Which Tests Should I Order?

I don't have medical insurance and bloodwork through a doctor is ridiculous...if they'll even do it.

I'm looking at some of my options. Regardless of the outcome I am still going to go gluten free for about three months, but it would be nice to be able to, say, tell my mother at Sunday dinner, "Oh, I can't eat your pasta because my blood work indicated I had a gluten intolerance and possibly celiac disease" rather than "I'm just trying this out. Humor me."

I'm aware the tests are often falsely negative.

I looked at enterolab, but I have some reservations about them after reading the threads on this site.

I looked at Biocard, but somebody said people can produce antibodies regardless of whether or not they are intolerant and Biocard doesn't give a range.

I found this place...Open Original Shared Link

Will those tests be enough?

The price is reasonable.

Thanks!

Hi, I would recommend taking a look at Open Original Shared Link. The cost is high but not outrageous (about $400 I think). Good luck!

      In addition to cutting out oats, you may want to investigate any medications or supplements you're taking - they can sometimes contain gluten.  You can check medication ingredients online at sites like DailyMed (www.dailymed.nlm.nih.gov).

      thank yo, i still eat a bit of dairy and a fair amount of processed foods. I wonder if I have sibo... I will look into that

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
