Ok, I am new to this with my son being diagnosed this year, but I like to read up on things that will make big changes in my life...and if you have celiac disease even a speck of gluten can cause problems. You may not feel anything physically, but inside it is going to cause complications. Do you people read up on a serious disease you were diagnosed with????? Seriously, trace amounts of gluten add up and I am sorry but I am not putting my child at risk by allowing him something that contains the word malt in it. They are not safe, and if you truly care about yourself and you have celiac disease you will read up on what it does to your body when you consume gluten.

Here is some great advice....when in doubt, do without!!!!

Long time followers of the diet know that it is not possible to be 100% gluten free in our world. Gluten is everywhere, and you will encounter some.

Even products from so-called gluten-free facilities are subject to contamination from outside sources. At best, and at a high cost, products can be tested for gluten at 5 ppm. Mainstream manufacturers do not test at all, and "gluten-free" facilities which do test can only test to a detection limit. Glutino test to 20 ppm. El Peto test to 5 ppm. In both cases, it is probably zero, but that cannot be proven.

Your body regenerates at a certain rate. The celiac game is to keep the inevitable gluten ingestion at a level that the body heals faster than damage occurs.

Even assuming the worst case for content, ppm is not the whole answer. If I eat one slice of bread that has 20 ppm, or four slices of bread that have 5 ppm, the total amount of gluten is exactly the same in both cases. A tiny medicine tablet with 200 ppm would be less than even one slice of 5 ppm bread.

I realize that the previous posts were from about 6 years ago, but for anyone currently wondering about Rice Krispies, this might be helpful. Lol 6 years later things are FINALLY getting better.

I'm glad this one has been dug up. The Celiac organisation Food Directory List says in the UK that Tesco own-brand Rice Krispies are within 20ppm. I've been eating them and my symptoms are quite mild anyway so hard to detect whether they are OK or not. My instinct is that Asda own brand Cornflakes are more innocuous FWIW. The problem with cereal in the 'Free From" isles of supermarkets is a) the packets are tiny and b ) they're very expensive, so was quite keen to work out which 'normal' products are OK.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
