Hidden Dangers?

I hope it is ok that I have cross posted this from the Parent's of Kids with Celiac forum. Wondering if you have any more input? Thanks so much!

Hi Everyone! I think that we are learning exactly HOW sensitive our son is to the smallest traces of Gluten...... seems whenever we eat outside our home (even at other houses) he has a reaction. I honestly think that now that we are over a year into this diet, he is MORE sensitive than ever before. I am fine with this, but am having a hard time figuring out where the traces are coming from.

I KNOW that the best thing would be to eliminate all pre-packaged foods, etc. However, the thought is so overwhelming!

SO, what I am 'really' looking for, is what 'gluten free' foods have you found to be not-so-gluten free. I mean either foods that are labeled as gluten free, or ones you would expect to be gluten free from reading ingredient lists.....

One I thought of before, but just recently saw it on here was Cheetos. Pretty sure he can't stand Gluten free oats. I tried the Schneider's Country Naturals' Hotdogs, but not so sure!

He 'seems' ok with most Glutino products, Kinnickinnick, Rice thinks crackers. Pretty sure Milk products aren't a problem........... Looking for the sneeky ones.

Any experiences? I know everyone is different, but maybe something will help!

Kim, Mommy to 4 fantastic kids!!!

If he is sensitive to gluten free oats, be causious with Bob's Red Mill gluten free products. I found to be very intolerent to gluten free oats after I tried them when I was 7 months gluten free. However, I almost exclusively used BRM products from day one. I started having symptoms last Jan. and didn't make the connection until August, when I was facing having to be on steriods. I dumped any processed gluten free things and that's when the connection hit. I never thought about the potential oat contamination that whole time. I also had to give up some main stream products also. I ate some baked goods this Jan. with BRM ingredients and bam, my symptoms I had for those 8 months came back and it took about 1.5 weeks to get back to normal. I used to tolerate cool ranch doritos and other lays products, but I can not eat those any longer either. I do alright with the stax though.

Keep a food journal. One year into the diet there can be a cross-contaminated ingredient causing problems. (bottle of vanilla was a problem for us) There is gut damage that needs to heal. Certain things are just harder for the body to digest. (egg protin, and corn ~ not that there is any allergy or intolerance going on with the individual just some things are harder on a damaged gut.

Follow up with the ped gastro. My daughter started having the same Celiac symptoms start up after being gluten free about 5 years. She was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitus when she was 6 years old. There is quite an extensive list of disorders of Celiac symptoms, some of which are more likely a connection to Celiac.

Could be other foods. My doctor said not to have soy, but I do not know why just that gluten intolerance = no soy. My doctor and some internet sources say careful with other grains and corn because there is not enough information to know if they are safe for gluten intolerant folks. There is also cross reactivity. Cyrex Labs does a test for it. I react to yeast and buckwheat. Casein intolerance often occurs with gluten intolerance. Maybe just temporarily go off processed pre-packaged foods and try one food at a time every few days and see what happens. Can also have tests done to see what intolerances he has? Can also look at allergy testing? I have lots of allergies probably because food is still leaking out and not fully digested since I am still in the healing process. not to be offensive but sometimes the cross contamination warnings are small and hidden on the package so not sure if that is an issue for you all. sometimes ingredients change so we gotta keep checking labels and calling companies. i love enjoy life products they are free of many common allergens and i like the taste. i am not a fan of bob's red mills product. they are processed in a facility that has soy. i thought they did some gluten products too, so i was afraid of cross contamination. best wishes!

Amy's has been a problem brand for some, especially their pizza. I don't trust Food For Life either, as they have had undeclared gluten in their foods a couple times.

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
