ARe hewbrew national hotdogs gluten-free? I read the label and thought they were, but not sure? Also, my husband and daughter are on a gluten-free diet. He says that since he has gone gluten-free he feels like he is more sensitive than ever to gluten, has anyone else had this experience? also, my daughter is taking swimming lessons and both days so far after she has a belly sticking way out and uncomfortable, she did go to a bday party on saturday and have cake with gluten, that was 2-3 days ago, could it be this? I thought maybe she was swallowing air when going underwater or swallowing water. This is puzzling me.

Yes, they are. So is the deli salami, polish sausages and saurkraut.

The hot dogs are gluten-free.

Is your daughter Celiac? If so, she shouldn't be eating "regular" cake. That was probably what made her bloated. Many times, gluten reactions don't show up right away. It's individual to the person.

The next party, you could make her a gluten-free cupcake in the same flavor/frosting color, etc. as the birthday cake and send that along with her.

Your husband is experiencing what many of us do--the longer some people are on a gluten-free diet, the more sensitive they become to the smallest amounts. I'm that way, myself. :)

My daughters test were inconclusive, but my pedi suggested we try the gluten-free diet this summer, she has had a positive response. We think my husband may have it to, and he has had a harder time going gluten free, but he said the other day, that all his life he ate tons of gluten and it did not bother him very much, now since he has been gluten free if he has a little it upsets his stomach, it doesn't make much sense. I think he is having trouble following the diet because following a restricted diet is difficult when you have not actually recieved the diagnosis of celiac disease. Sooner or later one or both will be tested because if we don't have to be gluten free life would be much easier.

I am not celiac but I do have food allergies. I realized on my own that eggs were a problem but I never realized I was also allergic to almonds and dairy. Now almonds are pretty easy to avoid. But it's very easy to accidentally ingest some dairy, especially when dining out. And all it takes is a small speck to make me really ill. All my life, I ate cheese and never realized it was a problem. Looking back I can see how I wasn't really well. I almost always felt sick to my stomach and just thought this was normal. I thought everyone felt this way. I can remember seeing people smile and wondering how they could be smiling when their stomachs hurt so badly. Ha!

Hebrew national are GOOD too! But alas...I haven't been able to find a type that's soy free.

My bet is the cake made her bloated. Poor thing!

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
