I don't know if baking powder typically contains gluten or not. I'm guessing not, but I'm new at this so I'm trying to double check everything before letting it into my body. I can't contact the manufacturer for the baking powder I have right now, so I am trying to just check the ingredients themselves. So far, everything has been okay but I can't seem to find out what sodium aluminum sulfate and monocalcium phosphate are made of and if they contain gluten. Anybody know?

Ditto for a box of instant mashed potatoes. The only ingredient I haven't been able to track down yet is sodium metabisulfite. Again, any advice/knowledge/experience you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

yes, sodium aluminum sulfate and monocalcium phosphate are gluten free. The trick I use when I want to know right away is type in my google search engine the ingredient i want to search then the words gluten free? That usually answers it right away for me more often than not. Most instant mashed potatoes do have gluten. The hy-vee brand 4 cheese, roasted garlic and sour cream and chive are gluten free. Safeways Herb butter, original and roasted garlic are gluten free if you have these two stores near you? Also, trader jo's has a garlic mashed potato. Most baking powders are gluten free, what is the brand that you have? You are so right that you have to double check everything! I hear it does get easier for us...cant wait for that to happen :)

While these ingredients are gluten free you want to stay away from baking powder with aluminum in it. Aluminum is very bad for you. You can find brands without it.

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      @jeffpine, please realize that GliadinX is not designed to allow you to eat large amounts of gluten without celiac repercussions. It is designed to counteract cross contamination situations where you might be exposed to small amounts of gluten accidentally such as you might get in a restaurant when you order something that should be gluten free but it is cooked on the same grill with stuff that has wheat. Also remember that the absence of noticeable uncomfortable reactions doesn't necessarily equate to no damage happening to the small bowel lining.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dema! The current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" leading up to the day of testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily for at least two weeks. I hope this helps you in your decision. This information represents more recently updated guidelines but you will find older info giving more relaxed guidelines that were found to be not reliable.

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By Dema · Posted

      Hi everyone :). I think I have a high likelihood of having celiac and will please Gd have a blood test in 2 days time confirming this. over the past two weeks I’ve been on and off (to max 5 days) gluten to cope with my symptoms however now I can see online that I’m supposed to be having 2 servings of gluten every day for 6 weeks, which isn’t even my normal diet.  should I reschedule my blood test. I would really love for it to be diagnosed soon. Would appreciate any advice! thanks!
