I am new to teh gluten-Free Diet. I took my self of of it 6 or more month ago. I had chest pain for 21 years and no one could tell me why. I happened on an article giving the symptoms of Celiac and decided the to stop gluten. I am felling much better.

Back to my question. What about malt barley? I see that Rice crispies has it. Can I have them or is malt barley harmful?

I'm sorry, you will have to give up the Rice Crispies. Wheat, Rye, Barley, Malt and some Oat are not to be consummed if you are on a gluten free diet.

There are several, equally as good, options to Rice Crispies. So, it's not a loss, just a trade off.

Hi 'jstaib',

This is a reply from the Irish Coeliac Society to a similiar question.

.

It is very informative.

.

The products may not be labelled as containing gluten as the the protein in barley malt extract is hordein and not gluten, so in fact this labelling is correct. But malt/malt extract and malt flavouring are not suitable for Coeliacs.

EU Directive on Allergen Labelling

In order to achieve a high level of health protection for consumers and to guarantee their right to information, it must be ensured that consumers are appropriately informed as regards foodstuffs, the most common food allergens are found in a wide variety of processed foods. From 25th November of this year (06), it will mean that "if gluten is present in a foodstuff it will appear on the label".

The list of allergenic substances recognized by the Committee as causing problems are - Cereals containing gluten (i.e. wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, kamut or their hybridised strains), Mustard, Celery, Eggs, Milk, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Fish, Shellfish, Soybean, Sesame Seed, Sulphur Dioxide and Sulphites (>10mg/kg).

Foods sold unwrapped or wrapped on the premises will not be covered by this legislation. Foods that do not contain gluten e.g. orange juice, coconut milk, jam etc will not have a "gluten free" guarantee on the label.

Foods that are manufactured in an area adjacent to gluten containing products may be labelled "may contain traces of gluten" Foods that are at risk of being cross contaminated will be labelled "may contain traces of gluten" Starch-based liquid sweeteners derived from a wheat source - Glucose syrup, maltodextrin, dextrose, the labelling regulations currently, do not require the origin of the starch to be declared on the label, these liquid sweeteners are considered safe for coeliacs.

The Gluten Free Food List still plays a vital role in determining the gluten status of products, food production has become very complex, cross contamination issues require in-depth and lengthy investigation especially when dealing with companies outside of EU

We assist new Irish and foreign companies producing gluten free products onto the market, fully checking their products.

We encourage companies to implement and improve manufacturing practices.

The Food List also provides our members with an assurance that each of the products listed have been fully investigated by our Food List Team.

Sorry no malt barley. There is a very good rice crispy recipe floating around here somewhere.

While we are on the topic of breakfast cereal..... Almost all mainstream breakfast cereals have some sort of gluten in them. Read the labels carefully. Even the ones you think couldn't possibly have gluten in them, do.

My nutritionist at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia let me know from her recent conversations with the FDA they are now saying that Modified Food Starch, MaltoDextrin, and Carmel Color are all safe unless it is in a protein. I.E If it is managed by the FDA it is safe. If it is managed by the USDA it to be questioned and avoided. I hope this helps some people. It has allowed me to put alot of foods back into my diet.

Most maltodextrin in Australia comes from maize and our labelling laws for products produced /manufactured/packaged here here make it compulsory to say if a product contains gluten /wheat/barley etc

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
