Specifically Barley Malt Extract?

Hello,

I have read that specifically barley malt extract is so minutely for malt flavoring that it is considered gluten free.  Is this true?  Are cereals (corn flakes) and granola bars that have barley malt extract considered gluten free and safe to eat for a person who has celiac disease?

Thank you for your help and guidance.

Short answer, "No." Long answer is it will depend on how much of the extract is used in the product and how sensitive a celiac the individual is who is consuming the product. It is likely that it will produce a celiac reaction in many because they are on the sensitive side. At the end of the day that is the issue. But the other question is concerning the "Gluten Free" advertising standard. Does the product exceed the 20ppm standard?

Hi Spencer!

No, barley malt is not safe. 😞 I have had success with Chex rice or corn cereal.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Many people dignosed with Celiac need to have their Gall Bladder removed from years of Celiac symtoms distroying our organs. Also NSAID (Liver disease) also associated with Celiac as everything you eat and drink is filtered by your Liver. So this is not uncommon; seeing more and more of Liver disease on the increase.

      The most comprehensive book for Celiac is writtin by Dr Peter Green  "Celiac a hidden Epidemic".  Dr. Green is one of the leading Celiac doctors in the country and research also.  His book is well written and is easy to understand. I refer to it as my Celiac Bible. Your local library may have a copy or It is also sold on Amazon .  He has an updated version also; but I have not had a change to read it yet. There is also one "Celiac for Dummies".  If your have kids with Celiac, it makes it simple to know what they are dealing with.  But it is still an Adult book. And this site is wonderful.  Scott has helped the Celiac community so much and you can rely on his responses. GIG.net will keep you informed about the labeling laws.  Summer camp for Kids with Celiac and so much more.
