"flavorings" And Liquid Vitamins

Hey there - newbie here unlurking and posting. :ph34r:

I'm just learning about the disease and how to deal with it. Been sick for 2 years and deemed crazy by most doctors. Just recently diagnosised and not sure of foods or better yet the hidden stuff we can't have.

What is the take on Natural and Artificial flavorings? I see where it is posted on the no list, but it's in every single food item I pick up - so I can't have anything but salads and fruit? Have had a very rough week this week - so I got contaminated some how this week and trying to narrow it down. I stick to the gluten-free diet very strickly, but still not sure of the hidden dangers. Have been doing very well and feeling much better until this past week - set back time!!!

Also, looking for a good liquid vitamin since I know I'm not getting the nutrients I need and have heard the pill form isn't absorbed very well in Celiac. But all the liquid vitamins I pick up have natrual and artificial flavorings in them. Can I have these or is this hidden danger for me?

Thanks for the help.

Leslie

With natural and artificial flavorings, you always need to check with the company except if they're in a product made by Kraft. If there's gluten in a flavoring, modified food starch, etc., it will be listed on the label. See this article for a complete explanation

Centrum is gluten-free, but I don't know about liquid vitamins. With the flavorings in vitamins, you also need to contact the manufacturer to ask if the product is gluten-free.

Hi all,

I talked to the nutritionist and was told to try Buried Treasures liquid vitamins. I've been using them since about November, and have really noticed a difference.

Good luck.

I use liquid vitamins plus by utrition and they are ultra absorbable and have been extremely good for me :D

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
