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

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
