buckwheat, itself, is gluten free. often buckwheat is mixed with wheat for pancakes and the like, but buckwheat is actually a fruit, and gluten free.

ALWAYS read the ingredients. While you ought to be able to follow that rule, we've had a handful of cases where companies were incorrect in their labels. ALWAYS read ingredient lists.

I thought buckwheat was in the rice family - not a fruit - learn something new everyday.

Technically its part of the same family as rhubarb's and may weeds, sorrel etc.

The green parts of the plant are poisionous like uncooked rhubarb but it is also quite a heavy ingredient .. many people tend to find it sits heavy on the stomach.

For me its a backup I use making crepes etc for a quick snack... but it has a strong taste and doesn't usually replace wheat well unless the nutty taste is wanted.

Buckwheat is safe. So long as there are no other ingredients like wheat, spelt, triticale, rye or oats or barley.

What brand? Some brands are more reliable than others.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
