Couple Foods In Question

Hi! I'm new to this - 1st post yesterday - trying gluten free - on day 3

I'm wondering about a couple different foods if they do/do not have gluten or CC

Tylenol - or more specifically generic (Meijer Brand) acitometophin (sp?)

Wild Oats Corn Tortillas - 100% Corn but aren't labeled gluten-free

Coffee-Mate Blueberry Cobbler Powdered Creamer - my job has it, been drinking it, seems ok, but want to be sure

I've been struggling with a bunch of GI/emotional issues for over a year - 1st was emotional, then more and more it was GI - anxiety, irritability, depression, fatigue, explosive diarrhea, gas, bloating, "foamy" full feeling with weird "non-saliva" foam in mouth, etc, etc

I recently had an endoscopy and colonoscopy with blood and biopsy, previously had blood/stool/urine tests from general doc - all negative for everything - still have a "breathe test" for bacteria to go through.

It seems weird from what I've read, but its only been a couple days, but I woke up this morning with the clearest head I've had in months and my body feels better - could this just be wishful thinking/placebo effect?

Coffee Mate is gluten free. Tylenol is, but I don't know what "Meijer Brand" is. I live in Canada, but I think Wild Oats has a gluten-free list on their website.

If the Nestle CoffeMate is gluten free it should say so somewhere on the package. I use the liquid creamers they make and those say gluten free on the label. If that one doesn't I would call to double check just to be on the safe side.

Brand name tylenol is gluten-free, generics are risky and you need to call the company to be sure, have the bottle in your hand when you do as they will most likely want the UPC. Generic companies can change binders at will so better to be safe than sorry.

With the tortilla call the company, if this is a company that usually labels their gluten-free stuff and this does not carry that label then it is really important to check. I shop at Wegmans, they label all of their gluten-free stuff and if it does not have that label I know it is not safe, even if another package size does have the label. With them this means that the unlabeled size is packaged or produced by a company that can not assure the statis or has a high risk of CC. I see this mostly with nuts and pickles. I love Wegmans for this although I found it confusing at first.

I have called and verified Meijer's Acetominiphen (sp?) and I use that all the time. Meijer has a gluten-free list online here:

Hope that helps! :)

Thanks!!! Thank you for your help. I've been looking into the Wild Oats gluten-free more. It kinda sucks because my gluten-free works there and always brings home some sort of soup or cookie or something that they serve/make in house & that stuff is harder to track down gluten-free or not.

Creamy soups (like a cream of mushroom or clam chowder) will probably have some sort of flour or thickener in them, I'm assuming

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency. Your symptoms seem really familiar. Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac. A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies. Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms. Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized...

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

Now I’ve learned these other symptoms—that I have but attributed to other issues—could also be related to celiac disease:  fatigue joint pain canker sores numbness or tingling in hands or feet difficulty with coordination anemia headaches neutropenia I never dreamed in a million years she would consider celiac disease. It was a shock to me. It’s definitely not what I went to her for.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/

      What are your symptoms? What has brought you to the point where you sought celiac disease testing?
