Organic Options?


StephanieL

Recommended Posts

StephanieL Enthusiast

In my research (which I will admit is not extensive) I am not seeing a lot of organic options for gluten-free flours and products. If my son (3 yo) does have it it seems like I am going to have to choose between gluten-free and organic and I HATE that! I have spent the last 3 years of his life being very mindful of what and where his food comes from. I hope I am just not looking in the right places for gluten-free organics.

I googled:

Open Original Shared Link

https://www.celiac.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=106

Also saw organic coconut flour, Arrowhead Mills organic brown rice flour.

There are some certified organic gluten-free flours at Open Original Shared Link, though not all of their gluten-free flours are organic. Sad but true.

Caution about Arrowhead Mills flours: Several members of this board (including myself) have reported CC (Cross-Contamination) issues with their so-called gluten-free products. Last I checked, they are not processed in dedicated gluten-free facilities.

Organic Quinoa is a complete gluten-free protein and is readily available in both white and red at health food stores and at some main stream supermarkets like Wegman's.

Thanks for all the input!

As I am looking more and more I see some options but it just doesn't seem like much. If we have to go gluten-free (still trying to navigate the tests) all the packaged stuff requires eggs or milk and butter and stuff which we can't do.

whole natural foods can be both organic and gluten free. Broccoli, lettuce, carrots, green peppers, beef, chicken, apples, strawberries, etc etc etc...

You don't have to eat packaged gluten free foods to be gluten free. Mother Nature made a whole bunch of stuff already! :D

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was looking for things like baking mixes and flours as well as pastas.

Have you tried Bob's Red Mill? I use their Organic gluten-free Flours exclusively.

      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

      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.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
