About The "questionable" Ingredients

What about the "questionable" ingredients that might be gluten free?

Do you find that all of them are gluten free? some of them?

(the 2nd list on this page: https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html )

None of the food or items that I use for cleaning or anything I put on me has any of the gluten containing ingredients in it, but many of them have the questionable ingredients.

Namely: Artificial Color, Caramel Color, Coloring, Flavoring, Food Starch, Maltodextrin, Modified Food Starch, Natural Flavoring, Natural Flavors, and a few others.

Will these always be safe in the US? How great is the chance that they would contain gluten? Thanks.

Let me see if I can answer:

Artificial Color - would not be wheat, barley, malt or rye

Caramel Color - used to be a concern due to the source, but is no longer and is considered safe

Coloring - ? but never a concern to me

Natural Flavoring - it would be wise to call the company, but wheat must be listed

Flavoring - same as above

Food Starch - not a problem with gluten due to processing

Maltodextrin - is safe in the US

Mod Food Starch - safe unless listed as wheat

***Wheat, by law must be listed. Barley, malt and rye are not required.

Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten:

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
