I am new with Celiac disease.. and I heard that gluten is not listed as 'gluten'... So, I need the most detailed and accurate lists possible to keep of ingredients that are gluten or have gluten in them...

For food items, I need any kind of ingredients that have it in them or are gluten... (i know the basics, wheat and stuff like that)

And for non-food items, I need the same (as an example, I am looking at my shampoo bottle, and I have NO CLUE what Tocopherol, Hyrolyzed Soy Protein, or Dehydroacetic Acid are.....) So, I would not know if they contain gluten or not...

I just looked at my shampoo bottle again, and WHEAT GERMAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE is one of the ingredients....

Gluten is in EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Try these links for useful information:

Unsafe ingredients.

Safe ingredients.

Open Original Shared Link If you don't see "wheat, rye, barley, barley malt, oats" on the labels, its not there, or hidden in "flavors, starches, etc."

I am not a supporter of lists--they are out of date the minute that you print them. Formulas are constantly changing. That is why I like to buy from companies who will label clearly (see the third link above). Always read the label.

Hi, the only problem is, I don't understand alot of ingredients, like those in my shampoo... I know nothing with say Gluten, and I was wondering what those versions of ingredients will be listed as...

As in, I don't know what on the label would be bad for me... I just found out about a week and a half ago, so I am Brand New to this...

I don't know if I am explaining right, haha... Does it count that I know what I mean? :)

The first two links are to lists found on this board. Each is a list of ingredients in alphabetical order. If you find the ingredient on the second list, it is safe. The first list contains ingredients which are always gluten sources and some which might be. Things with "might be" status are safe if the product you are looking at is made by a company on the third list unless the label specifically mentions a gluten grain by name.

Over time you will get to know which common ingredients are safe and which are not, but in the beginning, look them up on the lists. You don't need to understand what they are to see if they are on a list. If you are still not sure, you can post a question here. Somebody will know the answer.

In the US, on a food label, wheat must by law be declared. Barley can hide in flavors, but the companies mentioned in the third list won't hide it.

Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is rarely from wheat (and a food label would have to say so).

Hydrolyzed soy protein is gluten-free. Dehydroacetic acid is a gluten-free preservative.

Gluten must me indigested to cause intestinal harm. This is a toss -up as some with DH (skin rash ) can not use HBA products with gluten but others will tell you that it must me swallowed to cause damage. As an adult I can't see eating shampoo & skin creams. Are you very sensitive to gluten? Again some are & some are not.It may be a choice you wil have to decide as everyone is different.....

Pet food can also cause problems as well...

It does take time to learn everything... hidden gluten is tricky. Ie: soy sauce. LaChoy & Wal-Mart brands are easy fines & safe.malt is not safe or things containing malt.

Most distilled products are gluten-free Ie: heinz vinegar,Mt Olive pickles, heinz pickles. There are many name brands ok.....

Progresso soupsthat are gluten-free: creamy mushroom, lentil, chik & rice, chik & wild rice, corn chowder,chik & vegetable. dinty moore beef stew (not the chik stew)Lipton (cup) cream of chik soup, philly cream cheese, philly frozen swirls, edy's, breyers, dreyers ice cream without cookie sor crunchies added.

dairy queen soft serve, peant buster parfaits, blizzards are gluten-free. I don't get the blizzards because sometimes the spoons go from one container to another place the mixer they use for blending is used for gluten things as well...

Shopping the outer walls of the grocery store are pretty safe! ie: fuits, vegetables, meats..... most of these items are all safe as long as there is no marinades, sauces, or coatings ......think naked foods, you can always spice them up at home with McCormick spices.... they are clearly labeled...as is Kraft, &hormel products.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
