Being so new to this diet I'm still having problems figuring out the hidden gluten. How do you go about getting gluten-free lists for companies? Who has them and do they cost. I know Publix will send you one, kroger doesn't have one, trader joes does, as does whole foods,Kraft doesn't. I just don't even know where to start. Is pantene safe for hair care, what make ups are safe. I've already checked my meds and they're all good as far as I can tell if the list is up to date. I don't have the money to spend on one of those computer programs or I would. I'll trying to order celiac disease for dummies this week for a little help.

Kraft and ConAgra will always list. Chilli's has a menu line, or at their restaurants. Hormel has a very extensive list. Wendy's has an online list. Panara bread also has a list.

Arby's

Boston Market

Chic-fil-A

www.chickfila.com

Chilli's

www.chilis.com

Dairy Queen

www.dairyqueen.com

Denny's

www.dennys.com

www.tylenol.com

Ingrediences do change from time to time, so make sure your list is current until you get the hang of reading labels.

Hope this is a start.

Personally, I don't trust gluten-free lists. I do trust the manufacturers who state that they will clearly, in plain English, list any gluten ingredients on the label--that way, all I need to do is read.

gluten-free lists tend to become outdated pretty quickly as ingredients and suppliers can change. If something is not from a company that I know will disclose gluten, I always call and check.

Recently I found this to be equally important with non-edible items like cosmetics and personal care products. I went by the label of a company that I was not familiar with and ended up sick for weeks using a product on my face that contained hidden wheat.

If I had called and checked, I would have spared myself the illness. I'm embarassed to have made such a stupid mistake, but I hope others can benefit by the information. *Always check if you're not sure*. ;)

I wish there was an easier way around this--but it does get easier as you go along.

There is a list of companies who will list any gluten clearly on the packaging--psawyer and happygirl, I know, have these and if they don't see this and post, you could PM one of them for it.

Kraft and General Mills will list their gluten. You should check their websites to see all of the brands they produce. ConAgra has never given me a clear answer, and it has changed every time I have called in the past few months, so I personally avoid ConAgra. I figure that if their employees don't know what they're talking about, then they must not have a solid , well-communicated gluten policy! <_< Other than those brands, I call around and go to websites. Kroger does have a list now but it's pretty useless. Safeway has a fantastic list, they will email it to you if you call them. Hormel, Newman's Own, Frito-Lay and many other companies have lists online. Kettle chips will also list all of their ingredients, and only one flavor of chips containing gluten (Cheddar Beer) is produced in their facility, and when batch tested it doesn't even test positive for gluten. I do have some lists but I never use them anymore. It's easier and safer to go with brands that you know or information verified directly from the company. I did use them when I was just getting started, and at that time they were very useful.

If anyone does want the lists that I have then PM me your email address. There are also many lists that you can purchase. I purchased the Clan Thompson software, but once you get the hang of the diet, I don't feel that it's worth it.

I agree with Patti. I rely more on companies that will clearly disclose gluten, and then, companies websites if it is safe or not. Lists that people post can change very easily.

Arrowhead Mills, Aunt Nelly's, Balance, Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry, Bertoli, Betty Crocker, Blue Bunny, Breyers, Campbells, Cascadian Farms, Celestial Seasonings, ConAgra, Country Crock, Edy's, General Mills, Good Humor, Green Giant, Haagen Daz, Hellman's, Hershey, Hormel, Hungry Jack, Jiffy, Knorr, Kozy Shack, Kraft, Lawry's, Libby's, Lipton, Martha White, Maxwell House, McCormick, Nabisco, Nestle, Old El Paso, Ortega, Pillsbury, Popsicle, Post, Progresso, Ragu, Russell Stover, Seneca Foods, Skippy, Smucker, Stokely's, Sunny Delight, T Marzetti, Tyson, Unilever, Wishbone, Yoplait, Zatarain's.

The above are companies that have a clear policy on listing gluten, and not hiding it.

This list shows that lawry's will disclose gluten on it's labels - that is NOT true. I was making myself sick for months by using their seasoning salt last year because the ingredients appeared to be okay....

I only discovered it was not okay by something someone posted on this board....

Just a word of caution... :)

Lawry's is a Unilever brand and they do have a gluten disclosure policy. Can you please provide the details about what is wrong with the product, and the source of your information. I am not saying that you are wrong, but "something someone posted" is too vague to follow up. I use Lawry's seasoned salt regularly, and have never had a problem.

hi! if you are short of money a good idea its to take books about celiacs from your library (celiacs for dummies, gluten free bible, etc) if they dont have them, they can probably order from another library.

also try walmart, a lot of their name brand Great value products are gluten free a the label clarly says and they are good quality and not expensives at all!

a few of them are: hamburguer patties, bacon, ham, cheese, cheetos like snacks, olives, pickles, bouillon, instant mashed potatoes, pasta souces, alfredo sauce, etc!!

hope you can use this tip!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
