I called Bob's Red Mill today and I asked them about their products that do not have they gluten free symbol, such as corn meal, and they said that those non-labeled products could be made on lines shared with gluten. The gluten free labeled products are made in a gluten free room. I just thought that I would pass on the information. I have been buying all my grains from Bob's Red Mill. I will call some of the mainstream companies to ask about their practices.

Thanks for the info! Good to know.....

I've also called Bob's and gotten the same response. This is why their soy flour does not have the gluten-free logo on it, even though it appears to be gluten-free based on the ingredients. I used to just buy BRM products without looking at the packaging too closely, so I made this mistake.

I got glutened by their cornflour BAD right after I was DX, before I know about their gluten-free line. The cornmeal and corn flour that they offer are processed in their NON-gluten-free facility. They do not ELISA test it, and do not market it as gluten-free (No gluten-free symbol).

They do offer a gluten-free cornbread mix that is gluten-free. The cornmeal for that mix is processed in their gluten-free facility. But because of limited space in their gluten-free mill, they do not offer a gluten-free corn flour or cornmeal as a part of the gluten-free line.

The first six months after my diagnosis, I didn't know that the gluten-free symbol had to be on the package, either. I was eating the carob daily and got sicker and sicker - nearly death. The day I took it out, I gained back 10lbs in 1 week. I trust their products, never react, and always remember to look for the symbol EACH time I re-buy anything just incase.

Thanks so much for this info. I have avoided their products because of fear of CC, even the ones labeled gluten-free. I learned my lesson well from Frito Lay :D It is nice to know that I can try some of their stuff safely. I will admit I should (could) have called but I have so many things that I have bought then donated after a phone call that I never bothered. I have been wanting cornbread for quite some time and will pick up the mix the next trip to the store. Thanks again.

Whoops! I just posted an email I got from Bob's Red Mill without looking at this post! Great minds think alike. Anyway, I'd love to know if anyone finds a vendor that sells decently priced gluten free corn meal.

Ravenwood,

In case the Bob's dosen't work out, The Gluten Free Pantry Cornbread Mix is really good. I make that frequently.

I'll have to see if my local health food store will order that for me, I use quite a few of their products that they carry but haven't seen this one. My son told me about Kinnikinick premade pizza shells and they had them in the next week. Those by the way are excellent, expensive but very good buttery tasting and flaky. I tried one toasted in oven then split open and filled with cream cheese and jelly, better than a pop tart but hard to resist eating in one sitting.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
