2 Unexpected Places I Found Wheat

I just thought I'd share that I have found wheat inbetween pure fresh chicken livers and also today I found wheat pieces in the lentils. I've been getting ill from eating soup with lentils in it and wondered why, now I know. The chicken livers are prepared with the other chicken intestines and wheat pieces makes its way inbetween the liver pieces which could be washed out, but I personally wouldn' risk it that tiny crushed pieces stays stuck inbetween.

Thank you for sharing such valuable information with us!

The Canadian Celiac Association specifically calls out lentils for some reason,

If using lentils, be sure to meticulously pick them over before putting in the pot to cook. Even if you buy them packaged, it is not uncommon to find kernels of wheat or oats (or pebbles) in with the lentils.
It looks like they have updated their site recently too - I like it! Open Original Shared Link

We dropped lentils a long time ago, but it would be so nice to figure out a way to test clean lentils in our diet. It is odd how many foods we dropped in the past thinking we had an issue with that food, simply not understanding how contaminated with gluten our food can be. It didn't help that the cross contamination realities can be quite difficult to find! We also have to be super careful with chicken, and it took me a LONG time to figure that out!! I kept thinking it was *something else* that kept glutening me.

Thanks again for the great information!!

I've found wheat in (gluten free) whole grain sorghum, corn, and millet as well as lentils.

I've found enough pebbles in bags of lentils that I always pick them over and rinse them well. I haven't found wheat in them, but I'm not terribly surprised.

Yeah, there's wheat flour in tomato soup too.

I eat lentils all the time with no problems. AWG has Best Choice Lentils on their gluten free list, so maybe I'm just lucky those are safe! I did notice that all the dry beans at Wal-Mart have the disclosure "May contain traces of wheat."

Anyway, Best Choice brand seems to be a good choice if you have it in your area.

I missed tomato soup so much. Then I discovered Heinz tomato soup in the 'ethnic' section of my grocery store with foods from England. It is imported and last I checked it was gluten-free, I haven't had it in a few months though. If you have a 'British' section like that in a store near you check.

Pacific natural foods has gluten-free roasted red pepper and tomato soup. I think they had a different tomato one, too. I have found these at a regular grocery.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
