in my having developed celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt.   I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3.  I haven't taken the tetracycline with it.   It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands of years.  It is absorbed into the skin better than creams made from plants.  It helps prevent or lesson scarring.  See the study below. Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide "The combination of tetracycline and nicotinamide can be recommended as a useful therapy for patients where dapsone is not available or for patients who do not tolerate dapsone." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/

      First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

      Hey yall! I am dealing with a new diagnosis. I have been sick in some sort of way for 10 years. I am 22. I can’t remember a time in the last decade I have not had some strange symptom. This last year it got way worse. I lost 40 pounds and had to drop out of school. I ended up getting and endo and blood tests and got positive results for celiac. I am looking for advice of ANY type. I am vegan so this is a big adjustment to add this to my diet. Thansk fro the help.
