Safe Ice Cream? Juices? Etc.

My son & husband were just diagnosed with Celiacs a few weeks ago. I'm reading & learning but having to do so in a hurry... I'm pregnant and due in a week. I have no energy & need to send loved ones to the stores for me. I just have a few questions that I was hoping someone could help me with. I'm great at doing research but I'm sure you know... LOTS to do at once.

*Which brands of ice creams are gluten free?

*What about juices? I'm trying to think of quick things I can let me son grab out of the cupboard- capri suns, boxed juice?

*I read that Coke was gluten free. What about pepsi?

And also, I need to watch out for things that say "natural flavor", correct?

Thanks for any quick, easy help you can offer right now. I just want to have him ready for when I go into the hospital.

Oh... and I should add... we are a SUPER healthy family, so don't let my juice, coke & ice cream scare you. ;-)

For juice boxes we go with Capri Sun. They are owned by Kraft who labels all hidden gluten. I always call to double check - it makes me feel better. And they confirmed Capri Sun was gluten-free. Also there is Juicy Juice, Apple & Eve, and Welches brand juices are gluten-free.

Ice Cream - we go with Edy's. Their website lists ice cream by flavors with ingredients and whether or not gluten is present - which is only like in the flavors with cookies and obvious stuff like that.

Coke and Pepsi products are gluten-free.

I hope that helps out some.

Ice cream is usually clearly labled if it contains wheat or not. Sometimes I send my husband to the store with a cell phone and have him read the ingrediants to me over the phone if he is unsure. Good luck!

To the OP, Congrats on your baby! I may be totally out of line saying this, so feel free to shut me up, I was just wondering if you were going to keep the baby gluten free also since your husband and son have celiacs. Since you are so new to this, you may not be aware of all the research pointing autism to be linked with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Im pregnant also and have celiacs, and have been doing a lot of research on autistic kids linked with undiagnosed celiacs being on gluten filled formula's and food when they were infants. Again, Im sorry if I am out of line, I just wanted to pass along some information from one pregnant mom to another.

Thank you :) and NO, you're not out of line. I plan on nursing this baby (as I did my son for 2.5 years) & I plan on being gluten free, as well. Our whole house is gluten free right now & I plan on it staying that way. I have no intentions on giving this newborn any gluten. I did read however, that at 1 year old we should give the baby gluten for 6 months and then test to see if he has it as well. Have you heard of this?

I have heard on testing children, but from what I heard you are supposed to test around age 3. Autism usually shows up between ages one and three, so personally, I would like to wait until he/she is past the "danger" zone. We have four children in our close extended family with autism and three of those kids have been diagnosed as celiac's in the last year- the third has not been tested but does have serious gastointestinal issues, so I am betting she is a celiac also. As with most autistic children, they were fine and right on mark with age appropriate cognative growth and between ages one and three, they all regressed. So personally, I will definitly not be testing until the baby turns three when the period of rapid brain growth and development has slightly slowed. Im going to be crazy strict (or maybe just crazy :D lol).

Since you are super healthy may I recomend Stonyfield organic vanilla and Julie's organic vanilla. I only eat vanilla due to other issues that keeps me away from chocolate!

Breyer's and Ben & Jerry's are supposed to be gluten-free unless it says otherwise--like if it has cookies or something. I like Kozy Shack pudding--it's all safe.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!

My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!
