I am new with Celiac disease.. and I heard that gluten is not listed as 'gluten'... So, I need the most detailed and accurate lists possible to keep of ingredients that are gluten or have gluten in them...

For food items, I need any kind of ingredients that have it in them or are gluten... (i know the basics, wheat and stuff like that)

And for non-food items, I need the same (as an example, I am looking at my shampoo bottle, and I have NO CLUE what Tocopherol, Hyrolyzed Soy Protein, or Dehydroacetic Acid are.....) So, I would not know if they contain gluten or not...

I just looked at my shampoo bottle again, and WHEAT GERMAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE is one of the ingredients....

Gluten is in EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Try these links for useful information:

Unsafe ingredients.

Safe ingredients.

Open Original Shared Link If you don't see "wheat, rye, barley, barley malt, oats" on the labels, its not there, or hidden in "flavors, starches, etc."

I am not a supporter of lists--they are out of date the minute that you print them. Formulas are constantly changing. That is why I like to buy from companies who will label clearly (see the third link above). Always read the label.

Hi, the only problem is, I don't understand alot of ingredients, like those in my shampoo... I know nothing with say Gluten, and I was wondering what those versions of ingredients will be listed as...

As in, I don't know what on the label would be bad for me... I just found out about a week and a half ago, so I am Brand New to this...

I don't know if I am explaining right, haha... Does it count that I know what I mean? :)

The first two links are to lists found on this board. Each is a list of ingredients in alphabetical order. If you find the ingredient on the second list, it is safe. The first list contains ingredients which are always gluten sources and some which might be. Things with "might be" status are safe if the product you are looking at is made by a company on the third list unless the label specifically mentions a gluten grain by name.

Over time you will get to know which common ingredients are safe and which are not, but in the beginning, look them up on the lists. You don't need to understand what they are to see if they are on a list. If you are still not sure, you can post a question here. Somebody will know the answer.

In the US, on a food label, wheat must by law be declared. Barley can hide in flavors, but the companies mentioned in the third list won't hide it.

Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is rarely from wheat (and a food label would have to say so).

Hydrolyzed soy protein is gluten-free. Dehydroacetic acid is a gluten-free preservative.

Gluten must me indigested to cause intestinal harm. This is a toss -up as some with DH (skin rash ) can not use HBA products with gluten but others will tell you that it must me swallowed to cause damage. As an adult I can't see eating shampoo & skin creams. Are you very sensitive to gluten? Again some are & some are not.It may be a choice you wil have to decide as everyone is different.....

Pet food can also cause problems as well...

It does take time to learn everything... hidden gluten is tricky. Ie: soy sauce. LaChoy & Wal-Mart brands are easy fines & safe.malt is not safe or things containing malt.

Most distilled products are gluten-free Ie: heinz vinegar,Mt Olive pickles, heinz pickles. There are many name brands ok.....

Progresso soupsthat are gluten-free: creamy mushroom, lentil, chik & rice, chik & wild rice, corn chowder,chik & vegetable. dinty moore beef stew (not the chik stew)Lipton (cup) cream of chik soup, philly cream cheese, philly frozen swirls, edy's, breyers, dreyers ice cream without cookie sor crunchies added.

dairy queen soft serve, peant buster parfaits, blizzards are gluten-free. I don't get the blizzards because sometimes the spoons go from one container to another place the mixer they use for blending is used for gluten things as well...

Shopping the outer walls of the grocery store are pretty safe! ie: fuits, vegetables, meats..... most of these items are all safe as long as there is no marinades, sauces, or coatings ......think naked foods, you can always spice them up at home with McCormick spices.... they are clearly labeled...as is Kraft, &hormel products.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
