Hi There!

We recently found out that 2 of our children have Celiac. We are trying to be good and have a gluten-free household.

Could you please give me a list of words of things that contain Gluten in them, but may not be obious to the newbie?

For example, malt. I would have never guessed that.... Please add others...

Thank you for your help~

On this home page there is a list of safe and a list of forgidden. That will give you a good start, but it is overwhelming.

Nini, will post and you can click on her "Newbie Survival Kit", now that's invaluable.

You don't say which country you are in. The Canadian Celiac Ass. has a 'pocket' size dictionary that you can take into the store. It has hundreds of things listed in alphabetical order, and will tell you if they are gluten free or not.

It's a wonderful tool

Gluten is a protien contained in wheat, barley, malt, rye and most oats due to a high rate of cross-contamination.

They key to remaining gluten free is to learn to read lables. It's a tough ride for a while, but it gets better.

Gluten often plays hide and seek, as it can hide in envelope glue, soy sauce, some spices, lipsticks, lotion, shampoos

Here are a few starters:

Vann's waffles (have gluten free variety)

La Choy Soy Sauce

Jiff Peanut Butter

All of Mrs. Dash seasonings are gluten free

McCormick Spieces will list wheat on their ingred. list

Stick to fish, meats, chicken, rice, potatoes, and fresh veggies.

Processed food is to difficult to tackel at the moment.

Gluten free bread is awful, except for Angies (a forum member), but few have her gift.

As I mentioned before, do a members search for "Nini" and click below her signature and you will be able to down load several files that, at this time you can't live without.

Good luck, and feel free to PM me at any time.

I would check on the safe and forbidden lists on this website, as someone else suggested.

Also, there are lists on the net of gluten-free candies and such, if you google something like gluten free candy lists... you can find them... important stuff to know for kids!

School / craft /art supplies are important to know about too... for instance, off the top of my head I know Play-Doh is bad, and so is tempura (or however it's spelled), powdered paint mix.

Crayons are supposed to be okay, and so is real clay and I believe I've read Silly Puddy is okay too. I'm sure there are lists of these children's supplies somewhere that could be googled and found, or possibly someone else here who knows can link you to them from here.

If you have pets... the children need to wash their hands after handling the pets' foods... most of them have gluten in them... I even saw it wheat middlings listed in rabbit chow. Most doggie treats, etc., have gluten in them too. So... these are additional things to keep in mind... that without realizing the potential for something to go into somebody's mouth or even just from being on their hands, could cause some trouble if you weren't aware of it.

- Malt (like you said)

- MODIFIED FOOD STARCH

- Hydolyzed Vegtable Protein

- Textured Vegetable Protein

- Brown Rice Syrup

sometimes (it's hard to be sure unless it specifically says what its made from) :

- Maltodextrin

- Food Starch

- Natural Flavorings

- Artificial Flavorings

All soy sauces have it, most salad dressings that are not clear, many meat seasonings (like teryaki), and most soups and gravies. Also, most candies have gluten. Some candies that doesnt have gluten are reeses, yorks, M+Ms (not all types though!!), mr goodbar. Most gum and carmel have gluten. Most plain chocolate is safe but NOT ALL plain chocolate is gluten free. Also, one would assume that all corn chips are safe...which is not the case. Strangely, some corn chips do have wheat flour

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test. In...

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow.
