I did not vote because I am only familiar with the CSA Product List.

When I was first diagnosed, I went into the panic mode. I did order the CSA Product listing and was pleased at the time. It is geared to west coast and midlands grocery stores that we do not have available here. If you have a Traders Joe's in your area, yes, it will be helpful. I live in a town of 6,000. :(

It does have a limited lifetime. Products do change their ingredients and they require constant updates to guarantee their gluten free status.

I would suggest the Product Thread on this site. I kept a legal pad next to my computer and wrote down everything that could accompany my pantry. UNTIL you learn to read labels a recommended gluten free product or company contact information is great when your are learning the ropes.

It is very frustrating in the beginning, but I can assure you that it will become easier.

PS. Whole Foods has a very extensive gluten free product list that is available at their stores upon request.

I ordered Cecilias and the clan resteraunt guide. I KNOW that these will change frequently at least it gives me a starting point. I have been gluten-free for a little over a year...Just not too serious (only reading labels). Been sick for too long!

Thanks I love the pad idea.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
