Lawry's Response

Hi Gretchen,

Thank you for writing.

We apologize that we cannot provide you with the information you are

requesting. Because our products are formulated for use by the majority of our

consumers, and not specifically for those on restricted diets, it is possible

our product formulations may change at any time. As a result, we cannot

provide a list due to several factors:

- Lists of this type reflect products as formulated at a specific time

- It is possible that more products/varieties may have been added

- More important, changes in existing products may have occurred

Therefore, we suggest reading all ingredient labels carefully. If you cannot

determine whether or not the product contains the ingredient in question, or if

you feel uncomfortable about the ingredients used in our products, it is our

recommendation that you do not use them.

The source of the modified food starch used in our products is corn.

We hope this information is helpful.

Your friends at Lawry's

Many of their product contain "natural flavorings"... and they just can't tell you what they are at any given time.

Cute little dog! :D

Is the dog your pet or just a picture of a cute pooch?

GEF Explorer

Thank you :D

He's my pet. He's a Maltese and will be 2 in Feb. About 10 lbs and doesn't shed. Great personality. We LOVE him.

Shame about Lawrys... BUT, I do have a question about your dog! lol ~ Does he chew a lot?? We are getting a pet this summer for our daughter ~ need a cute dog that is well behaved and doesn't have an excessive desire to chew!! Eeek!

He doesn't chew that much at all... even when he was a wee puppy. But, we did give him plenty of toys like plush and some chews. I think all dogs like to chew, but he's not that bad at all.. just have to give them lots of toys and they'll stay away from your stuff. Our's is a little "mouthy" when he plays and likes to lick. Maltese hair gets very long (to the floor) so you have to keep them brushed or they'll mat.... their hair is very soft and like silk. We clip our's (two or three times a year) because he's a little boy that likes to get into the leaves and stuff and he'd be bringing the outside world indoors. In the winter, we let his coat grow as long as it will get... but, if he is matting a lot we'll clip him and make him wear a sweater. This breed can only be kept indoors, as they do not have an undercoat. They don't shed and am told that they are hypoallergenic. He didn't bark for the first 6 months of his life, but has become a fantastic watch dog... I never fear anything getting by his guard. They don't get any bigger than 10 lbs and are very happy, youthful dogs. We love our's so much and my mom called last week to tell me that she got one too! She got a female.

Biggest thing I'd tell you is it's important to keep a Maltese clean.. weekly bath (with a good conditioner - I use Dove intense moisturizing) and keep them brushed.

Yes... Lawry's is disappointing... they have the BEST seasoned salt. We use the rotisserie a lot and this on roasting turkey is so incredibly delicious. Guess they'll just have to lose my business.

Thanks for all the info. about your dog! :) I would only have a dog indoors. We have been "dogless" for about 7 years, and are ready to enter that realm again. We had a wonderful, beautiful Yorkie that was 3 lbs. soaking wet... can't replace her, but would love to find a breed that is as wonderful as she was. Thanks again!!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      This is great thank you very much @Scott Adams
