Ketchup And Dextrose

Hi there,

I am new to the boards and do not have a confirmed diagnosis as of yet, I am still waiting for the bloodwork to come back. However, I feel better and my symptoms go away with time on a Gluten-free Casein-free diet, so I am going to stick to it regardless of the results. Anyway, I had Heinz tomato ketchup yesterday and feel awful today. Is there something in there that I can't have? It looked to be safe. Also, I made Alexia potato wedges and there was dextrose in there. Is that a problem? Thanks for any tips.

Dextrose is fine, it is a fancy name for sugar. Heinz Ketchup is also gluten-free. The other thought is Cheese. It can be a problem for some people. I react to dairy almost the same way as Gluten.

If you are new to the Gluten free diet, it may just be that this is one of those days. While you are healing, there are good days and bad days and sometimes they are not related to what you ate. Frustrating, but that is how it goes. I have been gluten-free since Jan. and I still have a few days like this.

Well, ketchup may contain corn syrup, and the dextrose is a sugar too, and also a good chance of being from corn if I'm not mistaken. That may or may not be what is bothering you. But, perhaps an even more striking link between the two is that tomatoes and potatoes are both nightshades. Many on this board have problems with them, including myself. A piece of plain baked potato or fresh tomato might tell you for certain, as long as the rest of what you eat for several days before/after is certain to be safe for you.

Hope you narrow it down soon.

Welcome to the board!

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      Gluten Free Oats

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?
