That is a very old study that concludes "Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of CD patients", and I've not seen any substantive studies that support the idea that corn would be a risk for celiacs, although some people with celiac disease could have a separate intolerance to it, just like those without celiac disease... -

I agree, @Flash1970, I've found a grain free diet more beneficial, too. I like the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a paleo diet, which removes potential problematic foods while healing after diagnosis, then can be expanded and easily maintained long term.- celiac disease

@cristiana, It's the same here, doctors check just Vitamin D and B12 routinely. The blood tests for other B vitamins are so inaccurate, or expensive and time consuming, doctors tend to gloss over their importance. B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted in urine.

Welcome to the forum @colinukcoeliac. Letting them know that they lost a customer because they could not satisfy cross contamination needs may incline them to fix that problem. It was good of tnem to alert you. The more they know... -

It seems a lot of Kroger products are like this. I always read their labels carefully.

@cristiana, It's the same here, doctors check just Vitamin D and B12 routinely. The blood tests for other B vitamins are so inaccurate, or expensive and time consuming, doctors tend to gloss over their importance. B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted in urine. Some people need to be careful with Pyridoxine B6 because they can store it longer than most due to genetics. A symptom of Pyridoxine B6 deficiency is peripheral neuropathy. Taking Pyridoxine B6 will relieve the neuropathy, but excess Pyridoxine can also cause peripheral neuropathy. So, if neuropathy symptoms return, stop taking the Pyridoxine and it will resolve quickly as the excess Pyridoxine is used. But the body still needs the other B vitamins, so taking them separately without Pyridoxine can be an option. If one is low in Vitamin D, one may also be low in the other fat soluble vitamins, A, E, and K. Vitamin K is important to bone and circulatory health. Vitamin A helps improve the health of the intestine, eyes, skin and other mucus membranes. Vitamin E helps our immune system stay healthy. Important minerals, iron, magnesium and calcium, as well as a dozen or so trace minerals are important, too. They need the B vitamins to be utilized, too. Our gluten free diets can be low in B vitamins. Our absorption can be affected for many years while we're healing. Supplementing with B vitamins boosts our absorption and helps our bodies and our brains function at optimal levels. Hope this helps! -

Hi. I went to a UK local restaurant that website / ring up said they provided "Gluten Free" food. When placing the order, the waitress & manager then told us they couldn't guarantee contamination occurs and would do their best. It didn't give me confidence and we politely left. I wrote them an email and received a polite reply, again saying they provide "Gluten Free" food but can't "guarantee contamination occurs". Specifically; their email states "I would like to clarify that while many of our products are indeed gluten-free, the very nature of our open kitchen, storage practices, and the close proximity of fryers alongside the use of gluten-containing products, means we cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free preparation environment." Many queries arise, but my main one is - Should they be displaying on their website "Gluten Free" if they don't have a gluten-free preparation environment ? I will continue to do my own research on the matter, mainly what should my expectations be from a restaurant advertising a "Gluten Free" menu. However, I would benefit a gossip with someone on the topic, or if can you direct me to more information. Thanks, Colin.
