Hi All,

I was diagnosed about 2 months ago ... and after tests for some pretty serious diseases (bone marrow biopsy for cancer - negative) am now just trying to figure out this food thing. I've been eating "safe" foods - mainly Tostios, George's muffins, meat, salad. I am trying to find other things now ... and would appreciate any help you all can give me. Are these gluten-free:

Lank O'Lakes deli cheese (plain old yellow)

Cheez Whiz

Kraft Velveeta

Sour Cream

Cocoa Pebbles?

I'm a school librarian, so I'm using the summer to figure out what I can eat. I know the healthy stuff ... and my diet is slooooooowly going towards that. But the shock of this healthy food on my system is probably more of a problem then the gluten food :lol:

I've gone to Whole Foods and picked up some gluten-free stuff (including pasta); it's the regular store I need help with.

And what's the deal on oats? I read (on a website from a leading celiac specialist) that oats are OK, but I haven't tried any.

THANK YOU.

Ann

I stay away completely from oats. In the US they are highly contaminated with wheat. However, it has been said that if they are pure oats made in a dedicated facility, and grown not with wheat, may be safe but good luck finding brands without contamination. The problem is a portion of people react to the actual protein in oats called avenin. I just find it way too risky.

Kraft is a brand that will not hide anything in their ingredients. Them , along with some other brands posted on the site will clearly list wheat, rye, barley, oats right on the label if it contains any.

Daisy sour cream is gluten free

Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles (by Post-a Kraft brand) are gluten free

You mentioned Whole Foods, I have found they have the largest variety of gluten-free Foods, although you have to hit the gluten-free bread section the right day, the sandwich bread is plain, so you can do alot with it for breakfast, I usually either use it for French Toast, hamburger buns and peanut butter sandwiches. I prefer it toasted rather than not. The EnerG bread, blahhhhhhhhhhhh, even when you toast it it's gross. Whole Foods has a good organic corn cereal too, they have some quick things like breakfast bars, the peanut butter is pretty good. Their variety of 365 dressings are not bad either

Depending on where you live, I am here in NY, our Super Stop and Shop has a small gluten-free section, they have some really good chips and the baking products are not bad either. Shop Rite here really does not have much in the way of gluten-free items either.

It has been my experience so (I have only been doing this about 2 1/2) months now, that Whole Foods is your best bet, did you find there gluten-free Guide in the store, it will send you in the right direction as far as gluten-free items. Alot of their items are plainly labeled gluten-free which makes it alot easier too.

Good Luck, it really isn't as bad as you may think. I stick to Organic items and I make sure that whatever I make for dinner is enough to use for lunch the next day, that is a bit of a challenge, but it's not bad.

I have had trouble twice, once when I ate a cough drop before I read the ingredients and another when I tried a new kind of gum :o Hang in there you will get the hang of it. :)

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
