It seems that the publicity for celiac/gluten intolerance has become a two edged sword. It's good for advancing research and awareness but, when the mainstream media get their teeth in it becomes a diet fad, a lifestyle choice and a food companies stock value. I believe only a small amount of the world's population actually realizes that it is a disease that demands a gluten free diet. It's not a choice, it's not a new diet just to try and sufferers should not be taken advantage of with gluten-free food with a footnote. I'm very glad that these companies are being called out on this matter. Thanks for posting the article.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Michael P · Posted

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary--wine and other alcoholic beverages might also fit in here. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I completely agree with you—celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are far more complex than mainstream medicine often acknowledges. The genetic component is vastly underrecognized, with multiple genes (not just HLA-DQ2/DQ8) contributing to susceptibility. Your point about HLA-DQA1:05 is critical; even ‘rarer’ genetic variants can have serious clinical implications. I appreciate the book recommendation—No Grain, No Pain sounds like a powerful resource, especially given the author’s bold stance against conventional dietary dogma. Your decade-long experience with a grain-free diet is inspiring and underscores how transformative dietary changes can be for autoimmune conditions. It’s frustrating how narrow testing and outdated guidelines leave so many suffering. Your work as a Functional Nutrition Counselor is so needed in this space.
