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.

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:
