I haven't run across a frozen veggie that is NOT gluten-free... I would avoid any pre seasoned ones until you can verify with the company that they are safe though.

Also, Mission is a great company, they clearly label that which is gluten-free, so if you found something that says gluten-free on it from Mission, you can trust it.

Just tell yourself this, if they're unseasoned, they're just vegetables, and you've had vegetables, so they're nothing new!! I eat frozen veggies all the time.

It might help you to realize that there ARE things we can eat that won't make us sick. It's good to be careful, but you don't need to give yourself anxiety attacks every time you eat something! :)

Plain frozen veggies with nothing added except maybe salt shouldn't be a problem.

I've never had a problem with plain frozen veggies--even store brands.

Hmm we have quite a few over on this side of the pond that are not, both from testing on me, testing with the tepnel kits and even would you beleive labelling...its the same with frozen fries... my local frozen goods store has about 10 minds and only 1 is gluten-free!

Also, Mission is a great company, they clearly label that which is gluten-free, so if you found something that says gluten-free on it from Mission, you can trust it.

Yes, we don't have Mission here but I can clearly mark off companies that do and don't and then the others which I have 100% confidence in (well nearly) and i think this is probably the most useful thing for noobies.

Equally, there are also brands I don't trust AT ALL .... you basically can't trust any of their labelling.

Once you have some reliable brands it makes it far easier ... another trick I recently started is looking for brands that show allergens, I feel safer when something says "contains celery" than if it doesn't list anything because then you klnow they have actually considered allergens.

I don't know why celery :D .. well I think its easy to label contains milk or contains nuts or the ubitiquous "may contain nuts" wheras Celery seems to be something they actually have thought about and is often used as a natural replacement for MSG so it gets double points.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
