Hello People:

Does anyone know if there is a printed/published Delfi gluten-free Product List (other that what can be printed off the computer).?

I have several friends and family members who would like a copy. There must be something in a booklet/book form that you can carry around with you.

Any published list out there that can be purchased/ordered.

Thanks. Lisa B

Hi Lisa!

Because of the fluctuating nature of the gluten free status of items, it really isn't recommended or worthwhile to publish a gluten free list that basically will be unreliable by the next month. What is gluten free this month may not be gluten free next month.

The delphi list is the best resource for up to date and current/correct information of current gluten-free status of products. The reason it is the best resource is because it is constantly being updated, corrected and checked by lots of dedicated gluten free people who volunteer their time to keep this list current for us.

One example of the change in status is a brand of clam juice that I finally found out was gluten free. I contact the company to ask if it was gluten free, their response was that yes, indeed, it is gluten free, but unfortunately, next month they are changing the formula and it will no longer be gluten free.

That is the nature of the gluten free world. It makes our life much more difficult and that's because we must be forever vigilant.

Hugs.

Canadian Karen,

Is the Delphi list applicable to Canadians? I guess I sort of figured it was only for goods manufactured/sold in the U.S.

Quite often the list will differentiate between U.S. and Canada.

e.g. it will say (but not gluten-free in Canada). An example would be Smarties.....

Here is an excerpt in the candy section that gives a good example:

M&M's (800.551.0702) (vp=09/24/02)

The following are gluten-free: Snickers (except mini's in Canada); Skittles; Starburst; Dove (milk & dark choc); Mars Almond Bar; 3Musketeers; MilkyWay Midnight (all other MilkyWay's are not gluten-free). All mini versions of the above are gluten-free except Snickers in Canada)

Here is the Smarties excerpt:

Smarties (USA ONLY) (Ce De Candy) (908-964-0660) (vp=10/15/2003)

Please note, these are the Smarties in the USA ONLY. Canadian Smarties are NOT gluten-free.

No the Dephi List is a 79 page long list of products and foods gluten free status. It is not complete but quite in depth and a very good resource to have. Someone can email it to you or celiac3270 posted about it in the product section a while ago and he gave directions on how to get it yourself in there.

If you want a touchable printed list call the Celiac Sprue Association and they have a list, not as detailed as the Delfi Forum Product List, but it may help you get started.

They have a toll free # 1-877-272-4272

They will also offer you many web sites that will give you SO much valuable information regarding celiac disease. ( as small fee is required, but worth it and you may also join the association and receive newsletters and updated on celiac disease research)

Good luck and keep us posted about our progress.

Thanks Karen. I too thought the delphi list was only for Americans. I downloaded the list which I think will be very useful.

I bought the Triumph Grocery Guide. It was kind of hard to use--it really needs an index. It's okay for beginners, but there were a lot of products that weren't in my area.

I just found it easier in the beginning to go the whole foods, plain route and then when I started to add foods back in like Chinese, then I just googled everything and used this forum a lot--still do.

Once you know what you can/cannot eat by reading the labels, then life become so much easier.

And for the inlaws when they occasionally have my kids for overnighters, I tell them that wheat will be listed, but to particularly look for barley or malt--which isn't usually a problem for what they have at their house. And if they're in doubt, call me or ask the kids--they're the ones with iphone gluten free app. :P

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
