I understand that the new label laws for products have to state if there is

milk/casein

eggs

wheat

yeast

nuts

shellfish

I can't remember what the other items are.

However, tHey DO NOT have to state if there is barley, rye or oats? So the new labeling law will not make things any easier or will it?

They will list the top 8 allergens including wheat...but it will not cover rye,barley, or oats. It will help us at least a bit :D

It's milk, wheat, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, soy, I think.

It will rule out many of the products, since wheat is usually the culprit, but in terms of positively identifying the products as gluten-free, won't help. Sort of like the gene test for celiac, lol. :lol:

Good one celiac3270! But at least you can look at it and immediately rule it out if it says wheat. You won't have to read the rest of the long labels. Just say bye-bye :D

dairy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, and shellfish

those are the eight major allergens that will need to be identified on packaging. it's true that oats, barley, and rye won't have to be labeled, but the law does require that a definition of the term "gluten-free" be determined. (legally it's more complicated that common sense would indicate - you have to be able to test and "prove" a certain level, and tests are all a "lower than X" kind of thing...) so it's a huge benefit for the allergic, a start for us, and generally better than what we've had.

Are these laws going to be in the US only?

I think so, but I am not sure if they will do it elsewhere to...the bill that was passed would only be valid in the US I would assume..unless other countries started following our laws

Yeah, I'm sure you can easily find out. If they are not,maybe calling or writing to the government to say they should have that law to make it easier for celiacs and then explain...it can't hurt

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
