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!?

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
