I have read contradicting information regarding, Vinegar, Vanilla Extract, Natural Flavours and Food Coloring.

Are any of these safe? After being diagnosed with Celiac I saw a dietician and the only information she could give me was Celiac.com.

Are there any other sites with legit information??

Thanks again and thank god for this site.

Melanie

P.S. I am from Canada so are products different from country to country?

Welcome :)

This is probably your best source for online, reliable information! It is frustrating that you can't get reliable info from a dietician, but I'm happy she referred you to the right place.

Yes, it can vary from country to country, esp food labeling laws.

Check out that link....it has a bunch of great info. One of them specifically addresses vinegar. Malt vinegar and apple cider FLAVORED vinegar is not safe, but I believe all others are. (apple cider vinegar is safe...just not the "flavored" one).

Vanilla is almost always safe. McCormick's vanilla extract is safe. The problem used to be the alcohol, and it is safe.

Hope this is a start....

Heinz apple cider flavored vinegar is now on their gluten free list. I'm pretty sure the brand was Heinz... Whoever owns Ore-Ida.. I think it's Heinz. It used to be on their no-no list, but now it's considered gluten free. I am in the US, I don't know if the same is true for Canada.

      I agree. PPI use long term is concerning. I believe a combination of PPI use along with a history of antibiotics for colds and sore throats led me to develop CDiff and Ulcerative Colitis shortly after a minor knee op. Lowering inflammation and bloating through diet can significantly help getting off PPIs in my experience.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Celiacandme · Posted

      My gastroenterologist had me incorporate VSL#3 to help with similar issues. It can take a long time to heal. I also found adding kiwi to my diet was soothing to my stomach. For me, it was important to avoid other inflammatory foods. Dairy, corn, etc, were aggravating to my stomach. Bone broth has been another life saver for me over the years. I do know I continue to be sensitive. If I were to have dairy for two days in a row it would be like adding a log to a fire to my sensitive system. I do also have issues with acid reflux though. (Barrett's esophagus) I also stay up after eating. They say to for 3 hours but even 2 is helpful. Keep us posted on how you are. Hope you get some relief soon.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease, especially those undiagnosed for a long time, to experience lasting digestive issues even after going gluten-free. The damage caused by years of inflammation in the small intestine can sometimes lead to other conditions like delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis), acid reflux, or food intolerances. Staying upright after eating can help with digestion, particularly if reflux is an issue, as lying down can exacerbate symptoms. Greasy or fatty foods can be harder to digest, especially if your digestive system is still healing or if you’ve developed sensitivities. It’s important to discuss these ongoing symptoms with a gastroenterologist, as there might be additional treatments or dietary adjustments that could help. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like your stomach needs extra care, and hearing others’ experiences can be validating. One thing you should do is look at your diet again, and be sure that it is 100% gluten-free. Choline is a supplement that may help you with your symptoms, so consider this as well. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Welcome to the forum, @RobHicks! Actually, celiac disease damages the upper part of the small bowel rather than the stomach. It's the part of the intestine right below the stomach. Since being diagnosed, have you had a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy to check to see if there is good healing in the small bowel lining since beginning the gluten free journey? You may have something else going on besides celiac disease. From what you describe, it sounds like your stomach is not emptying properly. Have you presented this problem to a GI doc?
