I have never seen that at our Trader Joe's but TJ'S does have a gluten-free list printed if you ask at the front office. It is lengthy but I don't see the food you mentioned but my list from TJ's is over a year old now. Whole Foods also has a printed phamplet with gluten-free...

Trader Joe's updates their list fairly regularly, and it can be downloaded from their website.

The Vindaloo isn't on their list, but if you read the ingredients carefully it should tell you. They do not hide gluten in things like "natural flavors." Most of their foods don't have dedicated lines, though, so although they practice "good manufacturing" to clean lines between runs, some of the most sensitive people still have had issues with certain TJ's products.

All of their foods which are manufactured in facilities or on equipment with wheat are marked on the label, however, as an added precaution.

Is it the Butter Chicken, or is there actually a vindaloo? I've been eating the butter chicken, LOVE it and no problems!

BTW if you're craving vindaloo, Patek's curries are almost all gluten-free - their vindaloo paste is delicious and I put it on chicken often.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
