"may Contain Traces Of Wheat....."

I picked up a package of Wasa crackers last night and was looking at the nutritional info. Now clearly I know these are NOT gluten-free, but as I scanned the ingredients, basically 100% rye, listed below was "Allergen info: May contain traces of wheat"

duh

I guess some people can handle rye and not wheat, I just thought it was a little comical. :)

lol. I guess if someone just has a wheat allergy, they could eat all the rye they want.

Hi 'celiac-mommy',

I believe that there are people who have a wheat intolerance, but are comfortable eating

'rye', 'spelt' etc, (don't you just hate them <ahttps://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_mad.gif' alt=':angry:'> ). 'Only Joking'

I know-wish we were one of those :P, it just struck me as funny for some reason-probably because it was 930pm, I'd been up since 6, got 4 hours of sleep the night before (darned hospital call) and I was in the grocery store stocking up for the month since my kids were in bed and I had a moment of peace and quiet. I was a little rummy ;)

Heck! we all have our moments when something that we see or hear starts a 'titter'.

I just sent an E-mail a short time ago and was mentioning my brother-in-law,

and added In-laws, Out-laws, John Wayne whatever, I had just slipped into ' Funny half-Hour'. :lol: .

If you can smile and laugh at the 'ridiculous and the sublime' it helps!

Don't take life too seriously, they say laughter is the best medicine (wonder is it a cure for Celiac)? :unsure:

While getting some Immodium not to long ago I accidentally knocked off a box of suppositories, I hope no one saw me (or heard me) laughing as I put it back on the shelf and read "Do not take by mouth" :huh:

      Back home after the scope.  Dr said as soon as he got in there it was clear signs of celiacs.  Must be a decent amount of damage.  I don’t remember the post procedure conversation as the anesthesia was still wearing off but that’s what my wife says anyway.  Still the biopsy results to come back but pretty definitive and now I get to learn to live gluten free

      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain more gluten than the generally accepted as safe daily limit of 10 mg. I have seen gluten-free beers testing at between "undetectable" and 5-10 ppm. I have also seen a report of a positive home test on Daura Damm, which is sold as gluten-free beer - the manufacturer did not respond to the tester's query.

      Welcome to the forum! Do you mean this article, and if so, I don't think these are available yet.

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to worry that those five gluten-free days could affect the results, your logic is spot-on—it's highly unlikely your intestines healed completely in that short time, and the fact that your joint pain and stomach issues have flared back up aggressively after reintroducing gluten is a very strong, and unfortunate, sign that the inflammation is indeed present and active. It's also very common for people to look back and connect dots, like your lifelong migraines, once a potential celiac diagnosis is on the table, as it's a systemic condition with many non-gastrointestinal symptoms. I truly hope this scope provides the clear answers you need to finally start on the right path to managing your health and finding lasting relief from the fatigue and pain. Safe travels for your drive, and here's hoping for a definitive answer and a brighter, healthier chapter ahead.
