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

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
