knitty kitty brought up something that also occurred to me. Namely, the reason you don't like bread and pasta may be that your body has been instinctively telling you, "this is harming me" and so you avoid it. Cake, on the other hand, has less gluten and lots of other goodies like sugar and butter and chocolate that mask what gluten there is. -

@Shining My Light, While you're trying to decide on your next steps on your journey, I suggest you have a DNA test to look for Celiac genes. Your genes don't change, so you do not have to be eating gluten for it. If you have even one Celiac gene, it's more likely to be celiac disease, than NCGS. TTg antibodies do not occur in NCGS. There are... -

Thanks for sharing this! You contacted them specifically about their certified gluten-free products, or which products specifically? So out of all the finished batches of nuts, they only test one?! That seems suboptimally safe... Maybe I will have to try Tierra Farms too... -

@Shining My Light, While you're trying to decide on your next steps on your journey, I suggest you have a DNA test to look for Celiac genes. Your genes don't change, so you do not have to be eating gluten for it. If you have even one Celiac gene, it's more likely to be celiac disease, than NCGS. TTg antibodies do not occur in NCGS. There are different amounts of gluten in different breeds of wheat. Wheat used for cookies and cakes and tortillas do not contain as much gluten as wheat used for bread and pizza crust. Look at the crumb in cakes and tortillas. There's only small bubbles. Gluten is in the matrix forming those bubbles. Compare those to the big bubbly holes in artisan bread and chewy pizza crust. To get those big holes, more stretchy elastic gluten is used. You are subconsciously avoiding those types of foods with large amounts of serious gluten in them. Consider including these types of high gluten foods in your gluten challenge before your antibody retest and endoscopy. Keep a food mood poo'd journal to record how symptoms change. Anxiety, headaches and joint pain are symptoms of Celiac that occur outside the digestive tract, these are extraintestinal symptoms of celiac disease. "Could I really possibly follow a gluten free life as close as I follow Jesus?" Yes, He's been my constant companion and guide on this journey which has brought us to the forum so we can help others on their journeys.
