Rice Dream milk substitute was a surprise to me!

Fortunately, their frozen vanilla "ice cream" substitute is okay, though.

Nivea and Pam (cooking spray) are not very gluten free friendly. I recently called both and they said:

1. Nivea - "we do not require our - oh dang the word is on the tip of my tongue - their suppliers to say where the ingredients come from ie. hydrolyzed protein...only food has to follow a law..." I told them Dove follows the International cosmetic_____ and require their suppliers to say what grain an ingredient is derived from. So I use Dove too.

***Dove sensitive skin has gluten! I sent my husband out hunting for it and after he got home and gave it to me I read the ingredients and it has I believe it is wheat germ in it. I was totally bummed but actually the Pro-Age and the rest are just fine.***

2. Pam - ConAgra foods said "...read the package and we use wheat in a lot of products!..."

This has always bothered me. How could the frozen stuff NOT have gluten? It would seem they would use the same "milk" and turn it into the frozen stuff. I don't let my daughter have it because I think it is suspect.

Some sorbets. I can't remember the brand but it contains glucose syrup derived from wheat.

Things at some fast food places such as tortilla strips and chicken breast.

How about the glue that holds the toilet paper on the roll! :blink:

Bird seed for the outside bird feeder. (So busy looking for nuts that I missed the gluten notice and got SICK!!!)

Dog food and dog bones

Minute Maid, Dole, and Tropicanna juices (Only 100% juice drinks are gluten-free. Pure OJ is fine, but Banana & Pineapple OJ is not gluten-free. Drives me crazy!)

Tea. Had to toss a box of lemon tea once. Good thing I looked.

Other people's cosmetics. Men with an unsupportive wife/girlfriend who doesn't check her lipsticks, etc. probably have a lot of problems.

CAN WE ALL PUT DOWN THE BRANDS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT? AND IF THERE IS A SAFE BRAND ie. paper towels/toilet paper...

I never thought about stickers or fingerpaints and am now totally stressed out b/c my 6 1/2 y/o has celiac disease and of course she uses all that in school and home. I feel like such an idiot!!! :o

So anyway if we could get a list of our own and share, of things that are foresaken or are safe for us. I have a 10+ page word doc of info that I have shared with new celiacs and have added some of the stuff I read today on this post...BUT not to beat a dead beat but lets so naming brands if that is possible.

Thank you and take care,

as far as i know, there is no gluten in glucose syrup from wheat - have read this on numerous "safe foods" sites from coeliac assns around the world.

Kissing. If your wife/husband/significant other eats gluten, they can gluten you.

Fake nails. I got a reaction from getting "pink and whites" (french style fake nails). Never did figure out if it was the acrylic powder or the nail polish that was causing the reaction because of the language barrier.

Hi, I noticed you said nuts and seeds, i've never heard this before, how come it has gluten? Thanks

some nuts/seeds are "dusted" with wheat flour or barley flour (like sunflower seeds) - I think the purpose is to keep them dry and from sticking together.

Grill charcoal with gluten surprised me (would that be Kingsford brand?).

Hot dogs (unsure of brands as we don't eat them anyway)

tomato and spaghetti sauces (my Italian grandmother never used thickener of any sort in her home-made sauce)

TOILET PAPER AND PAPER TOWELS ARE OF NO GLUTEN CONCERN. This has been discussed at great length in the past.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea). I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. ...

      EMA Result

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done?

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.
