Confused About Label Laws And Soy

I know that there was gluten in Soy. Is that still true in 2008. With the new law, does it mean the wheat or gluten must be on label or are there loop wholes like if malt stated, are we required to know that it contains gluten and does it still or are they now making from corn? I am going shopping tomorrow and want to be sure. I do not want to make any mistakes as you know very well, it is down right awful. What to I need to know?

Soy does not contain gluten, although many of us are also intolerant to soy (I don't have a problem myself).

Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. "Corn gluten" refers to the protein in corn, and is not gluten in the sense that we use the word, but is scientifically correct. We use the word to refer collectively, to the plant proteins that provoke the celiac autoimmune response, but the word can mean any grain protein.

The "Top Eight" allergens that must, by law, be clearly disclosed include wheat and soy, but the other gluten sources are NOT covered by FALCPA--they can still be hidden under other names.

There are a number of brands/companies that have a policy that they will clearly disclose gluten grains by their common name in the ingredient list. If you don't see one of them named (wheat, rye, barley or oats), then you can be assured that they are not hiding under another name.

My current list is:

Arrowhead Mills, Aunt Nelly's, Balance, Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry, Bertoli, Betty Crocker, Blue Bunny, Breyers, Campbells, Cascadian Farms, Celestial Seasonings, ConAgra, Country Crock, Edy's, General Mills, Good Humor, Green Giant, Haagen Daz, Hellman's, Hormel, Hungry Jack, Jiffy, Knorr, Kozy Shack, Kraft, Lawry's, Libby's, Lipton, Martha White, Maxwell House, McCormick, Nabisco, Nestle, Old El Paso, Ortega, Pillsbury, Popsicle, Post, Progresso, Ragu, Russell Stover, Seneca Foods, Skippy, Smucker, Stokely's, Sunny Delight, T Marzetti, Tyson, Unilever, Wishbone, Yoplait, Zatarain's.

Hershey was on this list until recently; they may or may not still disclose gluten, but their call center has been dodging gluten-related questions lately, so I have removed them from the list.

Not every brand owned by these companies is included. Look on the label to see who makes it. You may see Unilever in small print on the back with another brand name in large type on the front.

Malt or malt flavoring etc still mean barley as far as I know, and the Top 8 allergen law doesn't require anyone to call attn to the fact that it's gluten.

It's nice to know that some companies DO call attn to gluten in all its forms, tho. :)

Yeah, it sucks. Barley is not covered by the law, so it can still be hidden as "malt flavor" among other things. :(

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
