Cold Cuts?

I felt great the first 10 days I was on my gluten-free diet but then starting feeling badly again. I'm starting to think it's not a gluten-intolerance but figured I'd ask this question. I don't understand what caused it the only thing I can think of is cold cuts that I eat about once a week. I know that these sometimes have gluten in them but does anyone know the true likelihood? Thanks!

What brand of cold cuts are you eating. Are they deli sliced? Deli slicked meats are a risk for cross contamination.

Yes- directly from the deli.

Why don't you try some safe cold cuts, such as Hillshire Farms. They have a wide variety and I believe all are gluten free.

All Boar Head meats and cheeses are also gluten free.

In addition to the great advice of others what are you putting on the cold cuts? Are you eating cheese or using condiments? Many of us have trouble with dairy at least at first and if you are still healing things like mustard and such can be a bit hard on the tummy. Also make sure you are using gluten-free toiletries and such, as we cut the massive gluten intake out of our diet many forget to cut it out of things like shampoos and such. I hope you get some relief soon.

Oscar Mayer (a Kraft foods global company) should list any gluten if used. As a write I am eating Oscar Mayer smoked turkey breast lunch meat and it has no gluten ingredients.

I must admit I have overlooked soap, shampoo, hand lotion, and facial cream. Is there a good comprehensive list anywhere of "safe" products to use?

Your best bet is to go into the products section of the board. It is a common question. There are many that are safe but a great deal of products aren't. The main things to watch out for are wheat germ oil, Vitamin E which can be derived from wheat germ oil, the vehicles for scents and oats. Some companies will only use the latin terms though and rather than learn them all I just call the company with any new product.

Garneir Nurtitioneste has a new skin line that has a lot of gluten-free stuff. Dove is a company that will list wheat and oats clearly as will Suave. Unilever products will list clearly also from what I understand. There are of course others.

Oh and a couple things that took me a long time to have a 'duh' moment with, don't share your can opener with gluten eaters or pet foods and watch out for hidden gluten in things like drywall, mud and remodeling and craft supplies.

It can seem overwhelming at first but it does get easier.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      PS - Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. You mentioned that your bowel movements may be a bit more regular, so this could be another indication of NCGS.

      You did not mention your age, but depending on how old you are it makes a big difference on how important it is to get a flu vaccine.

      Dawn, yes, once the genes that give the potential for the development of celiac disease are "turned on" so to speak, they will be on for the rest of your life. It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed. Eliminating major sources of gluten from one's diet is pretty straight forward but many don't realize the multitude of places and ways gluten is hidden in the food supply and sneaks its way into our eats. So, eating "lower gluten' is easy but attaining a consistently and truly gluten free state is much harder and requires diligence. I am linking this article that might be of help to you in that regard:

      Your situation is not straightforward, so it’s understandable why you’re seeking clarity. Your elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOs) and thyroglobulin levels suggest autoimmune thyroid involvement, possibly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, even though your thyroid function currently appears normal. The link between autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac disease is well-documented, but your celiac panel results are inconclusive, with only the deamidated gliadin IgA elevated. As you doctor correctly mentioned, this could indicate non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) rather than celiac disease, especially since you lack classic GI symptoms. However, the absence of improvement after four months gluten-free is notable. While some non-GI symptoms like fatigue and brain fog can take longer to resolve, the lack of progress raises questions about whether gluten is the primary driver of your symptoms. It might be worth revisiting the possibility of a biopsy (after a gluten challenge) to rule out celiac definitively, or exploring other potential contributors, such as nutrient deficiencies, other autoimmune conditions, or even dysautonomia, given your temperature regulation and energy issues. Have you had your thyroid levels retested since going gluten-free? If not, I would do that before resuming a regular gluten diet. It would be interesting to see if there has been any normalization in those levels while on a gluten-free diet.
