I fear that I already know the answer to this question.

But you know the cheese dip they serve at Mexican restaurants? The stuff they so cleverly call "queso?" Does anyone happen to know if, by some miracle of the heavens, this queso is gluten free?

I usually eat the queso and feel fine other than the whole milk thing. I know that don pablos has queso on their gluten-free menu!

Yay!!!! Don Pablos has a gluten-free menu!!!!! I can't wait!

You can make your own queso at home. Brown some sausage, if you want it. Put in a can of tomatoes with chilis and some Velveeta. Yummy. Hmmm, I'm assuming Velveeta is gluten-free, seems I heard it was, but double check! I believe Kraft makes it, so you can just check the label.

The thing I'd be more worried about is if they make their own chips in a dedicated fyer.

I think to be safe you'd have to check with the chef. Traditionally it doesn't have gluten in it, but restaurants do a lot of odd things to keep foods stable longer that can get us into trouble.

Mmm...I'd be nothing without cheese.

My mom used to make this cheese dip when I was little that was melted velveeta with ground beef and salsa mixed in. Delish!

I should bring back some of those delicious fat-filled recipes while I can still rationalize gluten as an excuse!

You have to ask the chef to be sure. Some queso has chili in it, and some chili has gluten in it.

And Velveeta is Gluten Free. YUM!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
