About The "questionable" Ingredients

What about the "questionable" ingredients that might be gluten free?

Do you find that all of them are gluten free? some of them?

(the 2nd list on this page: https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html )

None of the food or items that I use for cleaning or anything I put on me has any of the gluten containing ingredients in it, but many of them have the questionable ingredients.

Namely: Artificial Color, Caramel Color, Coloring, Flavoring, Food Starch, Maltodextrin, Modified Food Starch, Natural Flavoring, Natural Flavors, and a few others.

Will these always be safe in the US? How great is the chance that they would contain gluten? Thanks.

Let me see if I can answer:

Artificial Color - would not be wheat, barley, malt or rye

Caramel Color - used to be a concern due to the source, but is no longer and is considered safe

Coloring - ? but never a concern to me

Natural Flavoring - it would be wise to call the company, but wheat must be listed

Flavoring - same as above

Food Starch - not a problem with gluten due to processing

Maltodextrin - is safe in the US

Mod Food Starch - safe unless listed as wheat

***Wheat, by law must be listed. Barley, malt and rye are not required.

Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten:

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the...

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
