Are These Items Gluten Free?

[strawberrygm]

the following are some products my daughter has been eating with no problems.

however, a lady we know has celiac and says she should not be eating these products at all.

i dont see anything on the ingredients list, but am i missing something?

kellogs corn flakes

kellogs rice crispies

random brands of hot dogs (we have swapped to only nathans or hebrew national)

any fritos or lays products

bologna

this lady wasnt diagnosed till in her 50's, has dh, diabetic, and several other issues. she has been gluten free 13 years now. i know she is trying to help us.

i just wonder if since lacee isnt having problems with these foods, if maybe our friends information is outdated, or if she is more sensitive than lacee, or if she only eats specialty labeled gluten-free products.

thanks in advance for all your help!!

With the cereals your missing the barley malt. Those two are not cereals we can have. If you do oats make sure they are gluten free oats. The others are heavily cross contaminated. We can have the Chex cereals that are marked gluten free and a couple others.

Your hot dog brands should be okay, I am pretty sure Nathans and HN are both gluten free.

With the fritos and lays products. I am very sensitive. I eat plain Lays chips and Fritos without an issue. Some of us do have problems with the flavored chips, myself included because of cross contamination issues.

There was one variety of Nathan's that used to contain wheat but no longer does. Hebrew National are gluten-free as are Boar's Head. If you want Lays chips that are made on dedicated gluten-free equipment, the STAXX line, all flavors are. Erehwon makes a rice cereal, a plain brown rice Rice Twice and one with dried berries that are gluten-free and labled gluten-free. There are some gluten-free brands of corn flakes. The General Mills Rice Chex and several other varieties of the General Mills Chex cereals are gluten-free and labled gluten-free.

None of those cereals are safe. Chex cereals and Coco, Fruity and Cupcake Pebbles are now safe. BOth of those Kelloggs cereals have gluten in them.

Oscar Mayer beef hot dogs are safe. Not sure on the 2 you mentioned.

Bologna not sure. Hormel Naturals has a lunch meat line that is gluten free.

Frito Lay products that are gluten free are the Lays Stax. They have a bunch of different flavors.

Frito Lay BBQ recently changed their recipe to include wheat, I believe.

Ditto on missing the barley malt on the cereals.

[lovegrov]

As you know now, the cereals are most definitely out. Any time you see malt you have to assume it's made from barley.

In the U.S., there are currently no hot dogs I know of that have gluten. Bologna is also safe. Frito Lay has a list online of products that do not contain gluten. Some of those could be contaminated, but eating them is up to you.

I was just buying hot dogs yesterday. Nathans hot dogs are good. My issue is finding some reasonably priced that don't have msg added... I am new to this as Taylor was just diagnosed a few weeks ago. I looked at the ingredients of hebrew national and they have modified food starch, then I found out this morning that is supposed to be safe... Is that true?

Yes. Modified food starch is usually corn or tapioca. If it was wheat it would say so. It is never rye, barley or oats.
