Hi, I have been diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago ( I am now 24 years old). And this is my first year in America. I ate lots of wrong things till now. For example spict teas, curry powder, etc. Do you have a good list of Gluten Free products of different brands. For example tomato sauces, dices tomatoes, any canned foods, lipsticks, chocolates etc. I am now afraid of eating any kind of processes foods. Please help me?

Which brands of lipsticks I can use? Is it a problem to put on creams including wheat?

Hi absurduk,

First things first :lol: . Welcome on our message board :D

I'm also not from the states (from germany) and live here since november 2003. In which state are you living now? I can probably help you a little better, if you would tell. McCormick should have Curry Powder and if it's not a spice mix, it should be glutenfree. For a glutenfree list, take a look at

It helped me a great deal :rolleyes: . In the Giants (if you have a giants where you live) frozen food section, you can also find a lot of gluten-free foods. It actually says glutenfree on the package. I think some of it is from Amys and different other brands. These foods are very fast, if you don't have time for cooking :P .

I don't know about lipsticks, because I'm a woman, that doesn't put any make up on whatsoever. But if you're looking for a really good lip balm, try blistex. If you put on a cream with wheat, try not to get it into your mouth and wash your hands real good afterwards. For gluten-free shower gel and shampoo i use the Suave brand. And the gluten-free toothpaste I use is from Colgate. And Kraft is a brand here in the states, that clearly lists gluten on the lable (please correct me here, if i'm wrong, or anything changed so far).

I hope, i could help you. If you have more questions, just ask them. You'll always find somebody to help here.

Hugs, Stef

All of the Bare Escentuals makeup is gluten free. Toothpaste I use Crest. Shampoos, conditioners,hairspray soaps..I use Dove..all of their products will not hide anything. Moisturizers I use Neutrogena...they emailed me a huge list of their gluten-free products.

Kraft as Stef said will not hide anything. Unless their products say wheat,rye, barley, or oats on them then they will be safe.

Amy's has some pizza, mac n cheese and a whole bunch of soups that are gluten free and will say gluten-free on the package or cans.

Thai Kitchen has some really good soup that says gluten-free on the packet to..my favorite is Spring Onion.

Hope we have helped you out some :D Good luck and if you have any questions just ask anytime :D

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
