I don't know if this link was inserted right but if it works I thought it would be nice to keep handy when you have a question about certain ingredients. I thought it was interesting what it said about Casein.

I haven't read through the whole chart yet, but I found the very first listing to be odd. It says that Albumin is "a component (protein) from the serum of animal blood"? Although this is technically true, albumin is also known as egg whites. If you see this listed as food ingredient, it likely means that egg whites are in the product.

unfortunately, its got some bad information.

not every celiac needs to avoid casein. it is *not* so structurally similar that all celiacs react to it (in fact, most research does *not* support cross-reactivity theory on these two proteins.)

additionally, not all hvp is bad. hydrolyzed vegetable protein can be made from corn or soy, for instance, and be perfectly safe for celiacs. it's one of those things that you have to check, though most cases will be labeled if it's bad for celiacs because wheat is far more common that barley, rye, or oat.

Just wanted to mention that Albumin is a blood protein also. It is what my diagnosis is based on - I have a deficiency of this blood protein due to 'spillage' and it makes up a large portion of the blood plasma in humans. My diagnosis is a kidney disease. :)

Thank you for the clarification. This list is of food additives, however, so I question how often one would find blood protein, as opposed to egg white, in commercially prepared food products.

True that. I don't think blood is a common additive. ;)

edited: I'm a little slow. Missed the technically part - I'm guilty of this much of the time. I must learn to listen better.

Thanks Tiffany for clearing this up. It didn't sound right to me and I'm sure we would of heard more about it by now if that were true.

Beware, much of the information on the list at that weblink is inaccurate.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the community @MCAyr! One thing you need to know is that in order for celiac disease diagnostic testing to be valid, you must not have been on a gluten-free diet already. The first stage of celiac disease testing involves looking for the blood antibodies that are produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining. Once you eliminate gluten, the antibodies begin to disappear and it takes weeks or months of being back on normal amounts of gluten for them to build up to detectable levels again.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By MCAyr · Posted

      Hi currently being investigated for celiac; suspected dermatitis herpetiformis, low calcium and vit D, stomach discomfort and 2 episodes of awful stomach pain (docs think maybe triggered by pregnancy)  Went gluten-free for 5 weeks was feeling great then last week accidentally had some in a sweet! Followed by 2 days of absolute hell and excruciating stomach pain and cramping below right of belly button. Since then the really bad pain has gone, but I've had sore to touch above my belly button and think I can feel a lump, was painful for a couple of days to point I couldn't sleep on sides. Docs palpated few days before I could feel lump, and felt nothing.  Anyone had a hernia they didn't know about until their gluten reaction inflamed it? Or is this just another lovely gluten sensitivity symptom?  Many thanks

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      7yo struggling!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.
