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?)

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
