Nothing is sacred, is it. I'd have never thunk of corn in vanilla flavoring.

Yup. Corn is really hard to avoid. It's not one of the "top 8" allergens so it is not required to be disclosed in labeling laws. The only way to find out is to call the company and ask a bunch of prying questions about their processing facilities and ingredient sourcing.

I've got a question. Do you think it's possible that after things have started healing I might be able to tolerate SOME corn? I know I'm probably grasping at straws here, but it sure would be nice if I could eat Udi's again someday.

Yes it is possible that you may be able to tolerate it again once you have fully healed. After you have had a bit of time symptom free try it in as pure of a form as you can and see if it is tolerated. If you do something like corn chips do make sure that they are not processed in a plant where CC could be getting you instead of the corn.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
