Gf Canned Foods


Guest vir

Recommended Posts

I seem to be having trouble with canned foods despite them being gluten-free. I also have a soy allergy, almond allergy and pork allergy and seem to be sensitive to milk products. Is anyone else having trouble with canned foods that list themselves as gluten free - tuna, turkey? I also have not tested positive for allergies to corn and chocolate but have problems with both if I eat too much of either. Whole corn is out all together for me. Thanks for any help anyone can offer :rolleyes:

I know that some canned tuna packed in water have a soy based vegetable broth in the "water" that is gluten-free, but could that possibly be bothering you with your allergy to soy? It could be that canned tuna also has this broth. Wat happens to you when you have soy, almonds and pork? how about milk? Just curious if the symptoms are GI related or upper respiratory related. What other canned goods bother you? I personally have not noticed any symptoms from eating gluten-free canned goods, so it is probably one of your other food issues, or you are getting something that is contaminated.

God bless,

;) i cant eat tuna in water when its packed in veg broth made with soy--i have not checked the chicken out=-veggies in cans do not bother me, only the tuna--they hide soy in everything :( --deb

I would also agree this is probably a soy thing, not gluten.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
