Are These Foods Okay To Eat?

My Mother was diagnosed with this disease a few weeks ago, and I'm trying

to help her determine what she can and can't eat. She love's to eat popcorn

but is not sure if it is allowed on the diet. Is microwavable popcorn okay?

Also, is shrimp okay, the ready-to-eat store bought variety?

Some of the books that I've looked at concerning the diet are rather

confusing and seem to contradict one another. Can you recommend

a really good book that covers the subject completely?

Thanks in advance, and forgive my ignorance --- I'm kind of caught

in the middle of this thing and still have a lot to learn.

Best.

Rad

There is another post here (maybe someone can help me find it?) that has a list of gluten free mainstream foods in a pdf file. I downloaded it to my palm and take it with me when I go shopping. It has helped alot.

Hi Rad, welcome to the board. It is very sweet that you are trying to help her cope and learn with this diet!

To answer your specific questions, yes most pop corn is ok (Pop Secret), fresh or frozen shrimp is ok, just check the seasonings you may add to it and the cocktail sauce.

As for the shrimp seasonings -- I checked and Old Bay is okay (made by McCormicks) and of course you can easily make homemade cocktail sauce with Heinz ketchup, Lea & Perrins worchestershire, lemon juice (fresh preferably - or ReaLemon is gluten-free) and tons of horseradish if you're game for that! In my opinion, the more the better! :) We never buy sauce.

All Act II popcorn is also gluten-free. don't know if you have it in your area though.

The Celiac Sprue Association's gluten free product listing is another good reference for the names of manufacturers of gluten-free products. It lists the popcorns and all sorts of things from A-Z.

      I was diagnosed with celiac 19 years ago and have traveled globally. For Portugal - carry a written, translated statement (in Portuguese) that advises you have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. Carry French translation for France. No wheat, rye or barley. I would select grilled or baked meat - ask the grill to be cleaned. Steamed veggies- no sauce. No soy sauce. No vinegars unless you know what kind. I carry gluten free bars. Eat fruit and nuts as snacks. Do - choose gluten free restaurants. It’s easier.  Always verify. Some restaurants add pancake batter to omelettes or crackers to hamburgers. Avoid French fries (tossed in flour and high risk of cross contamination in oil).  Do not drink beer - select Bulmers,Stella Artois or Angry Orchid - hard apple cider or wine. Avoid ice cream - often contains flour. I generally avoid desserts.  If you order a gluten free pizza - do not let servers put a regular pizza on top. Do not use the same pizza cutter or server. I avoided most appetizers. Fresh fruit makes a great dessert.  Or, I stop at a grocery and buy gluten free desserts and breakfast bars. Do not trust morning buffets. Hope this helps. Europe is easier than U.S. if you call ahead to verify they accommodate gluten free. If they say no, find a different restaurant.

      Keep in mind, Hannah, that of you are on a gluten free diet and want to get tested for celiac disease, any testing would be invalid until you were back on generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months.

      Hi, the test I did was an online one with list of positive feedback. I initially did the test as I thought I may be lactose intolerant but with the results showing high sensitivity to gluten as well as dairy I thought I’d just ask for foods that may benefit me and my symptoms as well as follow these results up with a blood test with my doctors. It doesn’t specify coeliac, it just showed a very high sensitivity to gluten

      Also, I've not heard of any legitimate allergy tests which use hair samples, certainly there is no test for celiac disease which uses a hair sample. Are you sure your tests are legitimate?

      Welcome to the forum community, @Hannah2907! I know this is going to be all very confusing, Hannah, but the first thing to realize is that celiac disease is not an allergy and it cannot be diagnosed by allergy testing. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an inflammatory reaction to the ingestion of the protein "gluten" which is found in wheat, barley and rye.  Autoimmune disorders speak to diseases where the body's immunes system attacks the body's own cells. In the case of celiac disease, when food containing gluten is ingested, it triggers an attack in the villous lining of the small bowel. This causes inflammation in the villous lining and produces characteristic antibodies that can be detected in the blood through certain lab tests. This inflammation often (but not always) causes discomfort and other GI distress and always wears down the villous lining. This "wearing down" of the villous lining over time causes increasing inefficiency of nutrient absorption and can cause serious vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical problems. The villous lining of the small bowel is essentially where all the nutrition in our food is absorbed. The damage done to the villous lining can also be detected through an upper GI scoping ("endoscopy") with a biopsy. The endoscopy/biopsy is typically used as confirmation when the antibody blood testing is positive for celiac disease. Celiac disease may also be referred to as "gluten intolerance".  There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS is also known simply as "gluten sensitivity" but, unfortunately, many people use the terms "gluten intolerance" "gluten sensitivity" interchangeably. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease. The main difference is that celiac disease damages the villous lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Both require complete abstinence from gluten. Some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease. The immune system pathway of NCGS is not well understood though, like celiac disease, it is not an allergy. My point in all of this is to help you understand that the testing you have undergone for allergies is not effective for diagnosing gluten disorders. You need to get blood antibody testing done that is specifically designed to detect celiac disease. Many people with gluten disorders also must avoid dairy and sometimes oats, even gluten-free oats.
