Whole Foods Sausages

does anyone ever eat the freshly made sausages at the whole foods meat counter? I was there yesterday and was talking to the manager and he just read off the ingeredients (which is on a card right there in front of me) and says "well, there is nothing gluten containing in the list. So, yes they are gluten free." and then walked away! Whole foods is starting to rub me the wrong way!

I think WHole Foods is pricey and ours does not have alot of gluten-free.I have had their sausages and I didn't get sick and they are clearly labeled ingredients. And they can keep their bakehouse stuff as I 'm not wild about it either.....

Yes, their sausage (in meat case) is gluten free. I buy their Brats. I only buy the Brats every few months. I go and get 6 pkgs. of 6 each and freeze them. I buy nothing else there anymore as I prefere Henry's Market as they are so friendly and try to get me whatever I need.

i do eat their breakfast sausages, like chicken and apple and i have never gotten sick from them.

i'm sorry your getting upset with whole foods! i absolutely love them and i think they are so helpful.. maybe i just got lucky with the store though..

I LOVE their sausages. They aren't very well located relative to me, so I don't go there often, only if I'm making pizza.

It's the only place I can find sausage that isn't filled to the brim with MSG.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
