Okay so i have been taking a medication and when i went to pick it up it said on the bottle "This is the same medication you have been taking it is just different in size or color". it still said "inwood labs". i called CVS And they said they are switching to caraco labs. so i called caraco labs today and asked if there was any gluten in the medication. she said yes, "gluten from corn starch". i explained what gluten was and that gluten is not in corn. she said she would get back to me- she was kind of rude. what does this mean??? i also cant stop the medication suddently or i get withdrawl symptoms. i have a few days left at least of the inwood labs one which i know is gluten free.

thanks Stephanie. i didnt know there was such thing as corn gluten. who knew? that is kind of confusing. i geuss its is a different kind of gluten.

edit- okay they just called me back and said it was corn gluten and "not the gliadin that affects celiacs" so i geuss its okay. i got scared for a minute!

Gluten, technically, is a generic term, for the protein found in pretty much every single grain - wheat, barley, rye, corn, millet, rice, buckwheat, etc. Chemically speaking, it's a broad term.

Medically, our community uses it to refer to only four of the gluten proteins - from wheat, barley, rye, and oats - out of all of them. (Hence, the term is overloaded.)

      Malt vinegar

      I have never been troubled by cider, wine or sherry vinegar but all best avoided to be safe.

      Malt vinegar

      This brings up a question I have. I feel safe with products that specifically say they contain distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar, but I am not sure what to make of those that just say "vinegar". Some of these are store labelled as gluten free, but I don't feel confident. Am I being too picky?

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour ...

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly
