:unsure::unsure: Can anyone tell me what Corn Gluten is? And since it says gluten, is it really gluten? Also I am wondering about modified corn starch, is that safe?

Corn gluten is a corn protein. It is NOT the kind of gluten that hurts us. It is considered safe for a gluten free diet. All corn products are safe as long as they don't contain anything made from wheat, rye, barley and oats.

God bless,

Gluten is a broad term for the protein. Although we always refer to gluten as the bad gluten (wheat, rye, barley, etc.), technically, there are safe glutens for us.

Scientifically, the protein found in grains is called gluten. So ANY protein in ANY grain is generically referred to as gluten. With respect to celiac disease, however, we often use the word gluten to refer only to the protein in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. It's a matter of context.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
