Restaurant Cards

I've been wanting to make a reference card for people when they ask what I can't eat or most especially, for use in restaurants. I think I've finally got things narrowed down enough to cover everything but would really appreciate opinions from people who've got experience (i'm not gluten free quite yet, still waiting on the biopsy). The exceptions list came from the Dummies site.

The contents:

I cannot have anything with wheat, rye, barley, malt or flour in the ingredient name

Exceptions Alcohol (distilled), Caramel color, Citric acid, Dextrin, Flavoring extracts, Hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP),Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), Maltodextrin, Modified food starch, Mono- and diglycerides, Starch (in food), Vanilla (extract), Vinegar (except malt vinegar),Wheat grass,Yeast (except brewer

Oats may be worth mentioning above too. A number of celiacs have problems with this.

I have a link to a guide from the Coeliac Society of Australia that may be useful. I wouldn't copy it verbatim though, particularly since I'm suspecting you're based outside of Australia. Also be wary of Wheat Maltodextrin, Wheat Glucose Syrup, Wheat Dextrose and Wheat Caramel Coloring.

Also avoid wheat starch. Yeast can sometimes come in contact with wheat too. Sorry to pounce on this (it's a great start), but the only Exception that I would consider definitely safe is Distilled Alcohol.

I'm not concerned with oats for now but I'll keep that in mind for the future. The exceptions are US only as I recall. The site didn't have specific sources though.

Please make sure my food does not touch anything that has touched a gluten containing item to avoid cross contamination. This include washing hands before changing to new gloves, getting new utensils for making my food, and washing down the grill.

I'd be inclined to include oats, given that even if you can tolerate oats, we can't eat "regular" oats. You'd be at risk of eating things made with regular oats, oat flour, oat bran, etc. Just a suggestion....

Oh I know, I don't ever eat anything with oats and that's why i'm not concerned with adding it. Do you think the washing instructions are okay?

      Anyone have a gluten-free brand of Zoloft/Sertraline?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/

      Gluten Allergy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MMeade! I found taking Thiamine Vitamin B1 in the form Benfotiamine helpful.  I have Celiac, hypothyroidism, and diverticulitis.  Inflammation caused by Celiac or allergic reactions cause "leaky gut syndrome" which allows food particles to pass from the intestines into the blood stream where they cause further inflammation in the body and organs.  This inflammation can also prevent absorption of essential vitamins and minerals like thiamine and magnesium. Benfotiamine and its anti-inflammatory properties helps heal the intestines.  Benfotiamine also influences the microbiome in favor of beneficial bacteria, so it can help protect the intestines from bad bacteria that can cause a diverticulitis flair up.  I'm concerned about keeping my diverticulosis in check so I don't have to have my colon removed.   Benfotiamine helps the thyroid work better and relieves the fatigue that accompanies Hashimoto's.   Benfotiamine and magnesium work together to relieve constipation.  I take magnesium glycinate which is more gentle on the digestive system than magnesium oxides.  Magnesium oxides can be harsh on the digestive system because they pull water into the colon and the magnesium is not absorbed.   I follow a Paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, which limits carbohydrates.  I have type two diabetes, which is another autoimmune disease that is improved with thiamine (Benfotiamine).   I avoid processed gluten free facsimile foods because they are pretty much empty calories with little to no nutritional value.  It's a matter of retraining your brain to recognize a healthy diet.  Our bodies run better on healthy Omega three fats like olive oil or avocado oil.  I do have rice or potatoes occasionally, but feel much better without them.   The biopsies that were done, were they done on the removed colon?  Celiac cannot be diagnosed by examining the colon!   Biopsies from the small intestine needs to be examined microscopically for damage done by Celiac antibodies after a gluten challenge.  But not everyone can or should do a gluten challenge.  Genetic testing is warranted in that case.   Have you had a genetic test to see if you have any genes for Celiac?  Most people have HLA DQ 2 or DQ 8, but there are other Celiac genes out there.   You're not alone.  You have the whole tribe behind you now!

      Anyone have a gluten-free brand of Zoloft/Sertraline?

      By AMY KACHER · Posted

      I've found out that my prescription for Zoloft is no longer certified gluten-free. The factory that was making the particular brand name Zoloft I was taking is no longer making it. I'd rather not go through the ordeal of tapering off this medication and trying a replacement drug. Does anyone currently have a brand they have found that is gluten-free? The pharmacist at CVS told me he doesn't know and that I need to do this research on my own...and that the generic is made at many different labs depending on need, so no way to trace.

      Daughter struggling at the moment, has been on gluten free diet for almost 3 weeks now as advised. Felt really good at beginning of this week but today feeling seriously depressed, very tearful and says her life is no good. Had an emergency doctor appointment today, commenced on Diazepam 2mgs and referred to psychiatrist who is going to contact her over the next few days. Has also been given a sick line for work until 4th October.She video called us really upset and distressed which has not done me or her dad any good. Unfortunately we don’t live anywhere near her, she’s on the mainland and we live on an island. Hoping to get her home next week for a few days. Luckily her flat mate is understanding. Just wondering if anyone else has felt like this? Have tried to explain to her it’s not unusual to have these feelings. Having to wait for weeks for biopsy result isn’t helping either. Thanks for any advice anyone has. I’ve told her to get in touch with a coeliac group in her neighbourhood but it’s falling on deaf ears at the moment.
