Are Mres Gluten Free? Need To Know Fast!


DrLeonard

Recommended Posts

DrLeonard Newbie

I have celiac disease and I'm going to the gulf coast to help provide disaster relief after hurricane Katrina. I'll be part of a medical team and where I get sent depends upon whether or not MREs are gluten-free. I can't find any factual information about whether red cross or military MREs are truly gluten free...does anyone know for certain? Or even have a good guess?

thanks for any help/input

Some of them may be but alot I have seen are not. My cousins who went through a Hurricane down there last year were provided with MRE's and they brought some up here with them and I read the label and pretty much everything had wheat in it. There could be some but I wouldn't expect it.

Be safe down there helping :D

According to my husband, the resident expert on EVERYTHING... MRE's are NOT gluten-free... Sorry.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
