Hi There,

I recently had a blood test done and have found that I'm allergic to Barley, Corn, Rice, Rye, Wheat, Cow's Milk, Egg's, Pineapple and Brewer/bakers yeast + a few other non discript foods.

I have checked the likes of Woolworths and Coles and some health food shops looking for any pre packaged/processed foods like cake mix, bread mix, muffins ,etc. without sucess.

Everything I have checked contains at least one of the foods that I'm allergic to. I have also emailed several health food companies with out sucess.

Is anyone here able to help me pls with preferably brands/names of products I can eat, or maybe recipes..?

Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers Mardy

Orgran is an Australian company I believe. I live in the U.S. and buy and regularly use some of their products, especially the pasta.

Sorry, my tired eyes last night completely misssed the other allergens that you listed :( and I realized later that Orgran might not work for you. Good luck with your search.

In my experience Orgran is the brand with the most things excluded so if you can't use their products, looks to me like you're just going to have to make things from scratch.

A great cookbook is "Sharing sweet secrets, wheat and gluten free" by Pamela Moriarty, and every single thing I have tried from that book has been extremely delicious. Also if you have a look on the Gluten Free Girl website, she has a lot of recipes with unusual flours like teff or sorghum, which you may be able to tolerate.

But on the whole, I think you probably just need to experiment a lot. Chickpea flour might be a good one for you to test out because that can be used to make pancakes etc just on its own.

Mostly making your own stuff from scratch doesn't take that much longer than using a packet though and then you can be absolutely sure what you are putting into your food!

Actually, a great tip I learned from a friend with multiple intolerances is that mung bean noodles, aka bean thread or bean vermicelli are a great substitute for all kinds of starches - you can use them instead of pasta or any kind of noodle you would put in a stir fry. They have them at Coles and Woolies in the asian grocery section for about 55-65c per pack, or even cheaper at the asian grocer. The brand I get at the supermarket is in a mostly clear sort of shrink wrapped packet with bright blue and red on it at the ends.

You just need to soak them in boiled water for 8-10 minutes and then you can use them either hot or cold. (They are great cold in a salad too!) :D

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.
