I have been gluten-free for a year but still have trouble with dh not as bad but its still there. I was woundering how you know what kind of salt your getting when all they list is sodium percent?I also work in a potato chip factory which might have something to do with it.Also cured meats like smoked bacon and ham.

If you are buying table salt they will clearly state if it is iodized or not on the carton. Sodium does not naturally contain iodine, unless it's sea salt. Sea salts have varying levels of iodine in them. Some manufacturers list it, others don't.

As for prepackaged foods you won't know unless you ask the manufacturer. Most pickled items won't use iodized salt since it makes the solution cloudy.

As far as working in a potato factory - I don't know. The skins are high in iodine but I don't think it will affect you through touch but I really don't know.

If you work in a potato chip factory, I'd also be on the look-out for MSG, depending on whether items with MSG are also packaged in the same facility or on the same lines. I had to give up anything by Frito Lay, for that reason. I might have to figure out how to make my own chips, since another brand I found says they are made in a facility that also packages gluten-y foods. And yet another brand uses several possible different oils, one of which may be soy which I avoid. Drat!

I believe that commercial salt used in processing is not iodised, though it is worth checking. But I would be more concerned about the possibility of gluten in various flavourings of the chips.

I eat plain crisps regularly without a problem, but I avoid all the flavoured varieties.

MSG is not an issue for celiacs specifically, although many celiacs may coincidentally be sensitive to MSG.

If the poster doesn't have a problem with MSG, why should she/he be watching out for it?

If I reduce my Iodine intake do I need to get some sort of supplement from my doctor, for thyroid?

You just REDUCE your iodine intake not cut out iodine completely. And you really should only do it for about a 2 week period. That doesn't mean to go hog wild on iodine after the 2 weeks is up but if you avoid the really high iodine foods & large quantities of them then you will still be getting enough iodine. A lot of people get a LOT of iodine & maybe even over the recommended max. because of the foods they eat. People who eat lots of seafood on a regular basis are probably getting way more iodine than they need & perhaps TOO much.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
