Hidden Glutens


Iron Jack Kidd

Recommended Posts

Iron Jack Kidd Newbie

Hi,

I'm still struggling with the hidden glutens and ran across this list of potential harmful ingredients. Veterns of the board, do you think is 50/50 that there is gluten in these itmes, or is it 100% chance. What are your experiences?

unidentified starch

modified food starch

hydrolyzed vegetable protein - HVP

hydrolyzed plant protein - HPP

texturized vegetable protein - TVP

binders

fillers

excipients

extenders

malt

Thanks for your input.

the chance doesn't matter. unless you know for sure that it does NOT contain gluten, you don't eat it. period.

unidentified starch - must be identified now by law

modified food starch - unless it's Kraft or another trusted company and you know it's safe, it's a toss up. Usually it's corn, but you have to call.

hydrolyzed vegetable protein - HVP - usually gluten

hydrolyzed plant protein - HPP - usually gluten

texturized vegetable protein - TVP - usually gluten

binders - has to be identified by law if has a top 8 allergen

fillers - has to be identified by law if it has a top 8 allergen

excipients - call and check

extenders - call and check

malt - unless it says rice malt, it's ALWAYS gluten (barley)

the chance doesn't matter. unless you know for sure that it does NOT contain gluten, you don't eat it. period.

THIS IS 100% TRUE

agreed.

I never really rely on odds anyway, even if I did know them, murphy's law applies to me so often it's not funny. Unless I am 100% sure it's safe I don't eat it (and then still I get sick sometimes........:()

Thanks for the replies...

Looking at the ingredients of Oberto Beef Jerky it says hydrolyzed corn and soy protein. I guess hydrolyzed means gluten... This is a bummer for me; I was eating this to bump up my protein intake to compensate for my high glucose problems (I will never give up fruit, at this point)...

Oh and looking at a can of Mug root beer it says; Modified food starch. Hurrmn…

The list gets narrowed down.

I'd research the root beer if it's something you like, it's not necessarily gluten, but you need to contact them to see what it is.

Corn and soy protein are okay as long as you don't have a problem with either corn or soy. Raw almonds will serve the same purpose, for variety's sake.

you don't have to throw those products out, you just have to call or email the company. hydrolized doesn't mean gluten - hydrolyzed is a chemical process. hydrolyzed corn and soy protein means that it comes from corn and soy, not wheat, barley, rye, or oats, so it's safe. Oberto is fine (except for one flavor - teriyaki, I think), as is Whole Foods and Tillamook's Beef Nuggets (again, some flavors).

I have been under the impression that Muggs is gluten free.

Yes, Mug's Root Beer is gluten free. They claim that on their website actually. Open Original Shared Link

I just had to look this up a couple of weeks ago, only reason I know. There might be other stuff in it that your body doesn't do well with, you can get a listing of all their ingredients on there if you want.

Are there any sodas that contain gluten? I haven't found one yet, but just curious.

What is the scoop on malt Flavoring?? Anybody?? :huh:

It definitely has gluten. Unless it says it's rice malt, it's from barley.

lovegrov Collaborator

Hydrolized proteins and even modified food starches are in fact almost always gluten-free, and now if they have wheat it has to be listed in food. And wheat is what would be hidden in these things. The only warning heere is that if a company still has labels it printed up before the labeling law took effect, they can use those labels until they're gone.

O'berto's jerky is gluten-free EXCEPT the 2 or 3 flavors that clearly list wheat. Mug root beer is gluten-free.

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
