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???

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
