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.)

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
