Hi Folks!

First I'd just like to say whilst am here and have the chance to...

For the record I am both better and the same as far as all my "digestive issues" ... my "blood tests came back as negative at ( 2 < 20 Iga) :( (And I only withdrew gluten Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon and then pigged out on wheat ALL day Sunday & Monday morn before they took the blood!) Now I have finally got an appt to see a GI (Celiac familiar too! :D on April 7th, meanwhile I am even "eating foods" (as in plural or variety), have halted "losing" weight but staying at 119, and now have been gluten free about a week I think, (had some errors with my "antacid meds" which led me to this post today actually). My D continues BUT it is no longer so, hmmm how to say it, pressurized I am happy to say, though unfortunately my "malabsorbtion issue" is all to obviously apparent by the fact that, hmmmm again let's see, well ya know how "corn goes in and out pretty much the same" in my case EVERYTHING does just that, even Iceberg Lettuce looks da same in and out <_< Anyhoo... now I'm babbling about me... on to the point of the post!

While I am not at all sure just how many fellow "Canadians" there are as members or even readers of the forums, BUT heck I know I am, so I figured that this particular "gluten-free List" would and could be a benefit to others to have and so I decided to share it in a post here today... For me one of the more difficult aspects of "going gluten-free" has proven to be NOT my "food" so much but more frequently with "OTC & Prescription Medications", which I take many of, for both other ailments and my newer too significant "digestive symptoms". From my Synthroid med to painkiller to "antacid & Immodioum" discovering whether they were safe "Gluten wise" took me journey after journey to the pharmacy counter to ask "please check this for me" and unfortunately, quite a few "trial & errors" too, before one of the Pharmacists so kindly "ripped out the list page from the BIG blue CPS book and gave me a "photocopy" of it... (an earthly angel she is ;) I hope it may save others some of my own errors and make their Celiac journey a tad easier perhaps. The list below is copyright by the publisher and is transcribed verbatim as it appears upon the photocopied page, it is shared here without gain and it should NOT be used in any way to "obtain profit". Please note; I will also be posting another small list table of a very few "Gluten containing" Pharmacuticals within CPS, along with the 'information text" on the particulars of Celiac Disease intended to educate and inform Pharmacists consulting the CPS. And I'll do that for ya, just as soon as I get my next "bathroom break" (away from it that is eh :lol:

CPS GLUTEN-FREE PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS

Table 3 lists manufacturers who participate in CPS and do NOT use gluten in the products they have included in CPS. The list is based on information provided by the manufacturers. In some cases, raw materials used in the manufacturing process are obtained from sources other than the pharmaceutical industry and may contain traces of gluten of which the manufacturer is unaware.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
