Caramel Coloring?

Hi Guys,

I need some help. New to the diet, and in my third month... it is getting better, but still have some bloating issues when something slips past. I usually try to avoid anything that says caramel coloring, but read on another post that Coca Cola was actually ok. Is this true? I would be SOOO happy! Second question: I was just reading the ingredients on some pantry items (My husband and I purged many of the Rice a Roni, Zatarain's, and pasta boxes the other day...yep, I am sad, but feeling better with more natural ingredients) and Bush's baked beans only have a handful of ingredients, but they also contain the caramel coloring. Safe or no?

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the great resources! I spent some time looking at the gluten-free in SD website. Very helpful! I think I have a tendency to get wrapped up in all that I can't have, and I forget that there really are lots of things I can have. I was so happy to see that Cheetos are on the ok list. I can give up lots of things, but it's nice to know that I can indulge in life's little splurges once in a while! Yummy!

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
