I'm curious about whether the gluten-free products I feed my son are truly completely gluten free. Here are the gluten-free foods he often eats:

-Yoplait vanilla yogurt

-Erewhon's version of rice crispies

-the gluten-free rice crispies

-gluten-free cinnimon Chex cereal

-Welch's fruit snacks

-Walmart's Great Value brand fruit cups

-Walmart's cheese

-Fruity pebbles

-Kinnikinick cookies

-Enjoy Life cookies

-Classico pasta sauce

-Minute white rice microwaveable bowls

Has anyone reacted to any of these products before?

Chex and Fruity Pebbles certainly have a chance of CC, but, yes, all of those are supposed to be gluten-free.

The ones I bolded I HAVE NOT used so I can not answer about those but the others I have eaten with no problems at all. Many of the items you listed are either dairy products or products that would be eaten with dairy ie. cereals. Perhaps he has an issue with dairy? Is your home gluten free? He could be getting CC from gluten items others eat or use if your not really careful. Also is he a little person who plays with stuff like Playdoh? Some of those types of things are not safe for us to use.

I would agree with the above. In addition, I have had all the bold items without a problem with exception to the white rice bowls. I have never had these.

As we speak I am having a bowl of Chex Cinnimon Cereal, its my favorite, no problems what so ever, so you can check that one off the list.

Do you ask the question for reassurance? In that case, read no further.

Do you ask because he has symptoms?

There are different levels of sensitivity. While the majority might handle those foods just fine, there are a minority of celiacs/gluten intolerants who react to foods like that. We are the super sensitive celiacs. You need to be watching out for symptoms, plus blood antibody levels can be an indication of a reaction to gluten.

I was thinking the same thing. Out of your list we have not had the classico pasta sauce or the rice bowls. We have tried the Kinnikinick K-toos and animal cookies and loved them and no problems. We also tried one flavor of enjoy life cookie, while no reaction, we didn't like them. As for the rest of the list we have and do buy and eat those without incident. The cinnamon flavor in the cinnamon chex can be problematic for me. It's not the chex cereal but the flavoring as I have had issues with other products with cinnamon flavor.

I use Classico sauces (the red ones) all the time - I *might* have had issues with the olive one a while back, never tried it again. We use the mushroom one a lot.

This is always so difficult ! When one gets 'zinged' by something, it seems like everything causes a reaction - it takes a lot of sleuthing to figure things out !

I also like Classico pasta sauces. Right now I have the Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onions.

This from the Classico website: Open Original Shared Link

Which of the Classico® sauces are gluten-free?

All of the Classico® red and white sauces are gluten-free.

ETA: I just discovered they also have a lot of recipes on their site. Maybe that'll give me some badly-needed inspiration.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
