Whole Foods 365 Brand

Hi!

I am trying to come to terms with the fact that it seems my daughter is still getting routinely glutened in spite of our best efforts and research. We have made a list of every product that touches her or she consumes and verified the status of each. The ones that stand out predominently in her diet at the 365 Brand items. Many of them say; "good manufacturing practices used to segregate ingredients in a facility that also produces wheat . . ."

Some of the many items in question are these:

Spices

Vanilla

peanut butter

fruit spread

canned beans (black, kidney, refried)

frozen veggies

frozen fruit

Dairy products (cheeses mostly)

My daughter does not show any outward signs of having been glutened and her diet is ultra strict (eats nothing but what is prepared by us and we're 100% gluten-free at home). But her tTg remains high (86) after 1 year on the diet. So, the doc. is convinced something we are doing is contaminating her. Anyone have thoughts on Whole Foods house brand items?

Thanks for your help!

Barb

Hi,

I'm giving you the link to a topic I started last year. Several of us had problems with the 365 Brand.

If you read to the end, I say in that thread that I don't know if 100 parts per million is sufficient. I know now that it's way too high. I'm not sure if this has changed, but you might want to take a look--

Also, if you do a search in the "Products" forum, there are other threads that discuss the Whole Foods brands.

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

      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

      Thank you this really helped.

      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.
