Thickners?

I remember reading on a some website that thickners contain gluten yet I bought "Fruche" yoghurts due to the fact it had gluten-free written on the package. (And they are yum... i am in australia i dont know if anyone else has seen/heard of them) As i read the ingredients list though i was suprised to see thickener 1422 listed.

I am a bit confused :unsure: does anyone know if thickners contain gluten? i may be being over paranoid considering it does say gluten free on the package.

Also i still am not gluten free and i have been trying so hard, i even opted for fries and a garden salad at Maccas today. As i found on MD website that these were gluten-free, only to find out later my favourite sauce seet and sour contains gluten. :( i was so annoyed at my thoughtlessness, as i would never normally think about not getting this sauce with fries. Oh well one day at a time.

Luv Sal :D

It doesn't always contain gluten but it can. If it says gluten free right on it then it's fine.

Kati is right, listen to what the package says, but if you get sick then don't eat it again. The thickeners can come from wheat flour or corn starch, so if it says gluten free on it then it should be gluten-free.

Potato starch and corn starch are used as thickeners, too. If it says gluten free on the label, then one of the other thickeners was used.

One day at a time, one bite of food at a time! I am glad that you came on to visit with us, come back more often! Check out the "getting to know you" thread, we would love to learn about you!

Open it up :) . Basically, it's a survey...after awhile you become friends with some here and good acquaintances with most, so it's interesting to learn more about them...lifestyle, spouse, children, location, age...that type of thing. It's fine, though, if you don't reply to such threads....this is information that is open to anyone who wants to read it and has an internet connection, after all.

It's in the gab/chat room. It is like a poll, with lots of questions about ourselves. You can skip any that you are not comfortable with answering. We are glad you found us, too! :D

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      My celiac symptoms are extra-digestive; if I had to classify them, I’d say they are predominantly neurological: extreme fatigue that prevents me from making physical or intellectual effort, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, clumsy movements, pain… When I’m at my worst, I notice that some people behave hostilely toward me: they speak to me rudely, become authoritarian, belittle me, look at me and treat me with contempt… This made me question many aspects of my life and how others perceived me: What was it about me that seemed to bother others so much? What could I do to fix it? Paying closer attention, when I was sicker, others saw me as cold, distant, as not talking too much, less engaged, apathetic, sad… All of this, far from being intentional, was just how my symptoms—and my attempt to cope with them—manifested to others. But objectively, was my behavior harmful or detrimental to anyone? Did I deserve the treatment some people were giving me? No, my behavior doesn’t harm anyone, and if someone feels uncomfortable, the solution would be to walk away, not to treat me like s$#&. And here are the unanswered questions: What leads a person to interpret illness symptoms as something offensive? What kind of issues do these people have? How are people with degenerative or other types of illnesses who are in a situation of dependency treated? Am I the only one these things happen to?

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By drjay · Posted

      Thanks, yall! The tough part now is figuring out if I’m actually feeling better or is it some form of placebo effect. I do actually feel better but I’m not positive if I may just be gaslighting myself lol

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      @drjay in addition to what @trents wrote, I wanted to comment on your statement, "Positive for DQ2 and homozygous for DQB1*02 but negative for DQ8" You don't need DQ2 >and< DQ8 in order to be susceptible to getting celiac. Either one is good enough. DQB1*02 is a specific genetic allele that encodes part of the DQ2 protein. "Homozygous" means two copies of the same allele (the opposite is "heterozygous", where the two copies are different alleles). If you are homozygous for DQB1*02, you couldn't have DQ8. In other words, your genetic test tells you that you definitely have the potential to get celiac.

      Unsteady in my new diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      @drjay, your mixed test results experience is exceedingly common for someone having been consuming reduced amounts of gluten. A Marsh scale score of 3 indicates "significant villous atrophy" according to a quick google search I did and the biopsy is the gold standard diagnostic test anyway, not the blood antibody testing. It doesn't look like a "total IGA" blood test was ordered and without that we cannot tell if you are IGA deficient. If IGA deficient, other celiac IGA antibody scores, such as the tTG-IGA, cannot be trusted. They will likely be artificially low. And given the fact that there is significant improvement in your symptoms once you went on a strict gluten free diet, there is no doubt in my mind that your doctor's diagnosis of celiac disease is the correct one. By the way, welcome to celiac.com.!
