Milk, eggs, MSG, rice and potatoes are all gluten-free.

Celiac disease damages the villi, and as a result can cause temporary lactose intolerance until the villi have healed. The villi produce the enzyme lactase which is needed to digest lactose.

Pure oats are tolerated by many celiacs, but most commercially available oats are contaminated with wheat. Again, they are best avoided until the villi are fully healed. Then try them carefully.

Many celiacs have other intolerances as well. Some of us have to avoid dairy, but not all of us. I am fine with dairy.

Milk is fine unless you've developed an intolerance to dairy due to the damage done to the villi in your intestines.

Eggs are fine

MSG is fine, but like anything else, can be a problem for some.

Oats are a problem for many. Some people do fine with gluten free oats.

Rice is fine, just not the packaged rice mixes. I have issues with anything sugar related, so I stay away from rice most of the time.

Flour....no to white or wheat flour, durum, rye, semolina, or spelt....yes to rice flour, buckwheat, teff, amaranth.

I'm sure if I've missed something, someone else will chime in ;)

BTW....Peter what did you do that I couldn't repond earlier???.........I kept trying to post my response, and then find out you beat me to it! <_<

It wasn't me, although I had the same problem. I went back after my reply failed and copied the reply to the clipboard (Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-C). Then discovered that another mod had moved the topic from coping to ingredients while I was replying. Went there and successfully posted. I think I know who did it; Darn210 was reading when I started my reply. <_<

Dairy and cheese are safe for many celiacs though if you have had many GI symptoms, you may need to give it time before they are okay for you. i was diagnosed in aug of 06 and in december i tried dairy again successfully...

if you have problems with dairy then you can narrow it down to a lactose issue or a casein issue.

oats are safe if they are certified gluten free, as previously stated, some can tolerate, some can't. i can and have no problems

MSG is one of those things that is gluten free but som people still have issues. i cant have any.. even a small packet of ranch dressing with MSG will have me sick for the rest of the day.... again, you may have to try and see for you.

eggs should be safe, if you get sick from them, its probably an egg allergy

rice and potatoes (as well as every other fresh vegetable and fruit) are completely safe. for packaged rice and potato dishes the ingredient list should always always always be checked.

wheat and related grain flours are unsafe. a few of the safew flours include: rice flours, potato flour, tapioca flour/starch, corn starch, corn meal, sorghum (tolerated by many celiacs), bean flours, millet flour, buckwheat (sounds misleading but it is not related to wheat).... there are many others.... im sure someone will add to this!

hope some of this helps

As far as potatoes go, they are gluten free but some of us have a problem with them. Like me, I have a problem with all nightshade vegetables, which are potatoes, tomatoes, all peppers from bell peppers, jalapenos, to black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, etc, eggplant and okra. I eat anything with these in the ingredients, My symptoms will range from pain all thru my body to diarreah within 10 minutes after eating.

MSG gives me heartburn, sweats, shakes, bloating and bad gas.

Aspartame will give me heavy fatigue, diarreah, and sharp stomach pain.

Sugar gives me fatigue, dizziness and heart papatations.

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      Two months. In extreme situations like this where it’s clearly a smoking gun? I’m in LA so went to a very big hospital for pcp and gi and nutritionist

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
