Old El Paso is a company that adheres to a strict gluten disclosure policy. If any of the gluten grains are present in the product they will be named in the ingredient list. If didn't see wheat, rye, barley or oats named, then they are not there.

Dear blondebombshell,

Ortega is also safe. It is one I love. They adhere to a very strict labeling policy like Old El Paso.

The last time I checked, all of their products were gluten-free. Daisy sour cream is safe if you can have dairy. The low-fat and fat-free versions are as well. Kraft shredded cheeses (like all Kraft products), clearly label any gluten or casein-containing ingredients.

Sincerely,

Only in North America, in Europe it often comes from wheat ...

The ones I know about are made from corn. Old El Paso is a General mills brand and will clearly disclose gluten in the ingredients list. If you don`t see wheat, barley, rye or oats listed in the ingredients, then they are not there. They will not be hidden in other ingredients.

I asked Old El-paso in Norway (europe) regarding maltodextrin, it comes from corn or potato, not wheat.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By trents · Posted

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG tests are second tier tools that are less specific for celiac disease. It is not at all uncommon for the EMA and the tTG-IGA to disagree with one another. We frequently see this on the forum. I do not know why. Please realize that doctors typically run a number of tests when diagnosing a medical condition. If there was one test that was foolproof, there would not be a need for other tests and other testing modalities. It works that way with many or most diseases.

      But yes seeing all those negatives does give me a bit of doubt! I feel confident but those results give me a seed of doubt. Especially since it's a lifelong diet for him!

      When I originally posted I hadn't talked to the pediatrician yet and didn't realize about the budosinide. Now I feel pretty confident. I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the EMA was pretty "gold standard."  And yes I do now wonder about the asthma! I hope being gluten free will improve that!

      @lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet and on a steroidal medication (which would likely suppress immune responses) do you really have any doubt? If you can't afford the GI consult with endoscopy/biopsy, why would you consider a gluten challenge after removing the remainder of the gluten from his diet? Have you considered that his asthma and "sickness" may be tied to celiac disease?
