Safe Foods...

Hello again!

While trying to stay celiac free (though my doctors office wont tell me if I was positive or negative yet, even though they have the results) I decided to play it safe for weeks, and eat nothing but rice, potatos, some meats and fruits/vegetables. I'd like to start trying a couple other things, but I'm not sure if they contain gluten or not...

1. I heard on the forums elsewhere that chinese food was okay. Now I don't want to sound skeptical, but thats kind of a broad term. All chinese food is safe to eat? That doesn't sound right to me.. but maybe someone can clear it up for me. :)

2. How about Planters Peanuts? Like the smoked amonds? I picked some up reading that nuts were celiac free, but then realized that some of these ingredients sound suspecious from Planters... please help! X(

3. Hot Cocoa? The only thing that concerned me on the list was whey, but read that, thats actually a milk product or some kind of powdered thing.

I guess I'll just have to keep playing it as safe as possible and continue waiting. it's been a full five days now, but I'm still having the gas pain/cramps and constipation. Until they let me see the Celiac results they are prescribing me something for Proctitus, which they said could very well be an issue.

Thanks again

Chris

(honestly I hope I do have celiac, so I can stop these guessing games that have been going on for several months :P).

1. You always need to check--there's no guarantee wth any cuisine.

2. I believe that Planter's peanuts are gluten-free. What ingredients do you question?

3. Swiss Miss is gluten-free... whey is just a milk fat or something to do with milk. No gluten there.

Good luck ;)

Maybe its just me.. but why in the world would there be anything outher then peanuts and salt in planters peanuts? I do not eat peanuts, so I never looked.... but its all these stupid useless addtives that cause so much trouble. :( If it was me, I would look for a brand that has only peanuts and salt. Just like I only eat Kroger Natural Peanutbutter, for that reason, or Byers Natural Ice Cream. Etc. Thats just my advicd...

-You need to check with Chinese food always. The places I have gone they knew nothing of what I was talking about and so we didn't eat there. They use soy sauce alot too so I would think they have gluten in alot of dishes

-I am pretty sure planters peanuts would be fine, but you should call if you are in question. I eat certain ones by them but you should probably check if they are flavored , etc. unless they say gluten free on them.

-Swiss miss is the best :D As celiac3270 said, they are gluten free

I go to a local Chinese restaurant and they have been able to accomadate me. I usually order the chicken and shrimp with rice, just steamed, no sauce. I love the pork fried rice, but sometimes it makes me queasy, sometimes not. I have checked their brand of soy sauce and it does not appear to have wheat but I am unsure about other dishes. I am also able to eat chicken chow mein with no sauce. The biggest problem is communicating and cross contamination.

I'm glad to know about the "whey" I thought it was a wheat byproduct. I'll have to add whey to my OK list. :)

I think Planter's peanuts are gluten-free as well. I've read somewhere that they were. Planter's is a branch of Kraft so wouldn't they follow the same guidelines as Kraft with the strict labeling?

Whey has to do with milk

Carrie-I am not sure if Planters is a division of Kraft...if it is then it would not hide anything on labels

They are Open Original Shared Link :D

So that should mean that they will clearly indicate gluten

Planters peanuts are fine. SO are most peanutbutters. So are alot of icecreams. SOmetimes we make this harder than it needs to be.

I agree with the additives thing. Can't everyone just make things more natural. Then there wouldn't be a question.

It's all money and politics. I mostly shop in organic sections of the store, then I don't have to question.

The reason you have to check out nuts and their manufacturing is some companies use a flour/gluten based powder to make the salt stick...

I've also heard that some companies dust the machines with flour prevent food products from sticking to it. This can be cornstarch, wheat, or other kinds of flour.

Also, have to consider that sometimes machines are used to make several kinds of food products, so there can be residue left from previous batches.

Hello,

Just to let you know, whey is definately a dairy product and has absoulutely nothing to do with gluten. My son has an allergy to Casein, which is milk protein, and so we dont do any milk. Whey is on our "Black List"

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.
