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:

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
