Come to find out has glucose which is forbidden. This is not the first mistake. I am on a very tight budget due to this disease sidelined me so bad am on disability. Also the list says be careful of flavorings and colors I believe. Anyway to get more specific? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

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!

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
