Welcome to the forum, Jay!

"Gluten Free" must contain no more than 20ppm of gluten. Depending on the certifying body, "certified gluten free" will have no more than 10ppm of gluten or 5 ppm.

Nope. I’ve been glutened by certified stuff, and if you have celiac reactions to oats (like I do), the gluten-free certification is kinda worthless if the company is also making gluten-free oat products. 
 

I will say that I trust certified stuff over non certified, and if you’re in doubt, contact the mfg and ask if their raw ingredients are gluten-free, and if their equipment is shared with anything containing oats or gluten grains. If they say yes & no respectively, I’d trust it.

Even certified products can test positive...evidently certified oats too:

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      Enegy level extremely low

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!
