Citric Acid

I have a list of foods to avoid and citric acid is one of them but in the Classico Tomato and Basil tomato sauce it says the last ingredient is citric acid and when I called them to ask for sure if it was gluten free they said yes. What gives??

As far as I know it's ok from the gluten standpoint. Most times it is derived from corn.

Citric Acid was on the list of "things to be careful with" that we got from a Nutrionist when we first got started on the diet. She said that it can be derived from wheat (I would have never thought). It wasn't a "no no", just something to check on.

Citric acid is one of those things they used to tell you to watch out for, but as it turns out it's always gluten-free. This is NOT something to worry about.

      How are you doing, @sadiec123?  Did you get through the holidays alright?    Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Many newly diagnosed Celiacs  are low in Vitamin D and many of the B vitamins like thiamine.  Thiamin insufficiency can cause weight loss and loss of appetite (anorexia) as well as affect mood.   Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and improve mood.

      I agree, @Sarah Marie, it's best to keep eating gluten and get on the doctor's cancellation list.  Some people have extreme symptoms when reintroducing gluten after a brief abstinence.  Be sure she consumes six slices of bread or gluten-y equivalent a day in the two weeks prior to the endoscopy.  There are different amounts of gluten in different products.  Chewy pizza crust and artisan breads have more gluten than cookies and cakes. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Wow! That's really good information. I have noticed that my Celiac symptoms are ever increasingly seeming like allergy symptoms as well. Stuffed up head, horse throat post navel drip symptoms. I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand how to follow the links you sent for the expanded version of non-histamine diet? Are those Instagram addresses? Because I don't do Instagram. Thank you so much for that reply. To my knowledge, I'm okay on all of those things. Although I don't think that I've been tested for zinc. I do know when the flu's going around I try taking zinc mixed with quercetin but that seems to put my autoimmune into overdrive. As does some of these over-the-counter...

      Canker sores can be more frequent if deficient in zinc, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, iron and Vitamin D.   Following a low histamine paleo diet helps heal.  Mast cells in our body make histamine and release it as a part of the inflammation process.  Foods that contain high histamine levels can make inflammation worse.  Mast cells get "itchy triggers" and can release histamine when exposed to some spices and foods.  The vitamins listed above are also required to clear histamine along with Vitamin C.  Following a low histamine diet like @Mari and @Blue Roanand keeping a food journal like @Blue Roan does are excellent ways to travel on our...
