I'm new to this and all this stuff is new to me. If I'm understanding this correctly, if I wanted gluten-free milk, cheese, etc. I should probably buy Organic. Or am I wrong on this? I'm so confused lately.

Chasing, organic would just mean that whatever they fed the dairy cows was organic. So they could feed them organic, as opposed to conventional, wheat. See what I mean?

Still gluten even if organic.

Thanks for posting the email from Dr J. I read this thread last night and have been thinking about the safety of eating meat of grain fed beef. So I was really intereseted in that part. I am even happier not that we have started raising our own chickens and they are corn and scrap fed (fruits, and veggies).

Chasing, you can buy grass fed beef it may or may not be organic. In our state (Maine) it is expensive to become certified organic so many of the local farmers do not label their products this way. However they are available at the local health food store and it states on the package that they are grass fed.

My next question is how do we know that grass isn't like wheat, barley, rye, etc? I mean in the sense that it would be difficult for someone with celiacs to digest.

I also want to add that my family drinks raw milk and we have never been ill from it. I think it is homoginized, I don't know if that takes out the buggies. It comes from a farm a few miles out side of town. Last fall we visited it and pet all the really sweet dairy cows. One kept trying to eat my daughters hair that was dry and bleached like straw from the summer! Their facility is really clean, the milk tastes sooo much better, and it comes in glass jars that you return to the store for a deposit, so there is not waste, nothing to throw away when the bottles empty. I haven't heard of anyone hear becoming ill, but if I made the decision to drink it I would want to find out where it came from. I let my sister drink it for several months to see if she and her son got sick before I started giving it to my family :P . We are off the white stuff presently.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
