Okay good cause we have some milk that a nieghbor gave us cause they went away for a vaction and di d not want it to go to waste. But its from a brand that actully refused to tell me if they had gluten in some fo their products. So we have avioded thier entire line....

Regular milk will not have gluten in it. If they have something added to it and will not tell you then I would be concerned and it may have gluten.

But what about the whole OJ thread last week? I think if the label is more than one ingredient long -ie, milk or oranges - you need to call. OJ is more often than not these days fortified with ????? or flavored or who knows what.

As for the neighbor's milk....as long as they didn't drink straight from the container while eating sandwiches or cookies.....it would be ok.

Yea, thats what I'm saying..if there is any added ingredients then you need to check but just them plain is nothing to be concerned about.

That would be pretty nasty if the neighbors gave them milk that they drank straight from the container :o

Yep, ewwwww, but that is how my mind works now.

Brain: "is there ANY way this might not be gluten-free....?"

I have never come across a problem with milk, but I distinctly remember being shocked when I first began researching that in some small areas of the country there was a problem with certain milks. Seems like it was in the midwest somewhere. I wish I could remember the details. It had something to do with the processing facilities in that area.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
