pickles

syrup

yogurt based salad dressing

toothpaste(pepsodent)

gouda cheese

I"m ok with all of these except some of the salad dressings. Some I've seen contain gluten components. There really is no short cut for reading the labels. I know with the gouda it depends on the brand. Processed cheese they get in Hawaii changes each time they seem to get a shipment so I have to check each time or just buy imports that are really 100% cheese. Also I would be careful of the syrups and check the labels for modified food starch and hydrolyzed proteins that are not defined as to source.

Good luck

you can't assume that a whole category of anything is gluten free - if it's not a whole food, you *HAVE* to read the ingredients. sryups can certainly have a wheat based ingredient, depending on what type of syrup you're talking about, as it may have malt. salad dressings as well, particularly if they have soy sauce. always, always read the ingredients.

Hi--

You can never assume that a whole catagory of foods is gluten-free. There are safe syrups and unsafe ones, for example.

I use pure maple syrup--that being the only ingredient. Crest Toothpastes are gluten-free, as are most others--but there are one or two that are not safe.

You need to check on each individual product--of course, you can always post it here and chances are someone knows the gluten status.

No need to simply avoid natural flavors--again, you need to check. There are companies that will clearly list gluten in the ingredients. Kraft, Con Agra, Unilever, McCormick, and Nestle to name a few.

Defintely read labels!!!

When it says "natural flavoring", "Spices" ect..if it's made in teh US I eat it. If you are unsure....call or email the company!

      Insomnia help

      Yes, @hjayne19, This is what I was saying in my post on January 15th and suggested the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol Diet which eliminates high histamine foods and histamine releasing foods.

      Hi @knitty kitty just covering back to this topic. I appreciate everyone’s help. Dairy was definitely adding to some of my issues but I wanted to ask about histamine. When I was working with my dietician I mentioned I got a stuffy nose when I was eating strawberries which I had just noticed one day in particular. Once I looked more into this I realized that histamine peaks at night and can cause insomnia exactly as I had been describing before. Working with her I realized while I wasn’t eating a lot of high histamine foods, I was eating a lot of histamine triggering or releasing like bananas (I was having several a day) and strawberries. Also some nights are worse than others but I also discovered meat sitting out even for a day can increase in histamines especially salmon which I eat quite a lot of even though I thought I was getting it fresh. Just wanted to know your thoughts and I’m just curious how this ties into celiac and leaky gut.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks
