New Here - Olives And Chick Peas

Hi - I just joined two days ago when I got my diagnosis and started to be gluten-free. So far I've just been eating fresh veggies, fresh fruits, fresh meats and fish. I bought a gluten free salad dressing. I'd like to mix up a salad for myself for lunches this week. I'll put some chicken in it, but wondered about black olives (from a can) and chick peas (from a can) and kidney beans (again, from a can). What should I be looking for on the ingredients label on canned veggies?

I'm brand new at this! I'm a teacher with vacation next week. I just want to make it through this week and then I can explore other food options over my vacation when I have time.

Thank you for your help!

Nicole

Canned olives, beans, and veggies should all be gluten-free, though it is always wise to read the label. Usually, those things are packed in water, accept possibly the olives. As far as I know, neither wheat nor gluten is used in the processing of canned olives, but again, check the labels. There are sometimes ingredients which you may be allergic to, or have a reaction to, even if it's not gluten.

Here's a list of safe and unsafe foods and ingredients:

Just some food for thought....My naturopath said that while detoxing from gluten to avoid also anything that was fermented. Sometimes olives go through a fermentation process, so she told me to avoid them for a month or so.

Bushs's baked beans are ok, just check the label as they will disclose gluten.

Just plain old canned veggies and beans are fine to eat. You can check for "wheat" in the allergen info to be sure. I don't think I've ever seen unsafe canned beans or black olives. If you pick up something that is seasoned or in a sauce that has a long ingredient list that you find confusing, you can check against the safe and unsafe lists on Open Original Shared Link They're linked right off the main site page.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
