Ewww...don't want no grits contaminating my bacon ;)

Sorry just teasing...couldn't resist. I think my mother turned me off them for the rest of my life by making me eat bad grits before school when I was younger!

I was actually told to stay away from grits (no problem for me) so they might not be safe but I may have been mis-informed (it wouldn't be the first time).

Bob's Red Mill makes soy grits, rice grits and millet grits on their gluten-free lines. They also have a "Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal" that combines a number of grains that's of a similar texture.

I am specifically looking for corn grits. Concerned that Quaker, who handles wheat and oats, could have cross contamination.

We had a discussion about grits a few weeks ago. Open Original Shared Link

Long story short - Quaker don't guarantee their sterility, and some people don't trust them. There are other brands that are guaranteed gluten-free. Personally, I've never had a problem with Quaker grits, and I think they're safe. If anybody has had a reaction, please let me know.

Interested in knowing the other brands of grits that state they are gluten-free.

Thanks.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
