I just found a box yesterday in the store, and out of habit, I checked the ingredients. But, I'm not seeing barley malt (or any malt) listed!

The ingredients look gluten free. Now before I go buying out the store or even eating the cereal, can someone else confirm that I'm reading the package correctly? Last week I grabbed an energy bar that I thought was gluten free... missed the oat fiber in the ingredient statement!

Could it be, Great Value's changing over to gluten free cereals? That would be wonderful...

The Wal-Mart website lists barley malt in the ingredients: Open Original Shared Link Admittedly, the site is still in beta testing, so it isn't necessarily up-to-date. Is "natural flavoring(s)" listed on your box? As barley isn't a top 8 allergen, they don't necessarily have to disclose it... but since they did as of the time the website was set up, one would think they still would. I'd still recommend trying to find somebody to ask at Wal-Mart headquarters, but it certainly sounds promising.

The box used to specifically state barley malt, so that's why I'm wondering if this is a new formulation. It does have the "may contain wheat" statement on it, and the box does not state gluten free. I'll see if I can get a call into them tomorrow (my phones at work last week were on the fritz!)

if it says "may contain wheat" i would STAY AWAY. that to me would sound off the alarms. that means they probably share uncleaned lines and change the formulation often. as far as im concerned if GV brand doesnt say gluten-free i dont buy. that cereal would not be worth the risk

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
