Readi-cat

I'm scheduled for a CT scan of abdomen next week and must ingest a solution prior, it is called Readi-CAT. I looked it up online and called the Readi-CAT's toll free number (E-Z-EM, www.ezem.com) to make sure it is gluten free and safe for celiacs.

The answer was AVOID THE VANILLA and stick to the berry flavors -- the vanilla flavor may have some gluten containing ingredients.

Just FYI because radiology didn't say anything about it, nor seem to know for sure if it was OK when I asked if it was gluten free. Glad I called them, because I probably would have chosen the vanilla! Yikes! :(

I feel for you - I had to drink 2 bottles of that stuff a few weeks ago. I drank the orange one, and besides C (which they warned me might happen) and nausea from the taste, I didn't have any other side-effects. A word of advice - make sure it's as cold as possible when you're ready to drink it, it's better when it's really cold.

Good luck on your test!

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
