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I am not a supporter of lists--they are out of date the minute that you print them.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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies c...

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
