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?

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
