Things A New Celiac Can Eat Right Away

This is from my local CSA Group (Fox Valley, WI). It helped me tremendously in the first few weeks...

I mentioned it several times in other posts..... It loses it's formatting when I cut and paste, but it is still very useful information. If you would like the nice, 1-page document, please PM me with your email and I'll get it off to you.

(As always - read labels anyway!!!)

Thank you so much. I'm new and this is so helpful. I printed it out to keep in my purse. :)

The food items looked okay as far as I am aware, but I just called Chapstick last week and they said they could NOT guarantee their products were gluten-free, so just be sure to double check!

The key word in that statement is "guarantee"--almost nobody will "guarantee" that something is gluten-free these days. Most legal departments now require that disclaimer be given. What it typically means is that they acquire ingredients from third parties and use them without testing each and every one every time. I use Chapstick, and have never had a problem.

You always give such informative and straightforward advice, Peter! If it weren't for the liability problem, most information regarding gluten-free status would be easier for everyone. I also have used Chapstick without any problems so that is good enough for me. :D

      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.
