Yep, its malted barley, and therefore has gluten.

Yup, as stated it is not safe. It is one of the main reasons we always have to call about a product that has 'natural or artificial' flavors. Barley and gluten are not considered a mainstream allergin and companies can hide barley malt in anything they want to if they consider it a 'secret' part of the flavoring recipe.

This is also why most main stream cereal is off limits to us. Almost, no all, of my favorite cold cereals have malt in them :angry:

You absolutely MUST assume malt flavoring is barley based because it almost always is. However, you can check, because in very rare occasions it's based on another grain. For instance, the gluten-free beers are generally based on malted sorghum. And I've seen a product or two based on malted corn. VERY rare, but it does happen. Any grain can be malted.

If it's something you really want or like, or if it claims to be gluten-free but has malt flavor, DO NOT EAT IT AT FIRST, but call the company and check.

And the worst part is that it is never listed until you are almost done reading the list. Your reading along very excited because all of the ingredients seem safe and then there it is toward the middle or end "barely malt extract". I just hate it :angry: .

      I lean towards very probably celiac disease due to the two positive tTg-IgA blood tests. Although there are other things that might cause this test to be elevated in certain individuals, the most likely cause by far would be gluten sensitivity.  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.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      @SaiP, I noticed that you are eating foods that are high in histamine.  Bananas, avocados, spinach, gluten, and tuna are high histamine foods or are histamine liberators.  Histamine is released by mast cells in the body as part of the autoimmune reaction to gluten.  High histamine foods add to that histamine burden, making clearing histamine difficult.    Histamine is a helpful neurotransmitter, causing alertness.  We wake after sleep because our body produces histamine.  BUT, excess histamine causes insomnia.   We need vitamins and minerals, like Thiamine, Pyridoxine, Cobalamine, Vitamin C, and magnessium, to help our body break down and clear out histamine.   We need Thiamine and the other B vitamins to turn carbohydrates, like white rice, protein and fats into energy and fuel for the body.  The more carbohydrates you eat, the more thiamine is needed above normal.  More thiamine is needed when physically sick, or emotionally stressed.  Losing weight until skin and bones is a symptom of Thiamine deficiency. White rice is stripped of nutrients like Thiamine, when the germ is removed to make it white.  Vitamins added to enriched rice can be lost if the rice is washed.  If you are increasing your rice consumption, you need to increase your thiamine.  The form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Healthy fats like olive oil should be included in the diet.  Our body likes to use healthy fats as fuel.   Do look into a low histamine gluten free diet.
