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

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
