Does anyone know what is wrong with Annatto food color in foods or cheese my doctor says stay away from it.

Sorry if I have asked this before I just can't find it on any boards. She also say's stay away from carmel and carmel coloring. I will see her tomorrow and ask again, but maybe you have thoughts I could ask her?

Caramel color should not be a problem, but I know nothing about the food color.

Annatto is perfectly safe. It's on some outdated lists. :)

annatto can cause "D", but not because of gluten.

annatto is one of those celiac urban legends :)

caramel coloring is almost always (if not always) gluten free in America. If it is derived from wheat, then, because of the new FDA labeling laws, they would be required to identify it. Coke and products like that are safe. To be on the safe side, you could always call and double check for ones that you don't know are safe.

if you haven't seen these lists yet, check them out: https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12

they are extremely helpful!

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
