does any one eat products that say, gluten free, but then also say produced in a facility that uses wheat. i bought Dr. pragers fish patty's, right on the front, it says gluten free (they are sold also on Gluten free mall)

when i emailed the company this was their response.

Hi Mary Lou: Thank you for writing. I am very sorry that you do not think you can eat Dr. Praeger

If I got a response like that, I'd eat the product.

The warning is there for celiacs like me who are sensitive to extremely low levels of gluten. I am happy when companies are conscientious enough to put such labels on their packaging. I would not eat them. Not all celiacs are the same in how much trace gluten they can handle without noticing symptoms.

I would eat the product. I don't believe I'm particularly sensitive and tend to believe companies put that on their products to cover their own bums versus warn us that there's a good chance we'll get CC'd.

I would eat that. The ones I stay away from are the ones that say they are produced on the same equipment.

i still have not eaten the fish.

for those who think Dr. pragers did a good job in their description, i had to e mail them to get that response, that was not an the pkg. the front of the box says gluten free, the back of the box, says manufactured in a facility that uses wheat.,if it wouldn't have said "gluten free", in big blue letters, on the front, i wouldn't have purchased it.

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      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:
