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.

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?)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
