Are These Items Gluten Free?

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i just wonder if since lacee isnt having problems with these foods, if maybe our friends information is outdated, or if she is more sensitive than lacee, or if she only eats specialty labeled gluten-free products.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

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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
