    Additional Things to Beware of to Maintain a 100% Gluten-Free Diet

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    • Rice and soy beverages because their production process may utilize barley enzymes.
    • Bad advice from health food store employees (i.e., that spelt and/or kamut is/are safe for celiacs).
    • Cross-contamination between food store bins selling raw flours and grains (usually via the scoops).
    • Wheat-bread crumbs in butter, jams, toaster, counter, etc.
    • Lotions, creams and cosmetics (primarily for those with dermatitis herpetaformis).
    • Toothpaste and mouthwash.
    • Medicines: many contain gluten.
    • Cereals: most contain malt flavoring, or some other non-gluten-free ingredient.
    • Some brands of rice paper.
    • Sauce mixes and sauces (soy sauce, fish sauce, catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.).
    • Ice cream.
    • Packet & canned soups.
    • Dried meals and gravy mixes.
    • Laxatives.
    • Grilled restaurant food - gluten contaminated grill.
    • Fried restaurant foods - gluten contaminated grease.
    • Ground spices - wheat flour is sometimes used to prevent clumping.

    According to the manufacturer's web site all varieties of Rice Dream non-dairy beverages and all varieties of Soy Dream non-dairy beverages are currently GLUTEN-FREE.

    Rice Dream states directly on the packaging that it is 'gluten free.' .

    I called the manufacturer of Rice Dream, and was assured that their (at least the organic variety) rice beverage was completely gluten-free. And as for malt flavoring, check with the manufacturer again, as some malt flavoring is from corn, not barley. It's annoying to have to make calls, but better safe than sorry, and sometimes you get the happy surprise that a seemingly 'unsafe' product is really safe.

    I have been diagnosed with Celiac since 2004 and never thought of the toaster oven as being a gluten carrier. Thank you so much for the tip. It's so hard to maintain a 100% gluten free diet in this high gluten society.

    What a great site, and very helpful information. My daughter who is 14 just got diagnosed last month and I also now have to read all labels and help her make sure that she is following the diet as best as she can. Thanks for the great work......

    Rice Dream irritates my stomach. I use West Soy Rice beverage, plain. It tastes like real milk. Don't forget to shake the rice containers before drinking because of settling.

    Re: Cluppins and Rice Dream irritating stomach. You're tummy may actually be bothered by the thickener used in many alternative 'milks' such as Rice Dream - carrageenan. My doctor brought this to my attention, along with problems attached to sugar substitute Chicolin. Both can cause cramping and stomach upset in general. Both don't bother my husband but they did me.

    Oops. I didn't realize that Rice Dream actually has barley in it. I was diagnosed AFTER I had stopped drinking it. However, my comments still stand for anybody out there regarding Chicolin and Carrageenan. Cheerio.

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Celiac.com 12/10/2000 - As reported in Ann Whelans September/October issue of Gluten-Free Living, the American Dietetic Association (ADA) has released the 6th edition of its Manual of Clinical Dietetics, which offers revised guidelines for the treatment of celiac disease. This manual is currently used by hospitals and doctors all over North America, and represents the most up-to-date source of information with regard to the dietary treatment of various illnesses. The new standards set in this publication conform more closely with current international standards.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa. I know i do. Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here...

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do. I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten. Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients. I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect. My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which...

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains. An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains. My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake...
