Does anyone know if mono and diglycerides contain gluten?

These ingredients are on the "be wary of" list in the literature that I received from Mayo Clinic.

Monoglycerides and diglycerides emulsifiers derived from vegetable oils.

The Canadian Celiac Association considers them to be acceptable in a gluten-free diet. Shelley Case's Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resource Guide Expanded Edition also includes them as gluten-free ingredients on page 44.

What kind of vegetable oils? I can't have anything soy either. This is all brand new to me, and I'm oh-so-very confused!

Soy is considered a main allergen. Main allergens are required to be listed on the label. If you don't see soy listed, then it is safe.

I have heard to be careful with those. I know on products that I buy from Wegmans, they are not labeled gluten free, and they appear safe looking, but I noticed when the product contains them it does not get the "G".

As I recently discovered, this is true IF the food is regulated by the FDA. If the food is regulated by the USDA (meat, poultry and egg products -- which may mean any product containing these things, the actual rules are complex -- I had a recent post on this), there is no allergen disclosure requirement. The USDA has said that it wants to issue rules so it will have labeling requirements the same as what the FDA has, but they haven't done so yet. I don't know to what extent the manufacturers of these products have decided to voluntarily identify major allergens. I also don't know why it is taking them so long to even start the rulemaking. They were asked to do this over two years ago, I believe. Perhaps the industries involved don't want such rules ...

      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, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      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 basis.

      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.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
