I seem to handle some products better than others. Rye bread(rye flour only) doesn't bother me. On the other vhand, certain spices on meat really get my attention with a gurd reaction. Is this a trial and error process? how do othres cope with this. i try to stay gluten=free but am not always perfect. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago and my problems with diet, gurd reactions,bloating etc have been significantly reduced.

If you are still eating Rye you are not gluten free. That is one item that must be avoided. Most likely there is wheat in the spices so that could be the problem.

Rye is a gluten flour. You should not eat this unless you just have a wheat intolerance. If you are gluten intolerant stay away from wheat, rye, barley and oats (unlesses certified gluten free), spelt, kamut, and triticale. Some spice mixes can have wheat in them. Also some chickens or turkeys are injected with fillers which could be wheat. Lunch meats can also have gluten. Try applegate farms meats. Your best bet is to get your meats at a natural food store.

Hi Emmett, You need to stop eating rye - it has gluten even though you think you are not reacting to it. Gluten for you- and the rest of us on this message board who are Celiacs or gluten intolerant - is poison. I know it is VERY difficult to give up the foods you love to eat, or the foods you think you can still get away with eating. I encourage you to stop eating rye, and then see how you feel after a few weeks.

Going completely gluten free is a huge challenge, especially when there seems to be no significant reaction to certain kinds of gluten. Like you, I ate only rye for a few months before I was finally diagnosed as a Celiac. My symptoms were less, but not gone. When I finally cut out rye, too, I started feeling much better. Perhaps the gluten in rye is different than the gluten in wheat - perhaps it is "milder" for lack of a better word; those more familiar with the gluten protein in grains can perhaps answer that better than I can. But even "mild" gluten is still gluten for you and me.

Good luck! And hang in there... There IS life after going completely gluten free... :P:)

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
