Celiac disease 

trents Grand Master

Bear with me, please. What kind of testing did the nutritionist use to diagnose your celiac disease? Do you know the specifics of the tests that were run? There are specific serum antibody tests that are used to diagnose celiac disease and that is the first stage of diagnosis. If there are positives in the serum antibody tests then, normally, an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining is done to provide confirmation. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and the biopsy is used to check for this. I'm not sure that a nutritionist can order the serum antibody testing and I'm reasonably sure a nutritionist cannot order an endoscopy/biopsy. All this to say I'm skeptical that proper testing was done to confirm you have celiac disease.

Thanks for that clarification. Yes, you should certainly make sure all vitamins and supplements are gluten-free. Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland brands are good choices. They will clearly state on the bottle if they are gluten free. For supplements like magnesium glycinate I get them on Amazon. Nutricost and Doctor's Best are brands I get there that offer many gluten-free supplement products.

Doctors and other health care professionals get kickbacks (money) for promoting those supplements.

Yes I always make sure they’re gluten free! But I’m wondering about the cross contamination in factory it’s made in possibility 

trents Grand Master

Theoretically, cross contamination is possible in a shared facility but most often it's a "we're covering our backsides here" disclaimer. If it's produced on "shared equipment" that's more of a concern than just being produced in the same factory that "also produces tree nuts, wheat, dairy, etc." And it may also depend on how sensitive to minute amounts of gluten you are. I mean, we have people on this forum that get a gluten reaction from walking down the bread isle in the supermarket and smelling the aroma of fresh-baked bread. I'm not kidding.

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
