I Was Doing So Good

UGH I was doing so good w/keeping wheat and gluten out of my diet until tonight. I was making meatloaf used gluten/wheat free corn flake instead of bread crumbs. Then I add Lipton beefy onion soup mix. Never thought to look just used it out of habit. Now I'm paying the price. I however did dicover that the goodvalue brand tomatoe sauce is gluten free .

I have yet another question stupid one at that. I'm so lost on this whole wheat free gluten free thing. If its gluten free it can strill have wheat in it right? and visa versa right? I read then read more and end up confussing myself. :unsure:

Gluten free means there is no wheat, barley, rye, or oats*.

Wheat free means there is no wheat.

So, wheat free may still have barley, rye, or oats - which are sources of gluten.

But gluten free cannot have wheat.

(*this depends on the manufacturer - you still have to read the ingredient list.)

As for the soup mix... It happens. You're in the process of breaking a habit developed over years, if not decades, and one that you see EVERYONE else around you use. This is why it is important to ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL, but it can be a difficult habit to break, not checking what's in the ingredients of what you're eating. One solution is to only bring into the home foods that are gluten free, or segregate those that are not gluten free to a small area of the kitchen that you do not use. (In my house, it is "The shelf of evil." I can't reach it anyway. :D)

(It's kinda disturbing when you think about it, but it is a habit we've all exhibited to some degree, and there's something to be said, psychologically, to have some level of safety in the most basic of human needs.)

Lipton Onion Dried Soup is the ONLY Lipton dry soup that is gluten free. Onion Beef is not. I use the onion alot and have not problems.

You can still cook, but only the Lipton Onion.....and still have the same taste. Sorry that you are feeling bad.

There is a steep learning curve with this diet. It is hard to learn new cooking techniques and substitute ingredients for things you have made for years. I'm sure you will learn from every mistake and it will happen less and less. I got myself sick all the time in the beginning and now it only happens if I eat out - never at home.

Hope you feel better.

I have done that before, use something and then remember the label afterwards. It's just a habit that we all have to develop. Hope you feel better soon.

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make.

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
