Do you know if anyone else besides me has had a problem with "Quest Protein Bars"? They have a certified gluten-free label but in fine print are manufactured in a facility that processes wheat!

If they have been Certified Gluten Free that means they have been tested such that any cross contamination that might occur in the production environment has proven to be less than the 20ppm of gluten threshold needed to qualify for the CFG label. However, 20ppm is still enough to trigger reactions in some celiacs who are especially sensitive to gluten. It could also be that there is some other ingredient in the bar that is the offender for you instead of gluten. 

We also don't know how regularly this product is retested if at all to make sure changes in production conditions haven't changed the amount of gluten found in it. It might be something you could contact the company and ask about.

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
