Sauces

I have got the hang of the gluten-free basics when it comes to choosing food, but it's possible that I'm still consuming stealthy gluten. Do sauces commonly contain it? I'm talking mainly about pasta sauces, tomato and basil, things like that. I can see no ingredients which jump out at me as being likely to contain it, and where there is allergy advice there is no mention of gluten. The same goes for the flavoured rice I've been getting.

Flavored Rice as in Rice a Roni or Lipton Mixes are not gluten free. I am not sure that is what you are talking about though. I use Wegmans Pasta Sauce which is very good. It is marked gluten free and there are several different flavors.

The vast majority of pasta sauces are gluten-free. Flavored rices are another matter. Many are gluten-free, but you definitely have to check them.

Most pasta sauces are gluten free. All classico red & white sauces are gluten-free and Newman's Own has a gluten-free list on their website under FAQ. As for quick side dishes Most Lundenburg boxed side dishes are gluten free and do are many of WalMart's boxed potato dishes.

note the key words in these posts - "almost all" "most" "many"

that is *NOT EVERYTHING*

so you have to read the ingredients on *EVERYTHING*

just because it's 'pasta sauce', don't assume that it won't have gluten, even if 95% of them don't. because you might pick up one of those 5% ones and gluten yourself. (I can't name specifics, as I tend to not buy them but make them myself.)

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
