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i just wonder if since lacee isnt having problems with these foods, if maybe our friends information is outdated, or if she is more sensitive than lacee, or if she only eats specialty labeled gluten-free products.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

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.

      Inconclusive results

      By Wends · Posted

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Inconclusive results

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!
