Tapioca is gluten free. I don't have any problems with it. I can't speak for why others may be avoiding it.

Definately no problem with tapioca. I eat daily huge amounts. I don't know who has a problem with tapioca and why.

Tapioca is fine--gluten wise.

I'm one who is intolerant to it--it makes me very sick to my stomach. I avoid it :)

If it weren't for tapioca I'd be having a really hard time. It's one of the most commonly used gluten-free flours that I can handle.

I finally pin pointer what I was feeling sick from still (tapioca flour/starch) and stopped eating things that contained it and felt sooooo much better. It was almost like I was eating gluten but at times worst. The only thing that is bad is that pretty much all gluten free recipies and alot of really good gluten free foods have tapioca in them :(

When you go gluten you start to notice other things that bother you. Sadly tapioca is one of mine.

Do you feel sick when you eat things with tapioca? If not then you are good to go with tapioca foods and recipies :)

Tapioca bothers me- no doubt. No gluten, just a reaction to tapioca.

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      "Vitamin D, as an immune modulator, is known to regulate immune response and maybe implicated in disease pathogenesis or susceptibility of celiac disease. Components of the immune system, such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and dendritic cells, are influenced by the regulatory effects of Vitamin D ... Increasing evidence also suggests that Vitamin D deficiency...

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.
