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"

      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 🤍

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
