That might explain why I reacted so badly to it last week! Does anybody know for sure what "starch" means? Also, I was given Endocet (generic Percocet), and I can't FIND an ingredients list for it. Does anybody know if that contains gluten?

It is my understanding that it can be wheat or corn. Have you contacted the pharmacy or the manufactuer?

It's probably gluten-free but the only way to be sure is to call the manufacturer.

In theory, "starch" in a pharmaceutical can be wheat, but I have never encountered a situation where it actually is. Whenever I have asked, it has always been corn starch.

In food, the single word "starch" is corn starch in both Canada (by law) and the US (by federal guideline). Other sources will be stated (this does not apply to "modified starch).

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
