Is there a list of foods that say they are gluten free but people have had reactions from? I swear the kinnikinnick bread I got is giving me a reaction.

I absolutely love your Avatar Mel!

Regarding your question, I've found that there are certain grains and other foods that don't agree with me, even though they are gluten-free and acceptable to other people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I react to quinoa, so I avoid a number of gluten-free products because they include quinoa seed or other derivatives. It took me quite awhile to tolerate certified gluten-free oats. I had a reaction from a reputable gluten-free manufacturerer's gluten-free granola early on. Some posters have had issues with Rice Chex. I could eat corn tortillias like crazy at first, and then not at all.

I haven't had the desire to try gluten-free Bisquick because it upset me the first time I tried it.

It's tough trying to figure out what bothers you, but it's easier if you stick to whole foods at first while you're healing, and really pay attention to what goes on the next day(s). I don't know if it's quinoa for you, but I think that brand has quinoa in it. I haven't bought it, but it's well respected.

Good luck!

Depending on how long you have been gluten free will determine your ongoing heath. It takes time, days weeks, months and even years to feel 100% healthy.

There is no list of foods, but being an expert at label reading and expanding knowledge will carry you safely. :D

I personally don't get sick if I get glutened so it's hard for me to tell. However, i would caution you eating foods whose labels say "no gluten ingredients" such as those at Trader Joes. Although no gluten is put in intentionally, these products could very well have issues with cross-contamination. 'no gluten ingredients" should be a red flag. I personally avoid products that say that.

Lots of foods have " no gluten added" whether they state that or not. Frozen corn has " no gluten added". But they don't label it that way. It just means they haven't tested anything for gluten. Most items don't bother saying " no gluten ingredients".. They just list the ingredients. If we required companies to test everything for gluten, the price would go up.

I think some Kinickinick products have potato starch in them. Yo might react to that. You really need to look at all the ingredients in a product to see what might be a problem. And then try to match the ingredient list up to other products that cause symptoms. That way when you find a match you can shout "Eureka!" and stop eating those ingredients.

Different celiacs/gluten intolerants react to different levels of gluten. The large majority show no symptoms at all even on a normal gluten filled diet. The products that give no symptoms for one are different than the products that give no symptoms for another. Some of us feel that we need to avoid all processed foods. Others feel the need to grow most of their own food to avoid contamination from farming practices.

Many seem just fine eating the typical gluten free diet containing the standard gluten-free foods.

There can't be such a list as it is different for different individuals.

It takes awhile to figure out if you are in a more sensitive group or a less sensitive group. Then sensitivity levels change, and other food intolerances can show up. This condition is a challenge for some.

They say that the large majority do fine with the proposed gluten free standards.

I also have had problems with food from the company that you mentioned. I have problems with most processed grain containing foods.

I think it might be something I am putting on my skin. Avalon Organics Moisturizer Plus w Vit C is the only product I have where I can't verify if it is gluten free. The company won't commit to an answer. I didn't use it today but I am still itchy all over.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

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

Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
