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.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
