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.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      My only proof

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
