Hi There,

I was wondering on the vega protein powders.....they say gluten-free but contain wheat and barley grass....I called the company direct and they said they have all products tested and are below the celiac standards.....I am still worried but have not been able to find another exceptable yummy tasting protein powder that is gluten-free and Dairy free....and it can't be whey....

I found out the hard way that I react to barley and wheat grass the same as I do to a slice of bread. I wouldn't touch the stuff.

Have you looked into any of the Hemp protein powders? I don't remember the name but there was one that I used to use that was dairy and gluten and soy free.

Thanks i think you are right..I have tried there other products in the past and felt OK...now being 100%% gluten-free and basically not eatting anything that does not say gluten-free on the package...or even if it does not buying questionable foods like this one....i have been feeling so so so much better..I dont think it is worth the chance....I did find one yesterday in my searches that looks good and has great reviews....Manitoba Harvest...hemp pro 70 mix it right in water and go...pretty tastey and very convenient....thanks again for your help

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
