I use hidden valley ranch dressing. I'm a butter eater! Way bad for you but it's what I splurge on!

https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-48107553547.11

This is the list of what to look for in teh ingredient lists on teh back of teh package!

Kraft will always list gluten on the package....also walmart store brand is really good about listing anything too(most of their products actually say gluten-free on them)

Breakfast: gluten-free cereal, fruit, banana muffins(I make these all the time)

Good Luck!

Not sure if you live in an area with Wegmans, it's a grocery store in NY,PA,NJ,MD and VA. It labels all its store brands gluten free too. I buy lots of things there. So usually I get their brand of salad dressing and BBQ sauce..as well as other things.

I just want to add that anyone that does have a Wegmans to shop at, that online under www.wegmans.com you can find the store list of Wegman brand foods lists that have their products that are gluten free. I have printed it and it is 29 pages long. Also their food products also have a label guide on the front of those products for lactose intolerant, gluten free, healthy heart, etc. This was helpful to me in the beginning when I was learning how to shop for food for myself. I hope others find this helpful as well. But always check labels as a precaution.

Sorry I live in Squamish, BC and I have found a Whole foods about an hour away in VAncouver, we live in s small town...well, its getting bigger since Whistler got the 2010 olympics. But I have checked Walmart and found a few things. I have the Kraft BBQ sauce already, but I have to do somemore research. I have not purchased much or tried any baking b/c I am waiting for my Biopsy results, which I get this week. from what I have researched, I should be okay as Iam not a flour eater at all...never eat bread or anything like that. I do however eat a bit of junk food and will have to change that, mind you I have already researched into the goodies and found alot of the stuff I like is gluten free, so I am excited there. I am going to try and get my kids to eat less gluten so if they come down with it then it wont be so hard to switch them.

Thanks.

If you can get is, Saz's barbeque sauce is wonderful and it's gluten-free. I believe Sweet Baby Rays is as well.

Just remember that "flour" (as you listed above) hides in soooo many items your would never think have wheat flour in them. I glutened my poor DH by giving him soy sauce (wheat was the 1st or 2nd thing in the ingreditent list). So it hides in places you'd never know. I'm much better at reading labels now!

Pamela's makes an awesome pancake/waffle/baking mix that I cook weekend breakfast's from and my DH also has cereal - watch because there are so many main stream cereals becoming gluten-free (Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Trix), etc. He also like the frozen Van's waffles. Blueberry especially - but again - not all of their weaffles are gluten-free.

I hope this helps!

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
