I went to their website and in the Questions part, there is a question about these containing gluten. The answer they give is no they do not contain gluten. Has anyone tried these? Just wanting to know because my Mom has some she doen't use anymore and was asking me if I could have them. It looks it I can, but I just want to check. Thanks.

I've had them. They taste pretty good and I certainly never had any gluten problems from them. One thing to watch is that if you eat too many - I think if you take in too much calcium in general - you can get constipated. A friend of my mom's did that right after she was diagnosed with osteoporosis and really messed herself up for several days! But I never had that problem eating one or two a day in addition to the calcium I got in my regular diet.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      By chrish42 · Posted

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
