HIDDEN SOURCES OF GLUTEN

You'll be surprised to find that gluten turns up in the most unlikely places. It's not simply a matter of avoiding bread, pastries and obvious sources of offending grains. Gluten is often disguised in seemingly "safe" food items.

It is important to read labels; however, labels will not spell "gluten" out for you. Instead, gluten hiding behind names such as: artificial colorings or flavorings, cereal, flour, modified food starch, food starch, emulsifiers, stabilizers, texturized vegetable protien (TVP), hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP), grain vinegar, malt, caramel flavor, vanilla and other extracts, and artificial/natural flavorings, etc. By law hydrolyzed vegetable protien (HVP) must state the source on the label

When these words are listed, you cannot be sure if they contain gluten or not. Always remember, when in doubt, don't buy it. If it's a product you really long to eat, see if another brand omits the offending ingredient; or again, write to the company for more information.

It is also important to know that when many foods are in production, the belts that transport the food through the factory may be coated with some kind of starch to keep the foods from sticking to the belt. Question the starch source.

I'm new, been gluten-free (or trying to be) for two months so i can't verfiy the above is true but, I thought I would post it to see if it helps anyone.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By trents · Posted

      There are some causes besides celiac disease for elevated tTG-IGA, such as cow's milk protein, some other bowel diseases, NSAIDs, a certain blood pressure med and parasitic infections but the chances of that being true are not very high compared to the cause being celiac disease. And even with CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) most of those cases involve people who already have celiac disease.

      Did you purchase it thinking it was gluten free? The company doesn't advertise it as such do they? Barley is not one of the eight main allergens that the FDA requires to be posted in the allergen info. Wheat is but not barley. But good catch. We don't see many products with barley and rye as ingredients and it is easy to get lazy, not really read the detailed ingredient list and to just go straight for the allergen list.

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.
