Hey everyone, 

I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and noticed at No Frills that no name chews flavour twists were on sale so I grabbed a few. I looked at the ingredients and I don’t see anything that screams gluten. Do any of you know if these are gluten free? 
 

Ingredients: Cornmeal, Corn And/or Canola And/or Mid-oleic Sunfloweroil, Seasoning [modified Milk Ingredients, Corn Maltodextrin, Salt,cheddar Cheese Solids (milk Ingredients, Salt, Bacterial Culture,microbial Enzyme), Natural Flavour, Spice Extracts, Lactic Acid, Sodiumphosphate, Calcium Lactate, Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate,yeast Extract, Radish Concentrate, Citric Acid, High Oleic Sunfloweroil, Black Currant Concentrate, Concentrated Apple Juice, Silicondioxide].

Since it does not have "gluten-free" on the package you may want to contact the company to make sure. In the USA this product would likely be naturally gluten-free, but I'm not so sure about Canada. These are the ingredients that could be an issue:

  • Maltodextrin: The source of maltodextrin is not specified. While maltodextrin can be gluten-free, it's essential to know its source.
  • Natural Flavour: The source of natural flavoring is not specified. Natural flavors can sometimes contain gluten, and it's recommended to verify with the manufacturer.

In Canada, any source of wheat, rye, or barley must be identified by its plain name in the ingredient list or in a Contains statement immediately below the ingredient list. If the natural flavor contained barley it would be listed as "natural flavor (barley)". If the maltodextrin was made from wheat, it would be listed as "maltodextrin (wheat)". If the yeast extract came from Brewer's yeast, it would be "yeast extract (barley)".  This ingredient list does not include any gluten-containing ingredients.

Thank you all for the info. It is very new to me but that completely makes sense. Even if I tried them I would not know if I was glutened or not. I am pretty well asymptomatic. They sound alright though I will contact the manufacturer to be sure

Farmhandyo, if you are in Canada, check out Celiac Canada for their Gluten-free 101 webinars (https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/events/). The next one is December 14th. It is a great introduction to reading labels, dining out, and all the other things you need to learn as a new celiac. I hope you are feeling well soon.

Do keep in mind that some Celiac people react to the protein in dairy as though it were gluten because segments the casein molecules resemble segments of gluten molecules.  This is called molecular mimicry.

I only got diagnosed because I had some odd bowel movements for about 2 weeks. But nothing that uncomfortable. I went to my family doctor and asked if she could do some blood tests to see if I had some sort of bacteria. I waited 2 weeks for the blood test results and I felt 100% back to normal. I tested positive for celiac disease. Everyone else in my family got tested and no one else has it. Did the endoscopy results came back as inconclusive (I had been eating lots of gluten though). Thankfully I have virtually no symptoms I am not even 100% sure if I have it or not but I probably do.

You might have been caught at the earliest stages of CeD.  Some of us old fogeys went undiagnosed for years or decades with accruing health problems.  When we're younger, our bodies can heal faster.  But as time goes on, symptoms pile up, too. Don't question your diagnosis.  Be thankful doctors are more aware of CeD than in the past.

      Skinesa

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.
