Wheat Allergy

Hello...I posted here about a month ago reguarding some symptoms I have been having. Well, I haven't been tested yet, but my 21 month old daughter recently had some allergy testing done that came back with the following food allergies: soy, peanut, almond, milk, and wheat, so I am looking for some websites that have some examples of wheat/dairy free foods that could be found in the grocery or even some special order web sites. I was also wondering if she is allergic to wheat should I look into celiac? I believe celiac is more of an intolerence (i think correct me if I'm wrong) but should it be looked into? Thanks

I think it would definitely be worth looking into. Have your doctor run a blood test, it's a tTG and total IGA serum. Especially since I see developmental delays and Aspergers in your sig.

All food labels have to note if there products contain wheat.

Cocoa puffs and some of Barbara's Cereals are wheat free.

Van's frozen waffles, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Mountain High yogurt, Lay's potato chips, some Amy's soups and some Amy's frozen meals are wheat free and found in regular super markets. Lots of Kraft and Hershey's products are wheat free and have clear labels if they do contain wheat.

Grits, polenta, quinoa, lentils, latkes, potatoes, corn, rice, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc. are naturally gluten free as long as they aren't processed with other stuff.

There's a magazine called Living Without that has good information. Some websites would be www.gluten free.com; celiacspecialties.com; glutenfreecookiejar.com; gilliansfoods.com; glutenfreemarket.com; Other brands are Kinnickinnick, Ener-G, Namaste, Enjoy Life, Glutino, Mrs. Leepers, Dr. Schar crackers and lots of them have websites as well.

Wheat free products may still contain rye, barley, and other ingredients that celiacs cannot tolerate.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
