Glutened Myself

I had tried this wonderful, gluten free Thai Kitchen brand Pad Thai....so when in Whole Foods the other day I grabbed a different box they had on sale...Annie Chun's Classic Pad Thai. I scanned the ingredient list, but missed the wheat for some reason because I was assuming it was also gluten free. So I made it and ate it, and THEN....discovered the fact that wheat was in it. Ohhhh nooo.....and I'd been so careful lately, with no problems. Bummer..... :(:(:(

Note to myself: Read every label religiously!!! Never assume anything!!!

Sorry to hear of your set back. I've been there, as I am sure many many others have been too.

I can definitely relate. I did the same thing with a jar of garlic chili paste. I missed the wheat in it. ow.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care!

Hope you feel better soon! :) I now read the ingredient list from the end to the beginning. For some odd reason, it makes me slow down and read every word.

It is so easy to miss things, then we suffer for it we have all been there.

This has really made me realize that I have to read every single label for every single thing looking for gluten or casein. Things have so many ingredients these days. That's why the Lara bars were such a happy find...just a few ingredients and all natural!

I guess the more ingredients things have the worse they probably are for you! <_<

And you must read them every time you purchase food items, in case manufactoring changes occurred!!!

It is a pain in the arse, but it is worth it to be healthy!!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
