Endocopy For Celiac On Tuesday

I have a question that I need help with and don't know if my doctor or his nurse can answer it.

I think the people of this "community" have more knowledge.

I have been on the Celiac diet since 8/16/07. I am to have a 2nd biopsy of my small intestine on Tuesday to see if the diet has "worked' to know for sure that I do indeed have Celiac. My problem is that yesterday, i got a little flavor packet to add to my water and noticed it has maltodextrin in it. Something I recognized as a no no. I have been using these packet almost daily for 3 weeks. Is this going to screw up the validity of the biopsy I am having in 3 days???????? It was too late to call my doctor and I don't know if he would know anyway. Should the test be rescheduled??

When I first started the diet, I kept making mistakes out of ignorance. I feel like I have gotten pretty good at staying gluten free, but I am afraid this is could be a big deal. Does anyone have any suggestions or know if this will affect my test????

Call the company and inquire about the source--maybe the maltodextrin isn't barley??

maltodextrin comes from corn in the US.

Maltodextrin in the USA is corn--it is safe. If it were from wheat, it would be required by the allergen labeling law to be safe.

Thank you to all 3 of you for your help. I didn't know maltodextrin wasn't wheat in the US. It is just on my "forbidden" list given to me by my doctor. I will call the manufacturer to be positive that it is okay to have. Thanks!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
