Has anyone tried the twinlab pre-workout activator? I called the manufacturer to see how may ppm it tests to and they said none, something I've never gotten before when I've called other places. I have yet to find one that does not make me sick and would LOVE to know if anyone has tried this.

I don't think they have suddenly developed a test for 0 ppm.  I think the person who answered just saw it says gluten-free and said that means none.  Maybe try again and ask how they test?  Do they even test?  But even if they test using the <20 ppm, it doesn't mean it has 19 ppm or 10ppm or any, its just the limitation of the testing.

They do test bc it is certified gluten free. I'm assuming the person who answered me just had no idea what they were talking about. All of my food tests to between 5 & 10 ppm so I found it very odd that she said 0. In the past 8 years and all the manufacturers I have called, I've never heard someone say that. But from all the research I've done this one does seem to be the most gluten-free. We'll find out!

I just drink coffee and have a piece of fruit.  It's cheap and convenient.

Coffee and certain fruits is what I've using. I'm just looking for something that will give me the extra boost for when I'm lifting & contain beta alanine :)

I'm only 3 months gluten-free but I've found that a FAT BLACK (double shot of espresso, teaspoon of butter and a tablespoon of coconut oil) works wonders. I'm training for ironman triathlons so not really any very high intensity work but still get a good buzz.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Thank you. I have been baking and eating bread daily since I got back from Europe. Even making Whole Wheat bread and having a couple slices a day, so my test should be pretty accurate if it is the Gluten.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlutenFreeChef! Your question begs an ongoing controversy in the celiac community and you are likely to get a variety of answers from different responders. It is true that we have gotten numerous posts from celiacs traveling in Europe who state that they could eat wheat products there without getting a celiac reaction. This does not mean that the leadership of this online community has signed off on the safety of consuming wheat products originating from Europe. It must be remembered that these are anecdotal accounts as opposed to research-based, meaning it has not been studied in a formal, controlled way. As you state, one would think gluten is gluten no matter where the grain source is cultivated. Or, in reality, perhaps there is a difference we have not quantified yet. We do know that in some European countries, the wheat used in baking tends to be derived from heirloom stock rather than the oft-hybridized varieties grown in the US. Incidentally, we sometimes get anecdotal reports from forum posters that they were able to consume sourdough bread products without issue. But again, these are anecdotal reports and the leadership of this online community does not endorse this as a safe practice for celiacs in general.  But I can address the idea that glyphosate/pesticides idea as being the key to why some celiacs cannot tolerate wheat products made in the US but tolerate those made in Europe: https://www.eufic.org/en/food-production/article/is-glyphosate-banned-in-the-eu-due-to-its-harmful-effect-or-not https://theconversation.com/our-study-analysed-pesticide-use-and-residues-across-europe-heres-what-we-found-264907 My point is, glyphosate and pesticides are still used in European agriculture so that cannot explain the differential experience you and others have had when consuming European wheat products vs. US wheat products. But that does not mean we are dismissing the concerns over glyphosate and pesticide use in agriculture in relation to celiac disease as being a factor in the development of the disease in the first place.

      The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
