If you have a favorite food I would recommend calling the 800 line and asking, looking at their website (a lot will have notes about gluten free foods in their frequently asked question area) or you can e-mail them.

*V8 has a lot of gluten free drinks (I like V Fusion Pomegranate/Bluberry)

*A lot of the 100% Juice drinks are gluten free -- need to read the label to make sure though. I like 100% Orange Juice by Minute Maid.

*Sprite is gluten free (a lot of the coca cola products are)

*For breakfast I eat fruit

*Lunches/Dinners -- Salads, Lean Cusine Glazed Chicken, Taquitos (delimex has some that are gluten free), Kinnikinnick frozen pizza crust (order online -- they also have bread and much more), Spaghetti (Classico sauce all red/white gluten free with Ancient Harvest noodles), Soup (Progesso will label, if you e-mail Campbells they will mail you a gluten free list), Dinty Moore beef stew (I put some cheese in it for little flavor), can tuna, different meats (ground beef, steak, pork etc) with vegetables or mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese using gluten free noodles and velveeta (the block kind) if you can have dairy, Mrs. Leeper's (makes hamburger helper type meals -- you can get online or health food type stores) and Uncle Ben's rice (their Fast & Natural Whole Grain Instant Brown Rice is really good -- says gluten free on the back of the box) I like to make a rice bowl with the rice, ground beef and put some BBQ Sauce in it. Oh if you like tacos -- Mission has white corn tortillas and hard shells (say gluten free on packaging).

Hope this helps. There are a lot of foods in the grocery store that are gluten free. If you have a WalMart (Great Value brand) they print Gluten Free on the package if it is. Kraft is also a brand that will list gluten if present in the ingredients. Hormel has a lot of gluten free items.

GOOD LUCK!

Glucose is a sugar and is OK.

Here are lists of safe and forbidden ingredients.

https://www.celiac.com/categories/Safe-Glut...6amp%3B-Ingred/

Kraft is a company that will list all gluten so if it is made by Kraft and the label DOESN"T say "WHEAT" or "BARLEY" it is OK.

By law wheat has to be listed as wheat but barley does not so we have to learn the ingreddients that may contain it and call, look up on a website or e-mail the comany to check whether or not it is gluten-free.

It takes a while to get everything straight. Your Gatorade should be fine and glucose is not gluten related.

Here is some beginners information:

Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten (as in wheat, barley, malt and rye):

Here is a list of Forbidden things:

I hope these will be helpful. On this site in the Product thread you will find more brand name products that we have found to be safe. Good luck.

Hormel deli meats are labeled gluten-free. Oscar Meyer is owned by Kraft and therefore will have gluten labeled (pretty sure many of OM's products have caramel color so it's nice to know this brand will label if it contains gluten). Smuckers always labels gluten.

Remember that while you're still healing even gluten-free foods can make you feel sick. You gut is irritated so anything you put in it can cause random pains. Give it time. I would think Gatorade would be ok, but I guess not!

      New onset constant gas

      By HilaryM · Posted

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel like I have zero control over this. Any ideas? Thank you!

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any ideas?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @MagsM, Sorry you had that happen with Niacin.  500mg is the maximum amount of Niacin one should take.  Niacin works hand in hand with Thiamine, so a big influx like that can imbalance thiamine if not supplemented at the same time.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Niacin in doses at 500 mg or above have been used by doctors to lower triglycerides levels and raise HDL, the good cholesterol.  Pharmaceuticals to do the same thing are more expensive and thus more profitable for physicians. Has your doctor tested you for H. Pylori?  An infection by H. Pylori can be tested for by your doctor.  H. Pylori can cause low tTg IgA results, too.   I would hold off on the microbiome test for now.  Your microbiome is going to change when you go gluten free.  Your microbiome will change when you start taking Thiamine.  Thiamine supplementation influences which microbes grow in the intestines, encouraging beneficial bacteria and getting rid of the bad ones.  Thiamine in the form Benfothiamine promotes intestinal healing, too.  Adopting the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself) after diagnosis will also change your microbiome.  This is the best diet to heal and recover, IMO.   If you're going to have more testing done for vitamin deficiencies, don't take vitamin supplements beforehand, otherwise the tests will measure the vitamin supplements in your bloodstream and give false results.  Same thing will happen if you take B vitamin shots.  The supplements you mentioned (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) are herbal support and do not contain all eight B vitamins.  There's no harm in taking them, but I prefer a B Complex that contains all the B vitamins in activated forms like Life Extension's Bioactive Complete B Complex.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Magnesium is important to supplement as thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  Do not buy supplements containing Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not biologically active.  It is very hard for the body to utilize.  Most of it (70%) passes out unused.    Yes, my Meniere's disease has not returned.  I was deficient in Vitamin D.  I took high doses of Vitamin D 3 to correct the deficiency quickly.  I also took TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which is a form of thiamine different from Benfotiamine.  TTFD can cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier, so it can get into the brain very easily.  TTFD helps the Vagus nerve function.  The Vagus nerve regulates the ears and balance, and also the digestive system.  I like Allithiamine by Ecological Formulas.  I also like Thiamax by Objective Nutrients.  You should have improvements within a hour with TTFD.  TTFD is much stronger, so lower doses will give amazing benefits (50-200 mg).   I hope this helps give you some direction to take on your journey!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By MagsM · Posted

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.
