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.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
