Can't Figure Out

Noah has had diarrhea off and on for a couple of weeks. I can't figure out where he is getting gluten from. He is going to school now, but I really don't think he is eating anything without telling me. He is at the OVERLY truthful stage so I just don't think he would sneak it.

I did get a couple of new things at the grocery store, but I check ingredients thoroughly. so I am just having a really hard time with it.

Rice Dream milk (instead of our usual Almond Milk)

Chex Rice cereal

and Oscar Meyer honey ham ( I usually get the Oscar Meyer Naturals Ham)

Has anybody had any experience with these foods causing glutening???

My bet would be on the Rice Dream. If you do a search for it here, you'll see there's been lots of discussion about it being processed with barley enzymes, so even though it says 'gluten free' and it likely meets the new standards for it, really sensitive people may still react.

I noticed I was still having some issues a week or two ago, and I was still drinking this stuff.......I switched brands and haven't had any further issues.

Hope you get it figured out!

tired is right. Many react to Rice Dream. I would nix it. Have you tried the hemp milk. It is very good.

Definitely stop the Rice Dream - has low levels of barley that cause issues with some people.

I'm going to strongly agree with the Rice Dream. I gave it to my son for 2 1/2 or 3 months without realizing that it had the low levels of gluten / barley. We used it to cook with and for my son's cereal since we were also trying to keep him off of dairy. We stopped the Rice Dream and within a week his stomach pains were gone. We had tried to figure it out for MONTHS!! He's now back on dairy and has no issues!!

He also eats Rice Chex with no problems, but we haven't tried the ham.

Good luck! Margaret

thanks everyone!!! Out it goes!! I will go back to the almond milk. I only got rice dream because they don't sell almond milk at the store I usually do my shopping at (commissary, we are military) and I didn't want to have to keep making an extra stop. Almond milk was the only thing I was going to the other store for. I had not gotten it before just because I didn't think he would would like the taste. I never would have thought it had gluten in it. :huh: But I am glad to know that it was one of these products... And not him getting gluten at school, THAT is a lot harder to control.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      By trents · Posted

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
