Glutened Or Just Too Many Additives?

I made Hillshire Farm Turkey Kielbasa last night. I read on here that it was gluten free but this morning checked again and the posts were from 2006. DOH!

I also ate some Hershey's chocolate but there are no gluten ingredients listed. CC? Oh and I had Trader Joe's brown rice pasta for the first time. CC?

The sausage does have "natural flavors" in it so I'm wondering if it's that or just all the additives.

This morning I had a coughing fit and shortness of breath, one bout of D, and anxiety. It only lasted about 20 minutes and so far seems to be gone now.

Amazingly, I'm pretty calm about it. I would have had a full blown panic attack before but I think being on the diet is giving me more ability to cope.

Should I call Hillshire Farm and double check? I love that sausage and it's really low calorie. My family is nuts for it too.

What about the "MSG"? That's a red flag for me. I'd give them a call.

last time I checked, a few months ago, the sausage was fine. I couldn't eat anything that processed for the first few months. How about the chocolate? Was it a mini? Minis are very prone to cc.

It was a valentine heart. Yeah it might just also be too soon with the processed stuff. I had some other sausage from Costco that has no nitrites or icky additives and I was fine. I think it's Amy's. It's gluten free.

You know, this is so frustrating because it also could be CC from my gluten kids. UGH

That is one reason I am so thankful our house is gluten free. 2 of 3 are Celiac, so my 12 yr old is odd man out, LOL

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Bronwyn W · Posted

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?
