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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
