Can anyone help with what every day foods with brand names if possible I can eat and drink. I been trying to stay gluten free. I was just drinking Gatorade and felt funny. 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!

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
