I have some questions that I can't seem to find a definate answer to: Does the ingredient Malt Dastase (found in my digestive enzymes) contain malt or is it just the name? Is it the same as Maltase? The other question is: Do I need to replace my nonstick pans? They are not Teflon brand but have some cut marks. My dishwasher has a sanitizing cycle that I always use. Could gluten still be lurking? Same for plastic collander and storage dishes (such as Glad brand). Thanks so much in advance.

Good questions, though I can't help you...I have no idea. I was wondering the same thing about the pans and gladware. I hope someone has some ideas.

Hey guys,

I am fairly new to the whole celiac disease thing, but I posed the same questions to my daughters dr...

Yes, go ahead and replace the pans, safer that way.

As far at Malt Daltase goes....I checked the forbidden list from celiac.com and it wasn't on there...but I'll look it up again somewhere else...

Ok, a little research later...here's the scoop.

Malt Diastase is the same thing as Maltase...which is derived from ...BARLEY!!

IT is not gluten-free!!

Maltase is the digestive enzyme which breaks down maltose, a sugar. Maltase is not plant based, and is absolutely gluten free. Diastase is a more general term for a large group of enzymes including maltase, but also others which may in certain cases be grain based. "Malt diastase" is not a term I am familiar with, but I suspect it could very well be derived from barley. Maltose, the sugar, is also gluten free.

I asked this question awhile back and it was determined that malt diastase is in fact gluten free.

Here is that thread:

Thank you all so much for all of the helpful info. I'll be replacing those pans and have already purchased another digestive enzyme that is definately gluten-free :) --Patti

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
