Gluten Free/corn Free

Does anyone know of any gluten/wheat free/corn free/ junk foods???

cookies, cake mixes, chips? anything???

my grandmother today bought me some gluten/wheat free cookies that made me very sick. We looked at the ingredients and my mother reminded me that years ago a Dr. told me i was allerigic to corn. which i had forgotten.

this might be why all my symptoms had not gone away. so now I am trying to go on a gluten free / corn free diet.

I can eat kinnikinnick bread. so whatever is in that, is the kind of stuff i guess i should be eating.

but i would like to be able to eat some junk food along with the rest of the family :P

you might want to check out allergygrocer.com. you can search by allergen on there, including corn and gluten.

Hi,

We buy Enjoy Life brand cookies and snack bars a lot for myself and my daughter from the Gluten Free Mall. Arico Foods also makes some good gluten-free/corn-free snack bars - the peanut butter one is our favorite. We often shop on allergygrocer.com and shopbydiet.com because you can search specifically for items that are free of multiple allergens. Cutting out gluten and corn is a challenge when searching for junk food, but it is out there!

      Positive biopsy

      Yep, you've got celiac disease. That is a high score. In the U.K. you could have been diagnosed on the TTG-IGA score alone and not needed an endoscopy/biopsy. But I realize your physicians were not looking for celiac disease in the first place. But it also makes me wonder how much of your bowel issues are tied to celiac disease whose onset may actually have...

      Second update: the tTG just came through. Scale is 0-4.99flu. My result is 108.47.

      Positive biopsy

      This is a good point. The primary things I’ve been able to tolerate are crackers and pretzels and bread slices (also rice and potatoes but ntp). I’ve been loading up on gluten based snacks so the testing should be valid as far as I understand.

      Positive biopsy

      Just one thing I will add that you need to be aware of. If by some chance you had been avoiding gluten or eating less of it than what would be normal for most healthy people, the antibody results for celiac might still be negative. I understand that one of the symptoms of SMA syndrome is difficulty in eating because stuff isn't moving through like it should...

      Positive biopsy

      Your total IgA is normal. This test is run because if you are deficient in IgA the celiac specific IgA tests might not be valid (might not detect celiac disease). Hopefully some of those other tubes of blood will include other tests for celiac antibodies which might include Tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA and IgG, Deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA and IgG,...

Valid celiac antibody testing requires the consumption of normal/generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of the blood draw.

      Your total IgA is normal.  This test is run because if you are deficient in IgA the celiac specific IgA tests might not be valid (might not detect celiac disease). Hopefully some of those other tubes of blood will include other tests for celiac antibodies which might include Tissue transglutaminase (TTG) IgA and IgG, Deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA and IgG, and Endomysial antibody (EMA).  They don’t all have to be positive to indicate celiac disease. Please let us know the results when you get them.  We will probably then say “welcome to the club you never wanted to join.”

      Hi all. Thank you for the responses. I hope I’m responding right, lots of new things this week. I also thought it was a long shot to get any real responses.  Clarifications — the positive biopsy was an accidental finding. I had an endoscopy as a precautionary measure. I was recently diagnosed with SMA syndrome and before surgery they wanted the upper endo to confirm no other problems were hiding.    I had the bloodwork drawn after the biopsy came back positive. Celiac came out of left field. The result I have of 114 is for total IgA on scale of 70-400 mg/ml. There is allegedly another pending lab (they took 4 tubes, only IgA has resulted and I cannot see pending tests until tests are confirmed).
