I live in Northern Indiana and am in need of a doctor who knows more about celiac than just looking up the word when I mention it to them. I have been diagnosed with celiac about 8-9 months ago and have been doing my level best to stay on a gluten free diet. I am having side effects on top of side effects but can't seem to get answers from my doctors..

I've been doing a lot of research using the new scholar.google.com search engine. One study involved gluten-free celiac patients with symptoms. 86% were improved when gluten-free products were removed as they are federally allowed to contain .03% gluten which caused the symptoms. You already know you may have difficulty breaking down dairy becuase of the current intestinal damage. You may be having different side-effects. If so, what? Good luck!

      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.

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.
