I'm almost certain that Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is not gluten related. I was worried about the word glutamate too when we were trying to figure out what was safe when my fiancee was first diagnosed. I had no idea and was worried since glutamate sounds so similar, like it could be derived from gluten or something! My (smarter than me :wub: ) fiancee was pretty confident that glutamate was entirely different that gluten. I think she said glutamate is an amino acid whereas gluten is a glycoprotein.

So I'm quite confident that Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is a non-issue gluten-wise but don't take my word as the gospel; I am still learning too.

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate does not contain gluten. Cocoyl means it is derived from coconut--glutamate is nothing to worry about

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      yes, definitely old news by now. I posted in response to a reply posted on this topic this week. Sticking with the original story, I googled product recalls related to MAM's original claims. Did not see any so I am guessing MAM's claims of gluten contamination did not hold up to scrutiny. Trying to be objective about that whole controversy, to me GFW...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that...

      @jenniber, it would be pointless for your brother to get tested for celiac disease if he has already gone gluten free. Doing so invalidates the testing. He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread)...

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that was also diagnosed for nerve pain. I said no as I didn't want the stigma of being on antidepressants. Seven years later I begged my GP to prescribe them and my life was changed almost immediately. If I'm glutened accidentally whilst eating out then my nerves pain/symptoms get worse but it's nothing compared to taking the medication and feeling a little drowsy every now and then.  The best of luck for the future.

He would need to undergo a "gluten challenge". That is, he would need to go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, or the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for several weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw.

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, that might work as well.
