Food Items That Look Gluten-free But Are Not

Just wanting to start a list of foods that look like they may be gluten-free from the ingredients list, but from actual experiences, seem not to be and have caused problems.

I am going to start the list off with:

Wellshire Farms' Primo Naturale sliced and dried Hot Chorizo.

The ingedients list has "spices" listed. I have reacted very terribly crippling badly after each time eating this product. I emailed the company, and they claim that the "spices" are just pepper, but I really do not think so. (Why didn't they just list pepper then, rather than spices, in the plural????) I wouldn't call this a gluten-free product.

It is possible, that there is hidden gluten in it. But it is also possible that you have intolerances to things other than gluten as well, and that you reacted to one of the listed ingredients.

I think there is wheat flour in the paprika.

Anyways, on with the list - any food that lookd to be gluten-free but gave you problems.

I'm going to add Penzy Spices.

I believe some of their spicves has flour in it, even if they claim it doesn't. I know I reacted.

(Incidentally, I only react to gluten or peanuts, so my list of intolerances is small enought o know if somethig has gluten and anyways, let this list serve as a heads-up and beware of this one....)

Also, it is noteworthy that their spices do not have a strong spice smell, as other spices do.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
