(Celiac.com 03/17/2000) Under the new FDA rules (effective in 2000), consumers will get more information about the sources of protein hydrolysates in their food. Hydrolyzed proteins are added to foods to serve various functions, including thickeners, flavorings and flavor enhancers, and they pose a major problem for people on special diets. From now on food makers will have to declare the source of added hydrolyzed proteins. The new laws state that the source of all protein hydrolysates--regardless of use--will now have to be identified. Further, caseinate will have to be identified as a milk derivative in the ingredient statement when its used in foods that claim to be non-dairy. According to the FDA these new requirements will help people who have special diet restrictions.

About Me
Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

Celiac.com 09/01/2005 - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will hold a public meeting to obtain expert comment and consultation from the public to help them define and permit the voluntary use on food labeling of the term ``gluten-free. The meeting will focus on food manufacturing, analytical methods, and consumer issues related to reduced levels of gluten in food. Celiac.com needs your help to speak out to make sure that this regulation will be written in such a way as to provide the greatest benefit to the gluten-free community, and to make sure that the new regulation will not create an undue burden on any exiting and future gluten-free food manufacturers.

Please take a moment to read this. your testimony might save my life.

At age ... -

Partial Positive Biopsy/Negative Serology - is celiac still possible?
1000 mcg of B12 supplementation is peanuts. You should be taking 5000 mcg. and you should be taking a high potency B-complex to boot. The B-vitamins are seldom found in isolated deficiencies but are usually deficient as a group. If you live near a Costco, their Nature Made product line is a good choice and if gluten free will be labeled as such. Most of them... -

Partial Positive Biopsy/Negative Serology - is celiac still possible?
I am taking 1000 mcg of B12 each morning @trents. I also eat a lot of B12 in my diet which is why I was surprised it was so low. My OBGYN (who ordered the test) said that most of her patients are at 900+ for B12, which also shocked me! I have not been tested for iron deficiency/anemia, but I will look into that. -

Also having vision issues
Thiamine supplementation (vitamin b1 ) really helped my POTS! I was also always having low blood pressure which it helped. Whenever I hear POTS, I suggest it bc my doctor says I’m borderline now and may no longer have it! I previously had mild acidosis in my labs with elevated anion gap and lactic acid with shortness of breath and severe wooziness. ...
