Gluten Guard

I recently purchased the Gluten Guard product through this website. I'm wondering though how accurate it is. I've seen several people say that Pantene products were safe, but every one I tried came up as having gluten in it.

Anyone else have any experience with this?

I am going to have to check this product out. I would, from personal experience with Pantene, expect it may be correct. I have seemed to have a gluten reaction, hair falling out and rash, when I used this product so I stopped using it even though others have had no problem. My guess would be that this item has Vitamin E in it. That is often wheat derived but perhaps like with gluten grain alcohols and vinagers they consider it safe because it has been processed?

It's a software product that you can buy for either your computer or your PDA. I have the one for the PDA, and I bought it on this website. You enter in the UPC code from any prodeuct, and if it is in the database, it will tell you if the product has gluten in it.

I found that there were a lot of basic products that were not in the database, but there were also a lot that were. It's not a one-stop sloution for avoiding gluten, but I thought it would be a good tool. They clearly state that they keep it as up to date as they can, but it is not always 100% accurate. I'm just wondering how much it can be relied on, if it's giving me information that is different that some of the information that people are posting on different threads in this website.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
