Hi I'm new to this site. My 5 year old son, Ryan, is in the process of being diagnosed with Celiac. He had a blood test 3 months ago, and we found out today when we saw the GI doctor that it was inconclusive. That 2 of the tests were not valid b/c he has some protien in his blood that is on the low side and can effect the test. However, the 3rd one showed high levels and needed to be looked into. He did another blood test today and if the numbers are still high, he is going to do an Endoscopy and find out for sure if he has it or not.

So, when I was googling info about this disease I found this website. I decided to join to find out some info, so if he does end up having it, I can be prepared. Hope to meet other moms who have kids with it. :)

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      Cigars

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the...

So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
