I'm probably the most annoying person on this forum. Lately I've been posting everyday?  ok wondering a few brand options for products just need a list....

Pickles:

Green olives:

Banana peppers:

Lunchmeat: turkey/salami/pepperoni

Hard/block cheese (cheddar or colby): (was told the meijer brand block cheese contained gluten through, that was by the store manager so don't know if it was fully accurate)

Marshmallows:

Vanilla and cinnamon:

Garlic powder:

That's it for now I'll probably think of more. Trying to add some easy things to my diet.

Just read the ingredients?  Its very unlikely to have gluten in pickled stuff or cheese (except the beer cheese).  Never seen a marshmallow with gluten (I like Kraft because I think they are better).  I use McCormick for most spices & vanilla..  they are just spices.  Never seen a vanilla with gluten.  

 

IN the US, wheat will be clearly announced in the ingredients (its a law).  Rye is only in a few things like bread or crackers & its an ingredient so it will be listed as an ingredient.  Barley is listed as barley or malt (usually barley malt).  Brewers yeast sometimes contains gluten - so avoid.  Oats need to say gluten-free oats or the product needs to be listed as gluten-free.

 

Lots of pre-packed lunch meats actually say gluten free on them.  Go to the store and look!

so demanding! :):) I should have stated that many people on the forums scare me and discourage me from venturing out into the gluten free world because of so much worry upon cross contamination (rightfully so) but also I feel like when people on these threads state they are constantly reacting to gluten free foods sold on the shelf, me as a semi new celiac get discouraged to try things other than chicken and potatoes. But I'm glad I got some insight on the marshmallows. Means I can make some candied yams for thanksgiving. Thanks for the advice I'll go shopping!

Karen,

Have you ever tried boars head or applegate lunchmeats? Any good?

Most Boarshead cold cuts are gluten free. Boarshead has been the only brand I would eat ever.

I buy both.  Never been glutened by them.   I do avoid the deli counter.  I choose those that are factory packaged.

There are people convinced they react to water....

Use some common sense and read labels. Most Celiacs don't post on here and most probably live their lives believing when a product says it is gluten-free that it is gluten-free.   I have seen people convinced they are reacting to a gluten-free product but it turns out to be something else.  Don't let people scare you if it makes no sense.

If I look back to the few times I have been glutened, it was most likely food prepared by someone else (restaurants).  Usually when I was traveling.  But.... the travel was worth it.  You need to weigh the risks vs. the benefits.  It is why we keep saying there is a steep learning curve for celiacs.  For some going gluten free heals them fast.  For others, they need to indentify food intolerances. While for others, they must deal with other issues that complicate their healing.  But it can be done.  It just takes time and patience.  

Karen is right.

When I was a Newbie, I kept thinking that gluten-free bread was glutening me.  My hubby never reacted.  Turns out I had an issue with Xanthan Gum.  Now I bake for myself and never get a reaction.

I think there are degrees of gluten sensitivity and intolerances.  You just need to figure what works for you and that takes time.  

So, most of the foods you listed, I do not eat.   Not because of gluten, but of my various intolerances or dietary restrictions (e.g. diabetes).  We are all different and they way we cope with avoiding gluten can be very different too.  

I am going to fall off my diabetic wagon and eat a slice of my gluten-free pumpkin cream cheese cake roll on Thanksgiving though....and the mashed potatoes!  My blood sugar will take a hit, but my tummy will be happy!

Thanks for your thoughts and advice. Have a good thanksgiving and go easy on the pie!?

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)
    • trents
      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
