Continuing Gluten Questions

Hello everyone: I am new to the Gluten-Free Diet lifestyle, so am unfamiliar with what I am able to eat. Fortunately, I have a girlfriend whom is gluten-free now, but our knowledge is still limited. I hoped that you all could help determine what foods are considered okay to eat. 

 

My first question is whether or not I can eat these tortilla chips. I live in a Fraternity House and eat a lot of these.

 

I can't find out how to use the attachements, so here are the ingredients: Yellow Stone Ground Corn Masa Flour and a Trace of Lime, Vegetable Oil (Canola and/or Safflower and/or soybean, Salt, TBHQ, Citric Acid.

 

I researched the flour and saw an instance of one girl having a reaction to the flour, but she commented that it seemed to be a bad batch.

 

Are these generally okay to eat?

 

Thanks,

Nate

I see no gluten in those. Mind you, i'd be more concerned about getting CC'd by others who eat those than the chips themselves.

You need to eat more than chips.  Not sure if you can safely eat anything served in the Frat.  You might want to talk to the cook about that.

Hey guys! I have a few more questions. (1) I've seen that eggs can be a concern for some people. Whether the chicken is fed gluten-containing food or not. If you've read any of my other posts I'm not sure if I have gluten intolerance/celiacs or not, so obviously my symptoms are debilitating. Anyone care to weigh in if the eggs are a big deal? (2) High fructose corn syrup... Cool or not? And (3) Xanthum gum. It's in my salad dressing. I've read split rulings.

 

Thanks guys!

Make sure gluten fingers aren't reaching for the same bowl or bag.

Soooo, are you saying all those are O.K.?

Yes.  They are as long as you don't have a intolerance to them (some people do). 

 

Biggest thing is to get to that bag of chips before those "gluten eating" folks do.  I've been training my extended family to 1) let me eat first and 2) pour from the bag on to individual plates or a napkin.  No reaching into the bag.  No need to do this at home, since it's gluten free completely, but when visiting a gluten filled house, it's the only way to survive!

As for X gum, HF corn syrup and eggs - they are all gluten free. People, Celiac or not, can tolerate them. People, Celiac or not, don't tolerate one or more of them. You will have to see for yourself if those foods bother you or not.

Eggs are a staple food for me appearing poached daily on my breakfast table.  My cholesterol is not high.  They are an excellent protein source.  I would only take them out of my diet if I knew they were a problem.

They are ok as long as your friends don't contaminate the chips. Community food is always tricky for us celiacs. Make sure you get yours first or have a separate stash.

Thanks so much for all the responses everyone! I'm really happy to of found such a helpful forum. 

 

I doubt you have read my other thread. I am a possible candidate for Gluten sensitivity/Celiacs. It's not debilitating to me, but I have bloating, occasional diahrrea in the morning, brain fog, and fatigue. Also my hormones looking good. Those are the symptoms I think are related to Celiacs. 

 

Do you think that I need to be concerned about cross-contamination from people in the chips if my symptoms aren't SO bad?

 

Also, does anyone know if Whey Protein is gluten-free? I see glutamine on the back and that has me worried.

Glutamine isn't gluten. Whey is a part of milk. Both gluten-free.

Have you been tested for Celiac?

Okay great. Do you know if the Whey Protein's other ingredients are okay or if there is a possibility of cross-contamination? I can post the ingredients on this forum if that is more helpful.

 

And this is the link to my other thread. I have the test is posted there.

Whey is an ingredient. It is a part of milk. It wouldn't have any other ingredients. It might be an ingredient in a protein powder. Most of them seem happy to state gluten-free on them if they are.

Glutamine and whey are gluten-free. Whey is dairy, so that may be of concern to those with dairy issues.

Okay great. And since high fructose corn syrup is okay I assume then that corn syrup is also? And I want to eat Pop Secrets Homestyle popcorn. The only thing I wonder about is the artificial flavoring. Is that normally gluten free?

Yes. Flavor is not a concern. The only one that might be a concern is barley malt, but since it is an expensive ingredient it isn't hidden--the company will be proud of it and want you to know.

I'd buy a new protein power, but I have had a bottle sitting around for some time now. I'm going to start taking it because the protein is beneficial and the calories are nice for a gluten free diet. So sorry if this seems redundant, but I'm going to list the ingredients it to err on the side of caution since I will be consuming this daily. I don't want to be sabotaging myself on a daily basis! If you guys see any red lights please let me know.

 

Micronized Amino Acids: Glutamine (as Whey Protein Isolate and Micronized Glutamine), Arginine (as Micronized Arginine and Whey Protein Isolate)

Leucine (as Whey Protein Isolate and L-Leucine

L-Carnitine (as Carnitine Tartrate

Amino Acceleration System

Enzyme Matrix Blend (Amylase, Protease 4.5, Protease 6.0, CereCalase, Peptidase, Alpha-galactosidase, Glucoamylase, Bromelain, Protease 3.0, Lipase, Protease AM, Invertase, Lactase), Aminogen, Carbogen

 

Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Hydrolyzed Whey), Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Polydextrose, Lecithin, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium

 

Contains: Milk and Soybean

 

So there you have it! Again sorry if I am being over-cautious. Just want to make sure. Also there is another artificial flavoring on there so hopefully that is okay.

 

And if anyone wants to know it is called Amplified Wheybolic Exreme 60 Dietary Supplement

      Corn reaction and ataxia

      Hi all. I was diagnosed 3 years ago after suffering for many years of misdiagnosis. There are a couple of things I’d like to ask. The first is about corn. Do you react to it like gluten. My dietician told me that corn should never be a problem for me and suggested probiotics with corn starch and other corn ingredients in. I had stayed away from corn for 2...

      Celiac pain relief

      Hope you're feeling better. I use a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine (Vitamins B 1, B12, and B6) for pain relief. Together these vitamins together have pain killing effects (analgesic). They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete any excess. They are safe to take. Hope this helps.

      Corn reaction and ataxia

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi all. I was diagnosed 3 years ago after suffering for many years of misdiagnosis. There are a couple of things I’d like to ask. The first is about corn. Do you react to it like gluten. My dietician told me that corn should never be a problem for me and suggested probiotics with corn starch and other corn ingredients in. I had stayed away from corn for 2 years beforehand and should have trusted my gut (no pun intended) because after 2 capsules, I have had the worst reaction for a long time. All the usual gut problems (pain and D) migraine, fatigue, aches and pain, tinnitus etc etc. (I could go on) Does anyone else react to corn like this?  Also, for years now I have been going downhill with my health neurologically. I have to now walk with a stick as I have big  balance issues, I fall, I have numbness in legs and pins and needles. I feel like I can’t control my body with movements. They have said possible MS, fibromyalgia, ME etc etc. But my dietician has said it’s classic gluten ataxia symptoms and to see a professor here in the UK who specialises in this field. Does anyone else have this and what symptoms do you have? Thank you

      Lectins are carbohydrate storage proteins.  Different plants have different lectins.  Gluten is a lectin, but not all lectins are gluten.   Lectins are made up of a protein "spine" with a bunch of carbohydrate molecules stuck to it.  During digestion, the carbohydrates get pulled off, but that protein "spine" can get stuck to cell membranes.  In Celiac, our immunity kicks on when exposed to gluten.  Gluten is made up of a string of polypeptides.  One particular segment in that string, the 33-mer segment, triggers our built-in celiac immunity to produce antibodies against it when it sticks to HLA DQ genes.  Unfortunately, our body makes tissue transglutaminase, used in cell membranes as support structures, which also contains segments of that 33-mer polypeptide.  The anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (ttg antibodies) attack the tissue transglutaminase on our cell surfaces, as well as the gluten in celiac disease.   In acquired immunity - our body gets sick once, learns to produce antibodies against the thing causing the illness, and "remembers" so it can make more antibodies against it if it's encountered again.   Our body can "learn" to attack those protein "spines" of lectins that may be stuck to cell surfaces.  To lessen the probability that the body will "learn" to attack other lectins in addition to the gluten lectin, avoiding all grains while the immune system is reacting to gluten is a great idea.   Lectins can be irritating to the gastrointestinal system.   Lectins can stimulate IgE (allergic) reactions.  Lectins can cause mast cells to release histamine. Lectins can be difficult to digest.  Lectins can be fermented by gastrointestinal bacteria and yeasts, causing gas, bloating and diarrhea or constipation.  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Candida overgrowth both have symptoms similar to Celiac Disease.  Corn lectins are more apt to be problematic than most other lectins.   Avoiding lectins in the early stages of going gluten free can help reduce other gastrointestinal symptoms and speed up recovery. I have a horrible response to corn, maize, zein.  I break out with Dermatitis Herpetiformis blisters if I consume corn or products made with corn derivatives.   But, there's no gluten in corn or other grains.  Gluten and that 33-mer polypeptide are only in barley, wheat and rye.  And some breeds of oats.   Try a low histamine, low carbohydrate, low Fodmap, grain free, Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to see how much better you can feel.   It's not always gluten; the immune response is just going crazy.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1115436/

(emphasis mine) From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten What I found most interesting is that some cultivars of oats contain gluten. Could this explain, in part at least, the controversy surrounding oats? I mean, depending on the source, it could indeed sometimes include gluten and cause a celiac reaction.
