Anyone Have A Database They Can Share?

Hi,

Does anyone have a database that they use to manage gluten-free food lists? I have purchased the list from Clan Tompson before and it does not fit my need. I was looking for a database (Access file) that I can add foods to and delete foods I don't need. I do not have regular access to the Internet, so checking online before I go out is not a good option.

Any thoughts?

I believe that the Celiac Sprue Foundation does (celiac.org I think). It costs about $40. I haven't bought it because ingredients often change and I have regular access to the internet. Food companies will often give you a list of gluten-free products if you call them...or they will tell you that they plainly listed with the ingredients are clearly listed.

My personal method, for what its worth.

I don't trust lists. I keep two things in mind when I purchase products:

1. There is a list of companies that clearly states it will list any gluten source, and will not hide them in natural/artificial flavors, mfs, etc. I keep that list with me. The list covers A LOT of products, because so many smaller companies are owned by bigger companies. I would say that the vast majority of the time, my grocery choices fall in one of these companies.

2. Food Labeling Law of 2006 requires that all food with wheat be clearly identified.

This makes food buying much easier for me. I make a regular grocery list, and I show up at the store and shop with confidence. I know that for tacos, I buy McCormick's taco seasoning. We bought lawry's marinades the other night for the first time because they are a Unilever company. Etc. etc. etc.

hi,

where did you get that list from?

The Site Index (via the link on the left side of the page) has a list of safe and forbidden foods. Here's a direct link: https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid...-02107504974.09

I believe member NoGluGirl also has a list, which she's posted in various threads.

No, I'm talking about a separate list of companies that state they will list gluten, RG. I purposefully DON'T use lists of products, generally, unless its on a company's website, etc.

This list has circulated on the board, and people have updated and added to it, and it is really helpful. Some of the companies I have contacted myself, to verify, and all that I have personally contacted have said they will clearly list all gluten. Other members have contacted them as well. I'm sure there are more companies, too.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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/
