When Will I Learn?

I say it all the time... I must read EVERY SINGLE LABEL, EVERY SINGLE TIME!! I'm usually really good about it!!

So, I'm on this wt. loss diet that's essentially lean protein, fruits, and veggies, and small amts. of starch (for me that means rice, potatoes, squashes... the others aren't gluten-free.

My celiac symptoms are so nonexistent right now... I've never been "digestively" better!

So, yesterday I was looking for a certain brand of deli turkey breast (Boarshead) that I know is good... and took a look at the packaged deli meats that I've bought many times for yummy lunch sandwiches. I was looking for sugars and fats and salt.

Every single one contained modified food starch.

How could I be so stupid?? I amaze myself sometimes!!

Back to label reading 101!!

modified food starch is USUALLY from corn, in the US it should be corn, unless it is clearly labled as wheat. With the new allergen labeling laws in effect, the companies have to disclose if the modified food starch is from a wheat source. so if it is it should say Modified Food Starch (wheat) and then at the end of the ingredients statement in bold it should say contains wheat products

Some of the Boars Head meats in the deli case will say gluten free right on the wrapping

When I called Boars Head, they said all of their deli meats were gluten free. But, there were only a couple of them that were corn free. I was calling about the corn, but we did discuss the gluten.

      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.

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.
