Hey guys!

Does anyone know if the free Maggiano's mints are gluten free? I always am so tempted to grab a few but don't want to risk it! :) I'd appreciate any and all input.

Did you find out if Maggsinos mints are gluten free?

I can not find this product for sale.  I assume they are private labeled mints sold to a restaurant.  You could ask to see the carton they came in (read the ingredients label).  I personally would skip it.  Go buy some JUNIOR Mints or Pearson’s Mints at the local grocery, big box,  or drug store as theses are gluten free and made in the USA.

      Help needed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!

      Lost

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling for so long without the answers or relief you deserve. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a celiac diagnosis yet still face debilitating symptoms, especially after decades of strict gluten-free living. Your history of chronic health issues—SIBO, food allergies, recurrent infections, and now potential complications like nerve pain (left leg) and mucosal ulcers—suggests there may be overlapping conditions at play, such as autoimmune comorbidities (e.g., Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s), nutrient deficiencies, or even refractory celiac disease (though rare). Stanford is an excellent step forward, as their specialists may uncover missed connections. The medical gaslighting you’ve endured is unacceptable, and while legal action is an option, focusing on thorough testing (e.g., repeat endoscopy, micronutrient panels, autoimmune markers, skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis) might be more immediately helpful. Menopause can absolutely exacerbate underlying inflammation, so hormonal imbalances should also be explored. For symptom relief, some in the celiac community find low-dose naltrexone (LDN) or mast cell stabilizers helpful for systemic issues, but a functional medicine doctor (if accessible) could tailor supplements to your needs. You’re not alone in this fight—keep advocating fiercely at Stanford. Document everything meticulously; it strengthens both medical and potential disability claims. Sending you strength—this shouldn’t be so hard, and you deserve real solutions.

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since you have a confirmed celiac disease diagnosis alongside severe IgA deficiency, consulting an immunologist is a reasonable step to better understand the implications of your immune status. While many IgA-deficient individuals remain asymptomatic, the deficiency can occasionally be linked to increased susceptibility to infections, autoimmune conditions, or other immune-related concerns. An immunologist can assess whether additional monitoring or preventive measures (e.g., vaccinations, infection screening) are warranted. Given your location in Atlanta, academic medical centers like Emory University may have immunologists familiar with IgA deficiency, even if they don’t specialize exclusively in it. Telemedicine is also a great option—consider reaching out to specialists at institutions like the NIH, Mayo Clinic, or Cleveland Clinic, many of whom offer remote consultations. If you haven’t already, checking with the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) for provider recommendations might help. It’s always wise to gather expert insight, especially since celiac and IgA deficiency can coexist with other immune dysregulation.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've spoken to the founder of GliadinX and you that would be a good approach--but I'm assuming you're eating gluten-free options and worried about cross-contamination. I do this myself when eating in restaurants and traveling. If you know you accidently eat a lot of gluten you can safely ramp up the dosage and take 4 or 5, according to my conversations.
