Hey everybody.... i just need some help with what I can and cannot eat... getting frusterated... have had a week full of sickness and I don't know why :S

Can I have ketchup, icing sugar, baking powder and baking soda? What about rice krispies? I thought I could have them, but I just read something that said I might not be able to... does anyone get sick from rice krispies? Fries from restaurants are okay right? Any help would be great.. thanks!

I'll help with what I can:

Rice Krispies are a big no-no. They have malt, which is from barley, in them, so they are out. Kinnikinnick and Erewon (sp?) both make a gluten free version that you may want to try.

I use Domino's confectioners, regular, and brown sugar, which are all gluten-free.

Rumford baking powder and Clabber girl baking powder are both gluten-free, and one says it on the label (I can't remember which...)

Arm and Hammer baking soda is gluten-free.

I don't eat ketchup, so I've never checked (I personally don't like it; I'm weird that way :)

Also, fries from restaurants can be okay, but you need to check about cross contamination. Oftentimes, they are fried with other gluten containing foods, so you should always ask.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions!

Most ketchups are gluten free. The main question used to be if vinegar in ketchup was safe, and unless it is malt vinegar, it is generally safe. So ketchup is *usually* safe but you need to check.

As mentioned, Rice Krispies are a no no.

Some fries can have wheat in them, or they can be fried in contaminated oil, as mentioned above.

The best way to learn about this diet is to learn to read labels. Learn to identify what words mean "gluten". There are good lists on celiac.com

Do you need more help interpreting ingredients? What is on your list of "not-safe" ingredients that you know to look for? Which ones do you have questions about? This is your best way to know what is/isn't safe, is to learn to read labels. Let us know if you'd like help with that.

You can't have rice krispies unless you get a gluten-free brand. Most of the rice krispies and genereic brands have malt in them. I know Barbara's makes one and there is another brand, but I can't think of it. I have only found them in health food stores or online. If you want a main stream cereal cocoa and fruity pebbles are both gluten free and can be found in most grocery stores.

I notice you are from Canada .. Roger's icing sugar is gluten free as is Magic baking powder and baking soda is safe.

Nature Path krispie rice is gluten free. Most ketchup is fine, especially Heinz. French fries may be and quite frequently are fried in the same oil as breaded chicken etc., so are not gluten free.

Some of us do eat McDonald fries, but there is a debate on that. It's a personal decision. In the US, they use something derived from Wheat. In Canada they do not, so are considered safe.

You are open to Cross Contamination any time you eat out.

Also beware of baking powders and such that you used before you went gluten-free, they may have been cross contaminated by you :ph34r: , back when it didn't matter.

With most of the foods it also depends on the brand. Some brands make foods glutenfree, while the same food from another brand can contain gluten.

Everything said on here is fine and actually everything already was said. So, sorry, when I repeat myself, just my two cents :P . I wouldn't eat rice krispies, unless they are made from a brand that makes glutenfree food in general, like the Kinnickinnik ones (already said on here). Also, yes, the Heinz Ketchup is glutenfree, but to my knowledge only the normal one, not the ones with different other spices in 'em (I don't know how many other ones Heinz Ketchup has, but I heard only the normal version is glutenfree). Baking powder and baking soda, ah, in the US I us Arm & Hammer. Don't know, if they are glutenfree or if you have them in Canada. Icing sugar, I use domino. With french fries you need to know, if they are made in a separate fryer, that they don't use for any food with breadcrumbs or flour... be prepared that servers look at you like you have two heads. Maybe Canadian Karen would know more about the different foods in Canada, she's always so knowledgeable :lol: . And she still lives in Canada, right???

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
