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.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
