hi all... i was offically diagnosed monday... andi am bummed... and overwhelmed.. my doc told me to see a nutritionst... which i will.. but in the mean time... this is a lot to take in.. i didn print the lists you suggested to billygoat.. and i am even more overwhelmed.. where do i start??? help..lol... i'm trying to suck it up .. but this sux!...

:unsure:

Don't be suprised if the nutritionist is a little lost. Lots of doctors are also lost when it come to celiac disease diet. You'll find as much info on the boards as anywhere but don't always trust that either. Check yourself when in doubt of an ingriedient. Just my experience.

That is interesting so, I can go back to drinking my herbal teas. Like apple and cinnamon. It is nice that we have our own urban legends.

hehe :-) yep. do check the ingredients, of course, particularly on herbals, as toasted barley appears in some teas. (it's flavorful - like toasted rice in asian tea.) but many are gluten free. (celestial seasonings will list "gluten free" on the bottom of the box, even!)

It is DEFINITELY possible to get glutened by drinks. My biggest beef is Tropicana. I got sick as a dog from drinking their lemonade and then did some research and found out that they use gluten (hidden under "natural flavors") in all but 2 of their US plants. That's when I crossed them off my shopping list FOREVER.

Celestial Seasonings will clearly label any gluten ingredients. I've had no problem with Tetley or Lipton. Sick as a dog from Yogi tea though.

Also, I now refrain from mixed drinks in bars because many of the frozen drink mixes use "natural flavors" and I got very sick from a margarita once. Sad... but if I want one I make it myself with fresh fruit and ice and know that I'm safe (and it tastes better anyway).

tea bags, tropicana?????? that is BAD. I didn't even think to look there. I have an entire shelf devoted to tea bags. And it does make sense re: tropicana, I always get sick from drinking it, thought it was the acid. And yet I am able to suck on lemons and limes iwthout a problem. duh!! This is crazy.

I got mad the other day and ate a store bought cookie, it wasn't even good as I like home baked much better, but I was mad and obviously not rational. I am soooo paying for it now.

The wining from the family is going to increase x10 if I cut out their Tropicana, any good brands that are ok???

Their OJ makes me a little sick too, ive never been an OJ drinker b/c of it, and like you i thought it was the acid! But it seems like most of their OJs are gluten-free b/c most dont have natural flavors-- is it the cross-contamination problem?

I'm not sure what the exact problem is BUT this is what i found from the Delphi list after I got sick from their lemonade:

Tropicana (800.237.7799) (Open Original Shared Link) (vp=7/23/04).

Only “Pure Premium” from certain facilities can be guaranteed gluten-free. The facility number is listed after the expiration date.

Tropicana (PepsiCo) (800.237.7799) (vp=07/24/02) (www.tropicana.com)

The following Tropicana Juices are gluten-free: Ruby Red Orange; Orange Banana; Orange Pineapple; Orange Tangerine; Orange Strawberry; and all 100% juices are gluten-free (as long as Natural Flavors is not listed). For those with natural flavors you should call the company. Some are gluten-free and some aren't. Some of those listed above might contain natural flavors but these have been verified as gluten-free.

I say call 'em and give em an earful! Minute Maid and Newman's own are gluten-free. You can access the Delphi list (invaluable resource) by going to:

Open Original Shared Link

and downloading the files. i have found their lists to be very reliable. Best, Beverly

Oh boy--I drink Trop. Pure Premium EVERY morning. Its my favorite. Now I wonder if when my stomach dosen't feel right during the day for no apparent reason, if thats it. What if I get a carton from the wrong facility? This never ends :( . Anyway, thanks Bev for bringing that to my attention. I did check with them early on and was told that packages with 48 as the first numbers in the code were gluten-free. That was before I learned about the dreaded cross contamination. Oy.

Yeah- I know. It's a BIG beef with me. I wouldn't trust them but that's just my opinion. I buy Newman's. I trust Paul :D

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
