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

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

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

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
