Mushrooms

So I am watching a show on the History Channel about pizza. They are covering not only the dough but the toppings. And they are telling us about how mushrooms are grown. They broke open a bag of mushroom seeds. They said the seeds are usually started on millet, but sometimes they are grown on rye seeds.

Now I can't say one way or the other, but it sounds like there might be a possibility of gluten in mushrooms.

My opinion is that they are gluten free. The mushroom spores are, under sterile conditions, innoculated in the grains and colonize the entire grain enabling them to be sown like seed. It seems as if the mushroom spores have a symbiotic relationship either antagonistic or commensal with the grains . Just my take on it. Here are a few things I found.

*IN* mushrooms, I'd say no. It's not like they are going to simply uptake and store gluten themselves. A reason to wash your mushrooms? Maybe. :)

I'm pretty sure that I have been glutened by mushrooms, but then again, I am very sensitive to low levels of gluten. Maybe that's why.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
