Two of the ingredient lists say Caramel Color - I thought that was bad, or could be...am I wrong? I didn't buy the chocolate stuff my son would LOVE that I never let him have before because of sugar (I only let the kids get healthy cereals). So, is caramel color good or bad...thanks.

supposedly, caramel color in the united states is not likely to contain gluten. so far, we have not worried too much about caramel coloring when it is listed on the label----and we are seeing improvement.

for anyone who might know-------what would be in caramel coloring that could contain gluten? if it is only wheat---than the new labeling laws should eliminate the concern---is that right?

Ok, I was eating Honey Comb until the wheat maffia got to them.

I know Corn Pops were gluten free until they folded too.

Does anyone know what real brands (by real brands I mean Kelloggs, Post, GM, Quaker) that are gluten free?

Oh and why again is Barley malt bad?

:D You might give EnviroKidz Gorilla Munch and EnviroKidz Panda Puffs a try.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.
