I have Princella brand in my pantry, but I read on their website that they can't guarantee they are gluten-free. The ingredients are safe, but you never know.

I was hoping to make a sweet potato dish for my OKC Celiac meeting tonight but I certainly don't want to make myself and anyone else sick!

Thanks!

I have a can of Bruces Yams. the ingredient list says Sweet potatoes, water, corn syrup, and sugar. Looks ok to me. I got them at walmart.

Bruce's Yams are OK. Ate them for years with no problems. They're off my list now only because of the corn syrup.

I don't know, but I *highly* encourage the use of real sweet potatoes - much better tasting! ;)

I agree. With corn and soy allergies now, I've resorted to cooking almost everything from scratch. Instead of canned sweet potatoes, I bake my own. Everything about them is better than canned. Plus, things like sweet potatoes and waffles leave a nice aroma in the kitchen. I love coming home, opening the kitchen door and getting a whiff of the waffles I cooked for breakfast. It's a great welcome home.

I've ate the Bruces a few times with no problems except the fact that they taste like crappy canned yams.

Go the extra mile and cook fresh ones, your guests with thank you by cleaning their plates!

      I did ... But aren't we going to be vitamin deficienct if we are not eating due to being sick ?? If the food we eat is gluten free and we have other sensitivities , how do we get out of the cycle??  Thank you

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
