gluten-free Shopping List/ingredients To Watch Out For

Hi all, I am fairly new to this....officially diagnosed Monday. I been struggling on what to eat. I found out gluten is hidden in tricky wording like frosted flakes said Malt Flavoring, which I bought but then found out its from barley....so I guess that will go to my brothers. But I am also going back to school after time off because I been constantly ill. I need help with the shopping list, and maybe even some brand names of snacks, like chips, cereals, etc that I can buy that would be easy to bring to school with me. Also personal care products, what are some brands to try. I use sensodine toothpaste. I am prone to loads of cavities so have a fluoride past for bed time and use act fluoride rinse during the day. Are those ok? For shampoo I use different name brands from Herbal Essences, Garnier fructis, Aussie, Pantine usually get what is on sale for the week. I use Sexy Hair concepts spray and play for hair spray. Deodorant I use Mitchum roll on. Face wash/lotion/astringent I use the Clinque 3 step. I also use Clinque happy for perfume.

And what do I look for on the ingredient list besides wheat, barley, rye, and endo said oats too even though oats are not a type of gluten but unless say gluten free in a gluten-free plant high risk of cross contamination. Also question is all "malt" gluten. I got some bubble gum candy canes and it lists malt syrup.

Welcome, this forum is a wealth of information.

There are a lot of things you have to watch out for. But first, I want to post these links so you can check out these gluten free grocery guides, they will save you a lot of time and guessing.

They list mainstream products (Kraft, Heinz, Kroger, Progresso, Hormel, etc.) by category (soups, chips, dressings, spaghetti sauce, etc.)

Thank you so much for the quick prompt response. I do live at home currently. I know my family will not go gluten free, as my step father adn step brothers love pizza, pasta, etc way to much. But it is ok, as long as I can eat gluten-free and not be contaminated. I do have my own fridge because I am diabetic so we use it to keep my insulin and snacks in. But we have spare microwave ovens and toasters never used that we got as a gift, so I will ask my mom for them. I never thought that cookware could contaminate. I can see the toaster and I just been avoiding bread but never thought about a cutting board, etc. I am hoping not to be here much longer as I will either go to dorms in the fall for school or move in with my finance. And he's a tropper about this all. He has been more supportive than anyone. He even did injections of sailine and tests his blood glucose to support me. He is willing to try the foods and eat gluten-free with me. So down the road it will be very easy. But I guess I will be asking santa for new appliances. I will look up those shopping lists. Is there a book out there like calorie king (i use that for carb counting) that I can carry around?

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
