Just a quick question...can we have corn flakes? I see that it has malt flavoring. We can have this if its corn based right? I would think since its corn flakes it would be ok but Im just checking first. Also...ranch dressing and ketchup...are these a yes or a no? Balsamic vinegar? just checking thanks!

Malt flavoring usually contains gluten. If your corn flakes say that the malt flavoring is derived from corn, then it is fine. Otherwise, no. There are some gluten-free corn flakes, but I don't remember the brand. They might not be available at your grocery store though. I got them at Big Lots some time ago.

The other foods should be fine unless you see something in the ingredients that isn't safe. You do have to check every label every time.

I would stay away from the Corn Flakes. Since Malt Flavoring is in it, it is a no item.

Below is what Kellogg's has on their website:

Question:

Do you have any gluten-free products?

Answer:

At this time, we do not offer products suitable for consumers on a gluten-free diet except as follows:

Thank you both...This is all crazy to me...Its only been almost 2 weeks and I feel like Im probably not 100% gluten free because I'm still learning the little things...Im reading labels but there is SO much out there to memorize that it seems impossible. I dont know how everyone does it!

This might help. ...this is a listing of good companies who will clearly list ALL forms of gluten.

It might be helpful to look into the www.triumphdining.com Grocery Guilde. It lists hundreds of main stream grocery products that are gluten free. I highly recommend it.

What you are going through is completely normal. Reading what is okay and not does take some learning and you will eventually get the hang of it.

You will find on the food products a 800 Customer Service line..The people at the companies are normally helpfull when you call to check on an item you are iffy about but be carefull some of them do not know what they are talking about (you can tell in their voice at times and if it sounds like they are reading from their computer confused).

I use to look up foods on here and see what people said and then look at the label at the store so you understand what they say on here when they say it is safe or not (keep in mind some labels do change). WalMarts brand Great Value will state Gluten Free on it if it is so that is helpfull.

Here are a couple of websites I used/looked at a lot in the beginning:

For most of us, distilled vinegar is safe. A few react when the source is a gluten grain, but it is generally accepted that distillation renders the end product gluten-free.

The vinegar that is a no-no is malt vinegar. It will always be labeled as such.

Some of us do react to gluten grain distilled vinegars alcohols. If it is a concern for you Heinz distilled is safe as it is not derived from a gluten grain. I use Heinz ketsup and their white vinegar with no problems.

And, keep in mind that many distilled vinegars never use a gluten source to begin with.

Here is info on vinegar that will make your life easier:

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
