So, I've been eating original rice crackers by the brand fantastic. The incredients has in it, soy sauce powder [contains soy, hydrolysed wheat (gluten free)]. How can something that contains wheat be gluten free?

Perhaps they are allowed to do that because they test below a certain level, I don't know for sure but do know for sure that I wouldn't eat them.

I too have started avoided anything like this. At first ( a few months ) thought that the kitchen - bathroom "gluten free" might be okay but the longer I'm avoiding it the more I discover the "gluten-free" but wheat derived isn't helping. So many products (esp bathroom) have some crazy latin-science language that doesn't resemble "gluten" that I now avoid anything that looks, smells, feels gluten-free unless it comes from a gluten-free factory. I test products from a production line / manufacturer once. If I'm not sure about the consequences I take it off my unwritten 'list'. I have an problem ( 4 months gluten-free with companies that stock gluten containing and then see on the gluten-free shelf)I have converted to cooking a lot more at home as much as I dislike washing dishes :blink:

It's not gluten free. The manufacturer is using a dodge, claiming that the processing is rendering it gluten free, but it isn't. Same way that some of the Europeans use highly modified "codex" wheat starch in their gluten free goods, then they have a lot of people reacting, and wonder why the percentage of celiacs who respond to the diet isn't perfect.

wiki on what is hydrolyzed vegetable protein

Open Original Shared Link

Acid-hydrolyzed vegetable protein, or HVP,[1] is produced by boiling cereals or legumes, such as soy, corn, or wheat, in hydrochloric acid and then neutralizing the solution with sodium hydroxide. The acid hydrolyzes, or breaks down, the protein in vegetables into their component amino acids. The resulting dark coloured liquid contains, among other vegetable based amino acids, glutamic acid. It is used as a flavor enhancer in many foods.

I was using cosmetics that used wheat germ oil where the gluten was supposed to be removed. Fine til 2 months or so gluten-free, then my eyes started swelling.

No more.....

If you get the right mix of bacteria, hydrolyzed wheat can have the gluten broken down to where it's below 20ppm, and sometimes below the level of detection entirely.

I am concerned about traces of gluten in foods like that and it's not hard to find rice crackers without anything derived from wheat. I would find another brand.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @cvz Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story. It sounds like she is managing multiple complex conditions with great care and diligence. It’s encouraging to hear that she is compliant with her gluten-free diet and that her Addison’s disease symptoms are under control. The addition of electrolytes seems like a thoughtful suggestion, especially given her fluid intake. It’s also reassuring that she hasn’t shown noticeable symptoms from accidental gluten exposure, though it’s understandable how challenging it can be to monitor for such incidents. The unexplained high lipase levels are intriguing—perhaps further investigation or consultation with a specialist could provide more clarity. Wishing you both continued strength and success in managing her health. Please keep us updated on her progress!
