Thanks Mike. I don't know if you intend to include a positive list. I can understand if you don't want to include company names. Maybe you could at least include categories that I would not otherwise suspect. For instance I had no previous knowledge about oranges and strawberries or wine as possibilities. It explains a lot. My son swore that his strawberry smoothies were making him sick and I didn't want to believe him. I pushed them for a few days more than I would have had I reason to suspect strawberries. Now I have started washing our oranges after purchase. I like to get as much knowledge as possible. I can always later decide that it doesn't apply to my situation.

It really has dragged on.

Yes, and you bring up a great point and why I need to edit this list before just posting. I love strawberries and was not satisfied to give up on them (is one of the major reasons why I have tested so many things and still do) Thru testing, I discovered that Driscoll brand strawberries have been negative for gluten every time. I eat them now and don't even check em! Both organic and just regular type. I called them about my testing and they let me talk to their head food scientist. He explained that they raise all of their strawberries on plastic and have very strict rules about this for all of their suppliers that grow for them in the co-op. Berries are picked and placed right in the container in the field and go straight to cold storage and they do not use any type shelf life extenders. All the best, Mike

Thanks for the list Mike. I bet it was a lot of work to get it compiled. Unfortunately gluten free rice chex was enough to get to both my son and I, so that test isn't sensitive enough for us. A positive list could be helpful, though. HInt, hint.

Thanks for that info. Is it enough to just wash the strawberries? Can you say more about shelf life extenders? Maybe in a different post.

Just a little thought here....lists are only good until the manufacturer changes the ingredients without notice. Mike has mentioned this as well.

Yes, I also wish to caution everyone about the use of any gluten-free list. Ingredients and manufacturing methods do change. I found this out the hard way recently. It's all chronicled on the "Liver Enzyme" thread. Please, be familiar with the labeling policies of the various companies that you buy products from, and always scan the labels for any changes. Please.

Be aware that it's sometimes just the luck of the draw in regard to when the product you have was processed in relation to the gluten containing products that are made in the same facility--or along the same lines. One bag of chips, for example, could be absolutely fine, while the next may have been run after a flavored variety with a bit of residue on the machinery. The gluten-free list would say these chips were fine, but would still trigger a reaction to someone sensitive.

It would be wonderful to have a sort of foolproof "master list" that we could follow and be assured that we were safe. I wished for one when I was first diagnosed but I quickly realized that approach was just not a good guage for me in real life.

Again, proceed with caution :)

Personally, I could only feel comfortable posting a POS list. No one would get hurt. People would avoid those foods.

It would absolutely kill me if I posted a NEG list and people trusted it and even 1 person got sick based on my list.

No way could I do that.

No way.

No way.

That's why it's important to be our own advocate. Whether you read about the gluten status of a product here, another site, in a book, or through personal recommendation, the bottom line is, what you put into your mouth of feed to your children, is your responsibility alone.

Learning to read labels had not generated any issues for me.

I agree that we are all responsible for what we eat. We absolutely still have to read labels. Just because Mike's negative list has fritos doesn't mean I'm going to eat them. You can't always tell just by reading the label. I believe Fritos has only 3 ingredients. If you dig deeper, Lays tells you that only the stax are made on dedicated lines, but you have to go to the website to get the info.

I think we are all different. For some people, they don't care if it's made on the same line as gluten foods. I try to stay away from foods made on the same lines as other gluten foods. I'm not as worried about it if it is made in the same facility. I am happy about the Driscoll's brand strawberries and will try them.

I am more interested in the positive list.

I should also add to this that because of Mike's testing, I will be switching my OJ. I'll still read the label each time I buy it. I always, always read labels. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think the strips can be beneficial if I am trying to rule a food out. I don't want to go through a challenge and get sick again. Yeah, I know they may not be perfect. A lot of testing isn't including the celiac panel. So, to each his own.

Right Jenny! Kikkomans has wheat in it and it tested NEG. Neither you are I are going to eat Kikkomans soy sauce because it clearly states it has wheat regardless of the Elisa test. That is why the NEG list doesnt interest me either. I cannot trust a NEG with the Elisa test because of my results. However, based on my tests, a POS can be trusted because they DO detect large amounts gluten (I just question the sensitivity of the test). So only the POS list has value to me personally.

I found out today that mushrooms can be grown on straw. Especially straw mushrooms. Have you found any positive tests for mushrooms? Again, does washing produce help? (Have you done any tests on this?)

Have not tested any mushrooms. I have tested Redbridge beer, did I already mention that............ All the best, Mike

Oh and the washing of the oranges did not seen to help when I got glutened. It is my understanding that the gliadin protein is non-water soluble and tends to be sticky. It will absorb in alchohol and this is why if you ever get glutened while drinking, man is it ever worse. It also takes somewhere around 600-700 degrees to burn up this protein. This is why you can still get glutened from a grill or skillet and such. All the best,Mike

That explains a few things. I had a really bad episode right before I went gluten free. Wine plus this spinach pastry that had gluten as the first ingredient. It convinced me. Thanks for the washing info. Maybe I can make some sort of alcohol solution. I just ordered Bards from an out of town friend. Can't get it here. Thanks for that too. Also explains a few things.

I use rubbing alcohol and water mixture. I might be a bit anal with this, oh well. I wipe my cell phone off when I get home and will wipe off the counter tops on occasion just for good measure. Hey when you are hyper sensitive to this gluten deal, what the heck. Yes, law suite, not going there right now, besides, if a person starts naming names, it just might set back some of the progress that has been made with regards to labeling ect. ect. I could see companies pulling the "Gluten free" off of the labels in a heart beat if they have a bunch of folks running to them claiming "I got glutened and I can prove it." In time, not right now in my opinion. Mike

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.

      I made an account just to reply to this topic. My story resembles yours in so many ways that it is truly amazing. I also suddenly became lactose intolerant, went a little under 10 years attributing all my symtoms to different body parts, never thinking it was something systemic until much later. I had the same mental problems - anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. In fact, the only real difference in our story is that I was never formally diagnosed. When I discovered that my myriad symtoms, that had been continuous and worsening for years, all rapidly subsided upon cessation of consuming gluten, I immediately took it upon myself to cut gluten out of my diet completely. I live in America, and had lost my health insurance within the year prior to my discovery, so I could not get tested, and I will never willingly or knowingly consume gluten again, which I would have to do in order to get tested now that I have insurance again. But that is not the point of this reply. I also had extreme TMJ pain that began within months of getting my wisdom teeth out at - you guessed it - 17 years old. I was in and out of doctors for my various symptoms for about 5 years before I gave up, but during that time I had also kept getting reffered to different kinds of doctors that had their own, different solutions to my TMJ issue, an issue which I only recently discovered was related to my other symptoms. I began with physical therapy, and the physical therapist eventually broke down at me after many months, raising her voice at me and saying that there was nothing she could do for me. After that saga, I saw a plastic surgeon at the request of my GP, who he knew personally. This palstic surgeon began using botox injections to stop my spasming jaw muscles, and he managed to get it covered by my insurace in 2011, which was harder to do back then. This helped the pain tremendously, but did not solve the underlying problem, and I had to get repeat injections every three months. After a couple of years, this began to lose effectiveness, and I needed treatments more often than my insurance would cover. The surgeon did a scan on the joint and saw slight damage to the tissues. He then got approved by insurance to do a small surgery on the massseter (jaw) muscle - making an incision, and then splicing tissue into the muscle to stop the spasming. It worked amazingly, but about three months later it had stopped working. I was on the verge of seeing the top oral surgeon in our city, but instead of operating on me, he referred me to a unique group of dentists who focus on the TMJ and its biomechanical relationship to teeth occlusion (i.e. how the teeth fit together). This is what your dentist did, and what he did to you was boderline if not outright malpractice. There is a dental field that specializes in doing this kind of dental work, and it takes many years of extra schooling (and a lot of money invested into education) to be able to modify teeth occusion in this manner. Just based on the way you describe your dentist doing this, I can tell he was not qualified to do this to you. Dentists who are qualified and engage in this practice take many measurments of your head, mouth, teeth, etc., they take laboratory molds of your teeth, and they then make a complete, life-size model of your skull and teeth to help them guide their work on you. They then have a lab construct, and give you what is called a "bite splint." It looks and feels like a retainer, but its function is entirely different. This is essentially a literal splint for the TMJ that situates on the teeth. The splint is progressively modified once or twice per week, over several months, in order to slowly move the joint to its correct position. The muscles spasm less, stress is taken off the joint, as the joint slowly moves back into its proper position. The pain reduces each month, each week, sometimes even each day you go in for a visit. The joint has to be moved in this manner with the splint BEFORE the modification to the teeth begins. They then add to your tooth structure with small bits of composite, to keep the joint in its proper place after it has been sucessfully repositioned. Subtracting from your teeth, by grinding down bits of your natural tooth structure, is done very conservatively, if they have to do it at all. This process worked for me - after six months, my face, jaw, neck all felt normal, and I had no more pain - a feeling I had not had in a long time. It also made my face look better. I had not realized the true extent that the spasming muscles and the joint derangement had effected the shape of my face. The pain began to return after a few months, but nowhere near where it had been before. This immense reduction in pain lasted for a little over two years. The treatment still ultimately failed, but it is not their fault, and it is still the treatment that has given me the most relief to this day. Later on, I even went about three years with very, very good pain reduction, before the joint severely destabilized again. This field of dentistry is the last line treatment for TMJ issues before oral surgery on the TMJ. There aren't as many denists around who practice this anymore, and the practice is currently shrinking due to dentists opting for less espensive, additional educations in things like professional whitening, which have a broader marketability. Getting this treatment is also very expensive if not covered by insurance (in America at least). My first time was covered by insurance, second time was not, though the dentist took pity on me due to the nature of my case and charged like a quarter of usual pricing. Most cases seen by these dentists are complete successes, and the patient never has to come back again. But occasionally they get a case that is not a success, and I was one of those cases. A little over a year ago, I began seeing the second dentist who keeps my TMJ stable in this manner. The first dentist retired, and then died sadly. A shame too, because he was a truly amazing, knowledgable guy who really wanted to help people. The new dentist began to get suspicious when my joint failed to stay stable after I was finished with the bite splint and his modifications, so he did another scan on me. This is ten years after the first scan (remember, I said the surgeon saw "slight" damage to the tissue on the first scan). This new scan revealed that I now no longer have cartilage in the joint, on both sides - complete degeneration of the soft tissues and some damage to the bone. The dentist sat me down and had a talk with me after these results came in, and said that when he sees damage like this in cases like mine, that the damage to the joint is most likely autoimmune, and that, in his experinece, it is usually autoimmune. He has sent patients with cases like mine to Mayo Clinic. He said he will continue to see me as long as the treatment continues to offer me relief, but also said that I will probably have to see a dentist for this type of treatment for the rest of my life. He is not currently recommending surgery due to my young age and the fact that the treatment he provides manages my symptoms pretty well. I still see this dentist today, and probably will see this kind of dental specialist for the rest of my life, since they have helped with this issue the most. I did not inform him that I am 100% sure that I have celiac disease (due to my complete symptom remission upon gluten cessation). I didn't inform him because I thought it would be inappropriate due to not having a formal diagnosis. I was disappointed, because I had believed I had caught it BEFORE it had done permanent damage to my body. I had never suspected that my TMJ issues may be related to my other symptoms, and that the damage would end up complete and permanent. Luckily, I caught it about 6 months after my other joints started hurting, and they stopped hurting right after I went gluten free, and haven't hurt since. I of course did the necessary research after the results of the second scan, and found out that the TMJ is the most commonly involved joint in autoimmune disease of the intestines, and if mutliple joints are effected, it is usually the first one effected. This makes complete sense, since the TMJ is the most closely related joint to the intestines, and literally controls the opening that allows food passage into your intestines. I am here to tell you, that if anyone says there is no potential relationship between TMJ issues and celiac disease, they are absolutely wrong. Just google TMJ and Celiac disease, and read the scientific articles you find. Research on issues regarding the TMJ is relatively sparse, but you will find the association you're looking for validated.
