Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

This was one of the more recent thread on gluten-free cheerios.

Many discussions occurred on that product in 2017. From my observation and reading it is an individual choice based on reaction/no reaction when eating. Also if the individual is comfortable with the mechanical separation process.I

Personally when I first went gluten-free prior to diagnosis I ate gluten-free cheerios. After my gluten challenge and the years after I followed many of the veteran community members advice to be whole foods and avoid processed gluten-free foods as I grew intolerant to additives and additional ingredients.

I do not currently eat gluten-free cheerios as I still make my own baked goods etc. I feel better avoiding most gluten-free processed foods and foods with multiple additives and flavors.

what do you mean "be whole foods" ?

Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

Not processed. Produce section/ fresh foods . Fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, fresh meats/eggs. I make my own baked goods.

what about snacks..

Like Gluten free chips ?  ice cream ?   etc

Can I ask what you eat daily?  

For example...   what do you have for breakfast?   Lunch and dinner ?

And for snacks?

 

Whole Foods has a dedicated Gluten Free Bakehouse that makes breads and sweet treats, and their products are available at all of our US and Canadian stores.

I don't eat ice cream. I can't do cow milk. Store bought  ice cream has too many additives etc for me. We do buy gluten-free ice cream for my kids they like the brand cado and daiya ice cream bars.

My snacks are usually nuts,  quick veggie , or fruit. 

Chips in our home Kirkland gluten-free chips and Siete Food. I do not buy the corn containing choices as I avoid corn and corn dervatives.

Breyer’s Ice cream is labeled gluten free.  It is good.  Simple ingredients (plain vanilla).   I also buy certified gluten-free corn and potato chips.  But I do not have issues with soy, corn or milk which are common in processed foods.

B — plain yogurt with heavy cream, banana, cinnamon and egg “pancake”.  I eat yogurt and eggs every single day: fried, soft-boiled, hard-boiled, scrambled with cheese, meat, veggies.  
 

L — turkey roll-ups.  Made an egg salad with cheese sandwich for hubby.  Served with cut up veggies, fruit.

D — Grilled rosemary chicken, rice, green beans with yellow squash, yellow tomato, avocado and cucumber salad.  Breyers for dessert!  

I love chips and dessert like anyone else.  I definitely have been consuming more because my university student is home.  Not good because I do not want to gain weight and I am insulin resistant.

I would not trust ANY packaged/processed food, esp. Cheerios which, is packed full of garbage like most commercially-made cereals (additives, artificial flavors/colors, high fructose corn syrup)--much of it hidden by use of exotic, confusing content names, designed to fool even the most educated, careful label-reading shoppers). 

Gluten issue aside, commercial cereal makers have been making false claims ("heart-healthy" labels) and overcharging consumers for DECADES ($5-$7 for a box of what?? Artificially-colored and flavored junk, essentially compressed "saw-dust" with ZERO nutrients, made edible by massive infusions of sugar/high fructose corn syrup.  YUM....  

If you eat packaged cereals you also expose yourself to CC risks because most companies use the SAME equipment to harvest/process/package products containing wheat/rye/barley or fail to thoroughly separate, clean them.  

If you want HEALTHY grains, then eat oats, rice, quinoa.  "CERTIFIED gluten-free" of course...although I also have qualms about those--esp. since my tTG numbers have not yet returned to normal after 6 months on gluten-free diet.

Then what the hell are you supposed to eat...    

Maybe I'll just move to Alaska and live off the land...........   probably the only way you can get 100% gluten free

Cereal is okay for a celiac.  
 

There has been controversy over oats.  To place it safe, consider following the old celiac guidelines.  The old rule recommended no oats for six months.  Then test for a reaction as some celiacs actually react to oats.  This advice is still being dished out in Australia.  Oats are banned there for celiacs.

What cereal to eat now?  How about Chex Cereal?  Rice and corn versions are gluten free and are cheap.  We eat these cereals when we are camping.  Hubby like seeds and nut granola type cereal to mix in with the Chex (he is a casserole guy 🤣) or add to his yogurt.  We also add berries or bananas.  All this can be found at your local box stores like Walmart or Target or grocery stores.

Because you are older like me, antibodies can take a very long time to normalize — 1 to 3 years.  Look for a downward trend on those lab results.  If your symptoms are not improving, you might have another illness and it might not be due to active celiac disease.   TTG can be elevated  for other autoimmune reasons.   A repeat endoscopy might be a good idea for you.  Then you would know if gluten is really the culprit.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref. ID:1335211 Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix.               On Friday, December 6, 2024, 1:04 PM, Consumer <baking@continentalmills.com> wrote: December 06, 2024   Dear Janie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix. We appreciate your interest and are happy to provide you with additional information. This product does not contain gluten. However, it is not manufactured in a gluten free facility. If I can be of further help, please contact me at 1 (800) 457-7744, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (PT), or visit www.alpinecider.com and select "Contact Us." Sincerely, Kristin Kristin Consumer Relations Specialist Ref # 1335211   I hope this helps everyone.  I am currently looking for a spiced hot apple cider drink and have yet to find one that is not made in a plant that manufactures other gluten products.  It's so frustrating.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.
    • Rogol72
      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Thank you, Scott!  This is just what I needed.  Appreciate your site very much and all of your time and energy that goes into it! Kind Regards, Peg

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
