Great source. It still needs a lot more information. I searched safe crackers, and only Energie Foods brand came up. Only 2 salad dressings came up.

Let's help complete this list! (Brain thank you so much for taking the time to create this site!)

We have to get more gluten-free medication lists out there for emergency situations. We have to get some kind of database set up in the hospital and pharmacies for quick answers. My daughter had to go without some anesthia for her ear tube operation last week, because the gluten-free status could not be determined. Despite that fact 3 people were looking in to it.

Laura -

Do you have this link? Open Original Shared Link

It has a great list of what fillers are safe, in addition to a pretty big safe drug list (including companies). I don't know if you already know about this link - but it's the best one I've seen :)

Yes I do have that link. The drug was not on there. When the pharmacist said it should be avoided by anyone sensitive to cherries, there were shocked looks on the faces at the hospital. It must have occured to them that they have never asked anyone about being sensitive to cherries before using this drug, ever.

Hey guys :)

I have contacted one of the founders of the Celiac Society and told him that I'd posted his site here. Then I sent him a bunch of responses I've gotten from various companies when I asked them about their gluten-free status. I told him that *you* guys would be a great source of other responses - since I'm sure you have emailed lots of companies too! I asked if there was an address to which you should forward them & this was his response:

I'd be happy if you posted an email address. The best one would be contactus@celiacsociety.com or you could use brian@celiacsociety.com both will come to me.

Thanks for the earier email with the replies in it. I'll make sure to update our site. Also, I am very intersted in finding out new features that people would find helpful so if you have any ideas, feel free to pass them on.

I have a couple of features I am looking at adding soon.

1) Gluten Free recipes - these would be submitted by people who either modified exisiting gluten containing recipes or made new ones.

2) Gluten free Party Planner. You would be able to pick a type of event (birthday party, BBQ, etc) and we'd list gluten free foods that would be good to have at those events. This would be helpful for non-celiacs when they are planning something where people with celiac will be attending. The lists would be tied to what we have as gluten free in our system.

- Brian

I'm really excited that I found this site & that it looks like it could be so unbelievably helpful to celiacs! :wub: I'm going to make an extra effort to keep him updated when I find the "official commentary" from a company. Please help out & send him the info that you have :) Just think how helpful it will be to other people with Celiac Disease!! :)

I think his idea of a "gluten free party planner" is such a fabulous idea for 'friends of celiacs' :) Geez I wish my friends would be cool enough to do something like that! (Well, at least I know you guys would ;) tee-hee)

Thanks!

If the anesthesia was administered through a gas or IV, gluten would not be a problem, ever. Gases and IV liquids do not have gluten. This is according to the same guy who set up glutenfreedrugs.com and other medical people I've talked to.

We are trying to add as many items as possible but part of our problem is that we can only add items that we know about and/or use. So, if you have some products that you use or want to know if they are gluten free, please send an email to info@celiacsociety.com or fill out the form at Open Original Shared Link. That way we can get a more comprehensive list.

Look at Delphiforums.com...go to the celiac board (under the health and wellness section). Go to their product list--it's about 70 pages long...in a small font. Very comprehensive. They also post confirmed gluten-free products under one read only section--I guess you could use their confirmations of products, as well.

Richard,

It was for pediatric pre-anesthia (usually the child will fall asleep before going into the operating room and it also has an amnesia effect), and it was to be administered in liquid form by mouth along with liquid tylenol. It could not be verified on time for my daughter's surgery and she went without it.

I have 3 gluten free medications list on my palm and the drug was not listed. (because it is not common for adults?)

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working. PS  How to make a neck roll with a towel: https://www.painreliefwellness.com.au/2017/10/18/cervical-neck-roll/#:~:text=1.,Very simple.
